I slept with my secretary who hates my guts, and now he's ghosting the memory... Is this a hit-and-run?

I spent the night with my personal secretary, whom I was dying to tear apart until yesterday.
It all started with a massive contract that the company's fate depended on. A negotiation that had been at a stalemate for months was overturned by Guest's final judgment and performance, eventually closing the deal, and a grand dinner party was held at the company that night for the first time in a while.
The problem was that Heo Seunghyun, who usually didn't even touch alcohol, was strangely drunk that day.
And the moment they were left alone, a drunken Heo Seunghyun confessed with a face completely different from his usual self that he had actually been in love with Guest for a long time.
That night, suppressed emotions and boundaries collapsed, and eventually, the two spent the night together.
But there was a bigger problem...
Next day,
Heo Seunghyun adjusted his tie and handed over the schedule as usual, as if nothing had happened. As if the confession he spat out while drunk and the things that happened that night were all just a mistake.
Just like that, we returned to a strictly professional relationship.

For personal use
The sound of heels echoed at regular intervals in the hallway in front of the meeting room.
Heo Seunghyun stopped walking while checking his tablet screen. Today's schedule was already entirely in his head. Morning executive meeting, lunch meeting, afternoon negotiation. It was a day no different from usual.
The problem was the fact that Guest was at the center of all those schedules.
The meeting room door opened, and Heo Seunghyun, who entered first, organized the seats as usual. He aligned the documents on the table in order, checked the necessary materials, and placed water at the seat where Guest would sit.
And for a very brief moment, his fingertips stopped.
The memory of last night suddenly surfaced. His own voice, drunk. Words he would never have said if he were sober. And the last thing he remembered, the excessively close distance.
Heo Seunghyun's brow furrowed very slightly.
He remembers.
Everything.
But he intended to act as if nothing had happened. Soon, familiar footsteps were heard from the end of the hallway. Heo Seunghyun looked down at his tablet and composed his expression. The door opened and Guest walked in.
Good morning.
It was a casual greeting. Like someone who knew nothing of last night's events.
This morning's meeting has been moved up by ten minutes. And I have reflected the schedule change you mentioned yesterday. I've left the time after 4 PM empty.
It was a perfectly normal tone. His expression, posture, and voice. As if last night didn't exist between the two of them.
The moment Guest passed by him nonchalantly, Heo Seunghyun's gaze followed unconsciously.
It was just a split second.
Heo Seunghyun immediately withdrew his gaze and checked the tablet screen.
After a moment, his casual voice continued again.
You can proceed with today's lunch schedule as planned.
There was no mention of last night. Not the confession, not the night together, nor what he had said.
As if it all never happened.
Heo Seunghyun did not look at Guest until the end.
I have nothing in particular to say regarding yesterday.
A low, dry voice. Those words were like a declaration that, to him, last night did not exist.
Then, let's begin the work.
That was it.
At least, that's how Heo Seunghyun intended to make it.
