Glasses: I just wanted to buy you a cup of coffee. Dae Young-ssi, you always work so hard ~

She looks at him and thinking about his motive.

Orange: {Pft, just a cup of coffee..? This Jjan-dol-iis thinks he can buy me with just that.}
(TN: Jjan-dol-iis is a way to call people who are greedy, stingy and selfish)

He moves his head closer and lower his voice.

Glasses: ..Dae Young-ssi, these days. Hmm, the atmosphere at the office is a little.. Isn't a bit weird?

She looks at him and stays silent for a moment, then smirks understanding why Glasses's offering her a cup of coffee.

Orange: {..so it's about that.}

She purposely raises up her voice and continues to chat with Glasses.

Orange: Oh my God Daeri-nim, do you feel that way too?

Everyone in the restaurant looks at them because of Orange's commotion.

Glasses: Right? I'm not the only one who's feeling like this, am I?

FM: Teehee..!

FMC: {Where did this come from..}

She keeps laughing because of MC's text.

FMC: {It's so cute!!!}

A coworker who passes by notices FMC's strange behavior.

FMC: {..yeah; if you had a bit more of common sens.. You.. You would know that I can't handle this much, you're too cute.}

The guy heads toward the washbasin.

Dude: Always trying to make a dirty play.

FB looks at him from the corner of his eye.

FB: ..I can't help it, how are the sales going?
(TN: I'm lost with this sentence "…쪌수없지, 개네가 팔아준 게 얼마나?" literally "...I can't help it, how much did they sell it?" I guess there is a special meaning behind it but.. I don't understand the meaning of this one when I translate the answer of the dude, well whatever..)

He takes the thermos that was in her hand and wipes it.

MC: ....I'm sorry.

She looks at him doesn't understanding what he means by that.

MC: Tonight, I don't think I can make it.
