“Thank you.”
The voice was extremely businesslike.
Yeoeun, who had calmly composed herself without mixing any emotions, continued with only the words she needed to say.
“When I left home earlier, I didn’t bring my phone. If you make a call to Persona’s president, he will come.”
Cha Doha’s hand, which had rested on her forehead, touched the hand covering her eyes.
Then he arbitrarily moved her hand away.
Yeoeun, who didn’t want to see Cha Doha’s face, closed her eyes even tighter.
As her vision faded, other senses became more sensitive. From his light breath to the smallest movements, she had to feel everything without letting anything pass by.
He grasped her hand and gently pressed it beside the pillow as he leaned on the bed.
“It would be nice to talk face to face.”
The sunken voice sounded inexplicably languid, sending shivers down her spine.
“If it’s more comfortable to close your eyes, do so.”
It was a languid voice that felt neither warm nor cold.
With that chilling voice, Cha Doha silently pressed her down.
“If you continue to come out like this, I don’t know what else I might do in the future.”
At his continued words, she couldn’t help but raise her eyelids.
“I haven’t let go, but a toy trying to escape, even if I have to break its legs, I’ll put it back in its place.”
Yeoeun, with trembling lips, stared at Cha Doha’s shadowy face as if trying to pierce through it.
His face was imbued with cruel kindness.
“Why did you act all tough in front of me?”
Cha Doha’s fingertip calmly brushed through her hair.
“I gave you a chance to escape several times.”
Perhaps because of the sedative she received earlier, Cha Doha’s words sounded muffled.
“Rest for now. You’ll soon become restless… so.”
After that, a few more words were spoken, but it seemed she couldn’t hear until the end.
Her eyelids slowly closed, and she fell into a deep sleep.
2 AM, dawn.
It was around the time he left the hospital.
“Excuse me, Director.”
Kim Jungju quietly called Doha, who got into a taxi.
“Should I contact Ms. Seo Yeoeun’s guardian?”
“Do you think she has a guardian?”
A man who seemed to be her older brother in a family photo and a woman who looked like her mother.
There were no traces of them in Yeoeun’s house.
According to the story they heard a while ago at the whiskey bar, the mother is in the hospital, and the older brother is on the run.
Can those two really be guardians for her?
Cha Doha went crazy alone, playing the drum and gong to protect those two.
With a temperature exceeding 39 degrees and an immune system weakened, her body had high inflammation levels. Yet, she claimed to be fine, pretending to be strong.
“They asked for a call to Persona’s president, but don’t make the call.”
After pretending to be strong and tough, asking for a call to Persona was surprising enough.
“Since I decided to let her rest until tomorrow morning, show Kim Jungju Manager’s face as soon as she wakes up in the morning.”
He considered staying himself, but decided against it.
It would make Seo Yeoeun more uncomfortable. Or maybe it would make things more complicated.
“Make sure she can’t escape.”
“Yes, understood.”
“And one more thing.”
After a momentary pause, Doha firmly decided and opened his mouth.
“Look into Seo Yeoeun’s background.”
In truth, Doha had been curious about Seo Yeoeun from the beginning.
But she hadn’t actively sought to find out.
Playing with a toy for a while would only give you a headache when you eventually threw it away.
However, in the end, curiosity about what she wanted to know overwhelmed his concern for safety.
“Find out how difficult it is. Why her life is like that. What kind of people her family is. Also, find out who that fussy villa owner is.”
Upon hearing his words, Manager Kim Jungju narrowed his eyes and turned his head slightly.
“How long should I look into it?”
In fact, besides the main tasks in the Strategic Planning Headquarters, Manager Kim Jungju had quite a few other assignments given by Doha.
After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously asked again.
“Is this… more urgent than other tasks?”
I thought he was asking some profound question.
Doha eventually chuckled.
“Really?”
Still maintaining a serious expression, Manager Kim Jungju nodded his head.
“Yes.”
“Assuming that’s the case, then treat it as urgent and bring the results as soon as possible.”
“Yes, understood.”
After hearing Manager Kim Jungju’s prompt response, Doha closed the taxi door and headed straight to HJ Hotel.
Something more urgent.
Leaning against the back seat of the taxi, Doha organized his thoughts.
Was it more important than investigating Vice Chairman Cha and Cha Inwoo, or even Chairman Cha Jiseop’s background related to Seo Yeoeun?
It was by no means more important.
If we were to compare the significance, it was truly a light and unnecessary task.
However, his heart felt differently. He felt an inexplicable restlessness.
How long had it been since he felt this way?
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
