As his lips twisted venomously, his breath opened up. Shrouded in shock and terror, Sejin sat there, motionless.
“Ugh.”
His luxurious shoe lightly touched Sejin’s powerless toes. Even with that small contact, Sejin recoiled as if struck.
Then, a voice with a chilling laughter followed.
“Let’s go nicely.”
That day, Sejin felt a threat to her life for the first time. Although she didn’t know who the man was, the words flowing from his mouth were definitely not mere words.
In the days that followed, she refrained from eating and drinking, haunted by nightmares at night. It was only after barely regaining her composure that she remembered who he was.
Yura occasionally mentioned a man she referred to as “oppa’s friend.” That man’s name was Baek Ihyeon.
If there was a connection with the Jinhwa Group, it was not an ordinary family. You could easily confirm his existence just by searching his name on the portal site.
CH Group successor, Baek Ihyeon.
“That guy is obvious. Baek Ihyeon.”
There was no one else but Baek Ihyeon who could pull off something to this extent.
She wanted to interfere when Yura mentioned marrying Baek Ihyeon, but the situation was unfavorable. It was insufficient to prevent the marriage as Yura’s heart had not been turned yet.
Thinking that it wouldn’t be bad to reclaim Yura while making Baek Ihyeon miserable, Sejin determined that she was not in a position to be oppressed as she was five years ago.
Continuing to interfere with Yura as a determination to repay the disgrace of that day, she also strategically released articles at the right timing. Everything was going according to her plan.
Now, all that was left was to meet Yura and make her realize her feelings, which even she wasn’t aware of. However, someone had thrown a wrench into the works. Moreover, it was poured out completely so that no traces could be found. And the situation was flowing in an unexpected direction.
“What should I do? How should I deal with Baek Ihyeon!”
No matter how much she thought about it, there was no way to remedy the current situation. The most certain way was for Ju Hyerim to help, but she couldn’t reach her, and Sejin’s heart was burning.
She believed that if only Ju Hyerim came, she could turn around this situation. No, it would definitely happen. Then, she would snatch Jin Yura this time and deliver defeat to Baek Ihyeon.
It was hard to read Hyun’s gaze staring into space. Hyerim, who was quick-witted, usually could sense someone’s inner thoughts by paying attention to their expressions, actions, and gaze.
However, she couldn’t read the inner thoughts of Baek Ihyeon no matter how much she faced him. His expression, actions, and even his gaze all contained different meanings.
When Hyun’s unresponsive reaction displeased her, a calm voice came from the silent Hyun.
“Not bad.”
“Not bad? If this is the extent of your help, I should express my gratitude.”
His slow gaze finally reached Hyerim. Instead of a sharp gaze that might reveal his thoughts, Hyerim reflexively diverted her attention.
“You’re doing this because you like her, anyway.”
“Don’t flatter yourself.”
Indeed, he was a dirty fox with a keen sense. Hyerim thought that the more she saw Hyun, the more tempting and threatening he became. Although she enjoyed challenges and felt exhilarated to manipulate those who dominated like that, there was a limit. Knowing when to bow down and show broad discretion made it easier to handle.
In that aspect, Baek Ihyeon had no relevant concerns. Ihyeon was by no means an easy opponent, nor was he someone who could be played with in anyone’s grasp.
Born to enjoy dominating and wielding power, he was a dangerous man. So, it was better to cleanly give up and tame a man who suited her taste.
“Still, thanks to you, I can tidy up neatly.”
“You express your thanks in such a sophisticated way. Now the debt is all paid off.”
Thinking that the conversation had more or less concluded, Hyerim got up, grabbing her bag. Wanting to leave a last word like ‘Let’s handle it well on our own,’ she pursed her lips, but Ihyeon unexpectedly mentioned a name while still in the same posture.
“Song Minwoo.”
“Hmm?”
“Tell him not to hang around my wife.”
The slowly raised gaze was ominously sharp. The atmosphere around Ihyeon, who had changed in an instant, was eerie.
Hyerim recalled what Minwoo had said. According to Minwoo, there was a considerable possessiveness.
She didn’t know what Minwoo had seen to feel that way, but she could see the nature of Ihyeon’s emotions at a glance. Along with that, she saw through the fact that there was a different purpose for allowing Hyerim’s visit aside from Oh Sejin.
This man, he’s in love. The moment she realized that fact, a strange thrill ran through Hyerim. She thought that if she played her cards right, she could completely overturn that inside.
“The reason for meeting me wasn’t just because of Oh Sejin, huh?”
“Don’t you worry that your man’s feelings might change?”
“Aren’t you worried that your trust with your wife is only that much? To the point where you might lose to Song Minwoo?”
Hyerim scratched her head sneakily, and an unexpected response came back.
“Huh, I’m worried that our Yura is too attractive, and you might have wandering eyes over there.”
Hyerim gazed at Ihyeon, who gracefully got up. Irritated by Ihyeon’s confident face, not a joke or a face filled with certainty, Hyerim extended her hand towards him with a displeased expression.
“Well then, enjoy watching. Oh Sejin’s downfall.”
“Sure.”
Without looking back, Hyerim left Ihyeon’s office. While receiving greetings from secretaries, she got on the elevator, recalling the image of Jin Yura she had seen a moment ago.
She was a beautiful woman, proud and fresh. However, she didn’t seem captivating enough to enchant everyone like that.
“The gaze of men and women is different, they say. Do men find such a face attractive?”
Neither Oh Sejin nor Baek Ihyeon could figure out why Minwoo, Song Minwoo, couldn’t regain his senses from Jin Yura. Hyerim tried to suppress the jealousy that subtly arose.
“Mr. Minwoo is into that woman? It’s amusing.”
Hyerim momentarily felt embarrassed by the imagined image of Jin Yura and Song Minwoo, but she quickly shook it off.

really disliked him
