Seung-hee tried to make a call again with trembling hands. Even today, it felt like she had tried a hundred times, but the other party just wouldn’t answer.
“Choi Ji-hwan, this guy…!”
Seung-hee has maintained an extramarital affair with her ten years younger secretary, Choi Ji-hwan, for twenty years.
It wasn’t a childish love game. It was simply because, during a time when her husband was too afraid to sponsor celebrities due to fear of her husband’s eyes, the young secretary by her side was deemed suitable.
Because he was a secretary, there was never any need to worry about her husband’s suspicions, and there was no need to be concerned about rumors spreading.
He wasn’t particularly smart, but it didn’t matter. He had a fairly decent appearance to relieve accumulating desires and stress, and he was quick-witted, behaving satisfactorily.
However, somewhere along the line, things went wrong. Seung-hee was caught having a relationship with Choi Ji-hwan by Kang Tae-seo. After much deliberation, she told Choi Ji-hwan to go down to the provinces. However, the person who pleaded not to be abandoned, promising to contact as soon as he settled, is now unreachable.
“Where the hell is he hiding…?”
Initially, she contacted him out of discomfort, worried that their illicit affair might be exposed. However, unexpectedly, something she never thought of happened. Problems arose in the foundation work she had always managed well.
“Could it be…?”
For a brief moment, she thought Choi Ji-hwan might have noticed something related to the foundation work and went into hiding, but the suspicion soon faded.
He was quick-witted but not smart enough for that. Moreover, he was a timid person, so she judged that he wouldn’t have created a situation like this.
Unaware of the pain in her bitten fingernails, she cursed the person who wouldn’t answer the phone, but the phone she held in her hand vibrated.
Seung-hee, who opened her eyes wide, hurriedly lowered her gaze to the phone. However, after confirming the name on the screen, she frowned.
“Why, again…?”
It was her husband’s call. Knowing that there was no good news even if she answered, she flipped the phone over and put it down. The person who claimed to be busy with an exploding situation kept calling, causing her a severe headache.
Money laundering or embezzlement—she had managed these things well until now. Why did the situation suddenly explode?
Her husband had been feeding money to the prosecution and the media for a long time. Yet, why couldn’t he stop this? The situation that suddenly exploded without any warning left her flabbergasted.
Staring at the upside-down phone that continued to whine, Seung-hee bit her trembling lips. Having picked up the phone without hesitation after contemplating, she pushed the screen and answered the call.
“Speak.”
“What are you doing, finally answering the phone now! Did Secretary Choi contact you? Not yet?”
“Why are you yelling at me? This whole situation is because of someone!”
Upon reflection, her husband shouldn’t have treated her like this. The reason she was in this predicament was entirely her husband’s fault.
Joh Dae-hoon inherited a foundation that had been operated in Seung-hee’s family for a long time and established the Hyunyang Foundation.
Supporting children and teenagers in need was just for show; in reality, he embezzled money through foundation activities, laundered it, and created slush funds.
The one who placed Ji Seung-hee in the position of foundation director is none other than Jo Dae-hoon. So, in Seung-hee’s opinion, it was unjust that all arrows are now pointing at her. She only did what Dae-hoon told her to do.
“There won’t be any mistakes? Just sit in the chair, stamp the seal, and meet people, exchange business cards, or something!”
―You can’t even properly manage subordinates. What have you done well to make such a fuss?
“Don’t vent your anger on me. Tell me why you called.”
Once, she ardently loved this man. So, she staked everything and married him. Born as the illegitimate daughter of a conglomerate, Seung-hee had numerous choices, but she chose Dae-hoon and handed over her family’s entire estate.
Even though he only knew about work and was cold, she thought it was okay since it wasn’t just her.
After giving birth to a daughter, several years passed before she learned a horrifying fact.
Seung-hee genuinely loved Korean dance. Yoon Se-na, who suddenly appeared in front of diligent Seung-hee day and night, easily surpassed her. She hated her, so much that she sometimes felt the urge to break Yoon Se-na’s wrists and ankles.
She didn’t know that there was a daughter between Yoon Se-na and her husband. One dawn, writhing in betrayal, she saw her husband gazing at Yoon Se-na’s picture with eyes full of regret. It was a gaze filled with obsession and lingering emotions, an expression she had never seen before.
“Do you still have lingering feelings for Yoon Se-na? Really? If you’re so affectionate, why did you send her to the United States? Why are you staring at her picture like that?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
