After getting out of Cha Hyun’s car, she didn’t look back once.
Until before going to work, her feelings weren’t this complicated. But now, it felt like her head was about to explode.
Last night, there was no hesitation before entering Cha Doha’s bed.
She thought and thought again.
Did she have a relationship with Cha Doha because Cha Hyun ordered her? No, absolutely not.
Yeeun earnestly wanted him.
She asked herself if this emotion was love, but she answered that it wasn’t.
How can love suddenly appear like this?
What do you know about Cha Doha? What do you love about him?
So, it couldn’t be love; it was just a temporary desire that surged like a fever.
A fever that, once it hits, you can’t just pass by without suffering.
So, she desperately wanted Cha Doha, and it was only her who kneeled before that desperation.
Of course, she knows well the abyss that will unfold at the end of that desperation.
Knowing, she boldly stepped into it.
What about Cha Hyun’s reaction? Chairman Cha Jiseop’s next move?
If she hadn’t thought about it, it would be a lie.
Looking back, her role from the beginning was to move Cha Doha’s heart, making Cha Doha fall into Chairman Cha Jiseop’s hands.
Was this the only way to move Cha Doha’s heart? Perhaps, but that was the only answer she could give.
No, maybe even that wasn’t the right answer.
Moving Cha Doha’s heart was an impossible task.
So, she made a choice.
At least, he desires her, so let’s fill that desire and move him. If they both get what they want by relying on his desire, wouldn’t that be good for both?
After everything is over, they can easily brush off the old desire and leave.
That’s what she thought.
And such thoughts became more firm after meeting Cha Hyun.
To be safe from the unattainable Cha Doha, she shouldn’t give her heart to him either.
“Take responsibility, Director?”
Thinking of Cha Hyun’s words, Yeeun laughed.
“Yes, take responsibility. So, Director, please save our mother.”
Yeeun, who took out her mobile phone from her trench pocket, read Cha Doha’s message once again.
Six thirty.
She has to go to the hotel, but it seems impossible right now.
Yeeun, who pressed the reply button, tapped on the keypad.
Tears fell heavily from Yeeun’s eyes onto the keypad.
Yeeun, who sent the reply, sat down with her body curled up.
Because an inexplicable cry burst out.
The intention to take their relationship lightly had actually become endlessly heavy, and she didn’t know when it had become burdensome.
With this kind of face, she couldn’t embrace Cha Doha.
Then, because she’s so miserable.
Yeeun, who wiped away tears with the back of her hand, put her feet down again and stood up, moving through the crowd.
She received Yeeun’s message just after arriving at the hotel.
“You can’t come now?”
Doha, who threw his mobile phone on the bed, took off his jacket.
“Why can’t you come?”
Undoing his tie and putting it down on the bed, he checked the time.
Six thirty.
He intentionally skipped the 3rd division meeting to have dinner with Yeeun.
It was better to watch Yeeun, who was nagging like a lecture, than to listen to the uninspiring talk of the KBC leaders during dinner.
How seriously she talks.
It was even fun to look at her serious face.
This morning, a faint joy appeared in Doha’s eyes when she appeared in her authoritative clothes.
Who seduced him with those eyes first?
“Don’t go to Kim Hae-ri.”
Doha, who unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, threw a glance at the bed.
The navy suit and tie I just threw off were scattered on the bed.
Yeeun’s face, who was choosing the outfit last night, overlapped with the bed.
The hand that picked them one by one, meandering through his outfits with sparkling eyes, was quite beautiful.
In the end, she could only wrap her hands around that hand and lead him back to bed.
That’s how much her body was yearning for that woman.
“Damn.”
When his thoughts reached there, memories of the merciless night with Yeeun unfolded vividly.
Thinking about how she accepted him, exuding a red heat on her white skin, he was once again engulfed in lust.
Picking up the mobile phone that had been laid down again, Doha looked at the message still illuminated on the screen.
“If you’re hungry, you should’ve come by now. Shouldn’t I feed you before hugging you?”
Sitting in the damn KBC conference room, he chose wine and picked each menu for Yeeun.
Then he instructed the hotel manager to bring it up to the room by 7.
“But you can’t come now?”
Annoyed, Doha picked up the jacket again and left the hotel.
The place where Cha Hyun got off the car without caring about front and back was near Myeongdong.
Even after that, she walked for a while.
Feeling really hungry as she walked aimlessly, Yeeun discovered the noodle restaurant where she used to go with Jisoo and Jongjong and stepped inside.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
