All the team members were speechless, their mouths hanging open instead of eating.
“There’s something like that. You’ll find out soon.”
If quitting is a secret, then it’s a secret.
I will soon find my freedom. Don’t come looking for me anymore.
Especially you, Manager Park!
Jae In swiftly cleared her plate in the blink of an eye.
And in the process, she realized one more thing.
Resignation letters are digestible.
“You think you can’t live because of me? You’re overreacting, aren’t you?” Do Hyuk muttered while crumpling the resignation letter.
I thought he was just uncomfortable being my superior, but I never dreamed he harbored such resentment.
It bothered me that I couldn’t say a word and let Jae In go.
“I’ve had a huge misunderstanding.”
Discrimination? I did discriminate against her.
In a different way.
When I assigned tasks, I realized that Na Hee’s skills were pathetic compared to Jae In. I couldn’t understand how she got promoted first.
So, I had lost interest in Na Hee a long time ago. I didn’t want to waste my energy on something unnecessary.
Instead, I thought of recommending Jae In, who easily conquered the hard training, to an overseas branch.
But I changed my mind when I found out she was preparing to study abroad.
“I clearly mentioned it during the meeting while looking at Manager Kang, why did she think it was about her?”
On the day I was late, there was a bus accident during the heavy rain, and without realizing it, I blurted out in concern for Jae In, who didn’t even take care of herself despite the accident.
Phew. Do Hyuk let out a sigh that was more of a sigh of relief.
It was clear that the sudden decision to quit was because of what happened yesterday.
“I said some harsh things. If it weren’t for that incident…”
Two days ago, as I finished working overtime and stepped out, it was pouring rain.
At that moment, Do Hyuk offered Jae In a ride home, thinking it was a good opportunity.
“Oh, no! It’s too far, and I can take the bus.”
“Then I’ll drive you to the bus stop.”
“I really enjoy getting wet in the rain! It’s okay!”
While waving her hand to decline, Jae In hopped into the car when the team leader, Na Min Woo, offered her a ride.
Yeah, and seeing her sitting in the cafe, laughing with Min Woo, I realized that my rationality had momentarily paralyzed, leading to the outburst during the meeting.
But that didn’t mean I would quit.
If it weren’t for that incident, Do Hyuk wouldn’t have lost his composure, and Jae In wouldn’t have entered the room to submit her resignation letter and eavesdrop on Do Hyuk’s secret.
But even if he regretted it, the bus had already left, leaving him with nothing but a crisisridden project and the anxious secret of being exposed.
It was truly one hurdle after another.
There were only two months left until Do Hyuk’s fate would be decided at the shareholders’ meeting.
The sudden resignation of Manager Ko was already bewildering, and if Jae In were gone too, the diet new product project could be jeopardized.
Moreover, now that Jae In knew the secret, he had to do whatever it took to keep her by his side, even if he had to set aside personal feelings.
“How can I change her mind?”
The idea of using persuasion after hinting at being a spy failed miserably.
“Damn it. I just don’t know.”
Do Hyuk opened the desk drawer and took out a pale pink envelope.
He looked at what was inside the envelope for a moment and then dropped it on the desk as it was.
It was a ticket for the famous rock band “BOC” concert happening that Saturday.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
