As a sound calling me came from Jae In’s sleeping lips, Do Hyuk’s breath caught in his throat.
“Could it be that she’s dreaming of me?”
Then, a drowsy voice tickled his ear.
“Team leader, the promise… you must… keep it.”
Her appearance was so lovely that a smile naturally formed on his face.
Do Hyuk gently brushed away the hair covering Jae In’s eyes with delicate fingers and whispered softly.
“Well, I’m not sure if I can keep the promise either.”
The next morning, when Jae In entered the office, Yeon Ji widened her eyes and asked.
“Team leader, are you okay?”
“Why?”
“You look really tired. Did you not sleep well last night?”
“I went to bed a little late… Does it show?”
“Yes.”
Yeon Ji nodded sympathetically, her expression full of concern.
And rightly so, Jae In’s eyes were bloodshot, and dark circles extended down to her chin.
“Suddenly taking a day off, seems like something happened?”
Jae In replied with a bitter smile.
“Yeah, there were some things going on.”
There were indeed a lot of “things” going on.
Last night, she ended up working until 2:30 a.m.
Although Do Hyuk told her to go in first, seeing the remaining workload, she couldn’t bring herself to leave and ended up staying up all night.
Could it be a sense of camaraderie where you can’t abandon a wounded comrade on the battlefield?
She regretted it, realizing she succumbed to sleepiness within 30 minutes.
But there was still one fortunate thing.
Being too occupied with work, she didn’t feel uncomfortable being alone with a man in an unfamiliar house.
Even if she rolled around restlessly inside the house after work, it was a situation where doing work was a better option.
Still, since it will be over in two months, I can endure it.
Yes, let’s consider the team leader’s house as the office.
Just think of going to work immediately after leaving work, well…
Like a Möbius strip, the repetitive commute…
Ah, I’m already getting tired.
Sigh. Suddenly, Jae In was overwhelmed by drowsiness and let out a big yawn.
When her eyelids began to droop, Yeon Ji handed her the coffee I was about to drink.
“Team leader, have this and cheer up.”
“Thank you, Yeon Ji.”
“You finally took a vacation, but you can’t even rest properly.”
That’s right. I have no luck.
Jae In took a sip of coffee to drive away the drowsiness.
At that moment, just when she was about to take a break, Manager Park, who always interfered at the wrong time, suddenly chimed in.
“Team leader Seo, tell me honestly. Do you have a second job after work?”
Pfft!
Jae In was so startled that she almost spit out her coffee.
Well, since there’s extra pay, it’s a second job.
In the midst of nothingness, Manager Park, who occasionally pokes at the sore spot, jumped in with a pointed question.
“No! Having a second job is ridiculous. I just have some things to take care of at home.”
When Jae In jumped up, Manager Park sarcastically muttered while sipping his mixed coffee.
“Geez, it was just a joke. Why are you taking it so seriously? Like someone who feels guilty.”
“WhWho feels guilty?”
“But today, it’s unusual for the team leader to be late. You’re usually the first one to arrive.”
“Oh, um, there was a sudden budget meeting, so she went straight there.”
As Jae In casually answered,
All eyes turned to her from her teammates.
Oh no! I made a mistake.
“How did Team Leader Seo know that? Even I, who came earlier than Team Leader Seo, haven’t received any contact yet.”
On a day like today, Manager Park, who arrived earlier than Jae In by a narrow margin, opened his eyes wide and asked.
Jae In sweated profusely while searching for a plausible excuse.
“WWell… The thing is… When I was going to work, the team leader instructed me over the phone to relay the message to Manager Park like that.”
“The team leader? Why didn’t they tell me directly? That’s strange.”
That’s right.
Even I find it strange.
At that moment, when Jae In, tonguetied, needed to give some response, Manager Park’s direct line phone rang loudly, as if replacing her.
“Yes, yes, I understand. Don’t worry.”
After hanging up the phone, Manager Park looked at Jae In with a bewildered expression.
“The team leader said they have an urgent budget meeting, so we should have the morning meeting among ourselves. They apologize for not telling us in advance.”
The timing is really something, incredible.
A cool sweat ran down Jae In’s forehead.
“You forgot to relay the message? Even our meticulous team leader has their flaws.”
“If they were too perfect, they wouldn’t have any human touch. Manager, shall we go to the meeting now?”
“Oh, yes, let’s do that. Everyone, let’s go to the conference room.”
Upon Manager Park’s words, everyone rose from their seats.
“It seems like everything went smoothly, right?”
Jae In secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, unexpectedly.
Just when she thought it was finally over, Na Hee, wideeyed, grabbed her ankle.
“But, Team Leader Seo, are you having personal contact with the team leader?”
Sigh, Jae In took another breath.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
