“Is everything going smoothly with the work?” Do Hyuk’s voice sounded serious, as if he was speaking with someone important.
“We need to pay special attention to security. If we leak anything before the shareholders’ meeting, it’ll be disastrous.”
“Shareholders’ meeting? Disastrous?” Jae In felt a sense of unease and instinctively held her breath.
“Whatever it takes, we have to stop Representative Cha. The Chairman must never find out. You know his personality. He might collapse if he finds out. He’s so delicate.”
“What did you just say? The Chairman is your team leader’s grandfather?” Startled, Jae In pressed her lips tightly, afraid that her voice might slip out.
“If Representative Cha is the Chairman’s son, then your team leader is the Chairman’s nephew?”
Now that she thought about it, Representative Cha Jung Hwan and Do Hyuk shared the same surname, and they had a striking resemblance in physique and facial features.
“Unbelievable! Your team leader is part of the Daesan Group’s family?” So that’s why he had no fear.
She remembered how Do Hyuk fearlessly criticized Director Kim during the last meeting. It turned out that he had a soft spot for his son. Director Kim, who couldn’t even utter a word and only sweat profusely, looked so pitiful.
“Representative Cha is secretly trying to sell off Daesan F&G at a low price through private equity funds and mergers. We need to prove it… Is there any good way? Please find out. That’s it.”
Hmm. With a brief sigh, the voice abruptly cut off.
Jae In’s eyes narrowed into fists as she crouched under the desk.
“What is this all about? Daesan F&G might be merged or acquired?” She didn’t know the details, but she was aware that mergers and acquisitions often led to major layoffs.
“Oh my goodness! If that’s true, it’s a big problem.”
I unexpectedly learned a shocking fact.
Just unnecessary TMI as I was about to resign.
Knock, knock.
I heard a knocking sound on the team leader’s office door.
“Come in.”
“Team leader, do you have a moment?”
“What’s the matter?”
“You asked me to rewrite it again yesterday…”
It was Manager Park’s voice.
“Let’s do it in the afternoon. I’m busy now, so don’t disturb me.”
Perhaps due to the previous phone call, the voice, which was already cold, felt even icier.
Thump, thump.
Do Hyuk walked a few big steps and handed over some documents without sitting down. Jae In let out a silent scream as she looked at his outstretched legs.
If she stayed like this and Do Hyuk tried to sit down, it would be obvious that she had overheard and would lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
She should have stood up right away when Do Hyuk came in, but she missed the timing and made the situation worse.
“Oh, God, can’t you help me just this once? I’ve been living a good life so far, and I’ll live even better in the future. Please, please help me!”
Knock, knock.
Just as if in response to Jae In’s desperate prayer, someone knocked on the team leader’s office door.
“What now?”
Do Hyuk’s voice was mixed with irritation.
“The director wants to discuss the launch of a new product with you. He wants to meet you now.”
This time it was Yeon Ji.
Finally! Jae In tightly clenched her fists at the miraculous timing.
“Oh, God, thank you! Even if he’s the mighty Cha Do Hyuk, if it’s the director calling, he’ll rush out, right?”
“I got it. Let’s go now.”
I’m alive!
I never thought I would owe so much to our director.
I should have known, I should have shaken the tambourine more vigorously when singing old pop songs at the karaoke.
After a moment, I heard the click of the door closing, and the surroundings became quiet. Only then could Jae In manage to raise her hunched body.
But, oh no.
Perhaps due to crouching for too long, her legs felt numb, and her balance was lost.
Thud!
“Ouch!”
Jae In wrapped her hands around her head and sat down on the floor. The pain from hitting her forehead on the edge of the desk was not only sharp but also unbearable.
“Today is really unlucky. Ah, this is not the right time. I have to leave quickly!”
Just as Jae In was about to endure the pain and stand up, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being forcefully opened.
It was undoubtedly Do Hyuk who had returned.
Jae In quickly covered her mouth and hid under the desk.
Thump, thump. Do Hyuk approached the desk as if searching for something, rummaging through the documents.
“Could it be that he’s looking for a fountain pen?”
This little troublemaker is causing so much trouble.
Jae In’s hand holding the fountain pen was sweating profusely. The makeshift lump of ink was on the verge of disappearing altogether.
Fortunately, it seemed like Do Hyuk quickly gave up. The sound of footsteps receded, and then the door closed.
Phew. A relieved sigh escaped.
It felt like her lifespan had decreased by a year. She sat there for a moment, catching her breath.
Finally, she cautiously lifted her head and peeked beyond the desk.
“Scream!”
She screamed as if she had seen a ghost.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
