Doha, thinking about Song Kyu-won’s agency location, got into the car, started the engine, and lowered the window to look at Yeoeun.
“Aren’t you regretting it?”
Hidden in his question was whether she would really let him go like this.
In response to his question, Yeoeun earnestly replied, “I regret it. A lot.”
He almost turned off the engine.
She knew she was a funny and somewhat arrogant woman, but she didn’t know she could be this cheeky.
“Today, you keep exceeding expectations.”
Even though she tried not to smile, a frivolous laugh kept breaking through her lips.
Answering his question, she said, “It’s regrettable. Too much.”
He almost turned off the engine.
Despite knowing she was a funny and somewhat arrogant woman, he didn’t expect her to be this audacious.
“Today, you keep exceeding expectations.”
Even though she tried not to smile, a frivolous laugh kept breaking through her lips.
“Would you like me to hold onto you?”
Yeoeun, who silently stared at him, took a while to choose her words.
Then, she, who moistened her lips with the tip of her tongue, cautiously asked, “To be held… would you like that?”
Eventually, laughter burst from Doha’s lips.
Laughing audibly seemed to be something rare.
After laughing for a while, Doha, with his elbow resting on the windowsill, covered his lips with the back of his hand.
If he stretched his hand, he could hold Yeoeun’s white hand.
Right now, if he grabbed her and pressed their lips together, she wouldn’t refuse.
Even if he pulled her into the house and threw her onto the bed, she wouldn’t say anything.
That’s what Yeoeun’s existence was like.
She was such an easy woman, but he no longer wanted that.
“No.”
Doha, who had forcibly hidden laughter lines on his face, looked at Yeoeun coldly.
“If you find it regrettable, continue to regret it.”
Crazy bastard.
He finds it regrettable but still leaves.
With a reluctant feeling remaining to the point where the back of her head feels tingly.
As Doha’s car drove away, Yeoeun just absentmindedly stared.
She almost nodded when he approached, asking if she wanted a taste of the coffee.
Doha, who approached, was tempting enough.
At that moment, Cha Hyun’s words came to mind.
“You’re only worth the money.”
Was she supposed to accept Doha’s lips at that moment, or was she supposed to push him away?
As Yeoeun, who had to resist temptation, she had to push him away at that moment.
Her answer to Doha’s question about whether she regretted it was because she did.
Even her question about whether she would let herself be held was just her body’s struggle for money.
Her current position was somewhat pathetic.
“If you find it pathetic, so what? Who’s going to save your life?”
Got it?
Yeoeun, who turned her lingering gaze from the alley’s end, looked down at the documents in her hands.
Coming for no apparent reason, Cha Doha’s suggestion to eat together momentarily excited her.
But in the end, it was because of work.
“Stop fantasizing and get to work.”
Yeoeun swiftly prepared for work as she cut off the sentiment in one breath.
Being busy prevents unwanted thoughts.
Thursday, Friday, and the weekend.
Taking care of Sojeong in the hospital and hiding in a motel with Intae, she spent the remaining time reviewing the documents exchanged with Doha.
In addition to those documents, Manager Kim Jung-joo sent several files via email.
Thanks to them, Yeoeun could forget about Doha.
On Monday morning, she hurriedly prepared to go to work.
Wearing a gray pencil skirt, a white shirt, and a cherry blossom-colored V-neck knit on top, Yeoeun packed the files in her document bag and prepared the ‘damn’ portfolio.
Putting on glasses as a habit, then taking them off and putting them back on the shelf, she could finally leave her house.
The only advantage of the worst-conditioned villa in Seongsu-dong is that it is conveniently located in the heart of Seoul.
It didn’t take long to get to Hanju Group headquarters.
Although she was told to come by 9 a.m., Yeoeun arrived at Hanju Group headquarters by 8:30 a.m.
The headquarters of Hanju Group, one of the top three conglomerates in South Korea.
Passing by it, she had only looked up at it from the outside, never thinking she would step inside.
Yeoeun, entering a place more splendid than a 5-star hotel lobby, searched through her mobile phone.
Checking Kim Jung-joo’s message once again, Yeoeun approached the information desk.
“Excuse me, Manager Kim Jung-joo from the Strategic Planning Headquarters…”
With just one word, the desk clerk grinned and handed her the access card.
“Are you Team Leader Seo Yeoeun, the outsourced contractor for the electric base? Nice to meet you. We look forward to working with you.”
“Yes, that’s me.”
Feeling embarrassed being addressed by name and title, Yeoeun nodded vaguely and hung the access card around her neck.
It was then, after only a few steps, that she stopped.
“Miss Yeoeun?”
Hearing someone calling her name, Yeoeun halted.
“President Cha In-woo?”
Cha In-woo, who should be at Hanju Mulsan, was crossing the lobby toward her.
With a pretty smile in his eyes, even in his approaching steps, he exuded kindness.
A gentleman who never missed greetings from passing employees.
Indeed, he appeared to be the most popular man in Hanju Group.
“Hello, President.”
Yeoeun, bowing her head in greeting, presented a very professional smile.
Watching her silently, Cha In-woo opened his mouth with a somewhat bitter expression.
“You really came?”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
