Do Hyuk, who she thought had left, was standing in front of the door, glaring at her with eyes that could devour her.
“What are you doing right now?”
Well, of course. No wonder God was so cooperative.
I’m dead.
…
…
…
The team leader’s office was filled with silence.
Jae In stood next to Do Hyuk, bowing her head like a guilty person.
Finally, Do Hyuk tapped the armrest and spoke.
“Well, explain.”
“What, what?”
“Right now, in my empty room, and even coming out from under the desk, there must be a reason for that, right?”
“Well, you see… It’s just that… I found the team leader’s fountain pen on the floor and picked it up. But I missed the timing to leave because I was startled when the team leader suddenly came in.”
“Is that supposed to be a reason?”
“It’s true! Please believe me!”
“I can’t believe it.”
Yeah, even I can’t believe it obediently.
Cold sweat dripped down Jae In’s spine.
“Why did you enter my room in the first place?”
“I wanted to give something to the team leader…”
“What is it?”
“A… resignation letter.”
Jae In quickly took out the resignation letter that was placed under the documents and placed it on top. Deep wrinkles appeared on Do Hyuk’s forehead as he unfolded the resignation letter.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Well… I have unavoidable circumstances.”
Seo Jae In, why?
Weren’t you planning to throw the resignation letter in Cha Do Hyuk’s face, telling him not to live like that?
Jae In’s helpless state, unable to move in front of Do Hyuk as usual, made her feel miserable.
“That’s difficult… It’s not possible.”
“What?”
No, even though you’ve always been displeased with it, why are you holding me back when I actually want to give up?
Jae In looked bewildered.
Do Hyuk, with a complex expression that she couldn’t understand, was staring at her.
“The success or failure of the project assigned to Team Leader Jae is crucial to the company’s fate. It must succeed. Isn’t it irresponsible to give up in this situation?”
“Project that determines the fate of the company? It’s an exaggeration.
Whether the team leader’s words are true or not, I’ve seen enough to know that the company can run fine even without one or two parts.
“I apologize for that. However, with Director Ko, the project leader, there shouldn’t be any issues with the progress. I’ll ensure a smooth transition as well.”
Jae In had been preparing for the moment she could leave the company at any time.
“Director Ko, I quit today.”
“What did you say?”
Jae In’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. Director Ko, who always dedicated himself to work, suddenly quit?
“I received a call this morning and expressed my intention to resign. It seems like he wants to start a new life in England.”
“England? What about the project?”
“He said that Assistant Seo understands all the tasks well and it should be fine. He asked me to pass on his trust.”
Goodness! I trusted Director Ko, but he pulled a fast one on me. I’ve been hit in the back of the head properly.
After spending days like a lifeless corpse, without a boyfriend, in the end, she couldn’t bear it and left together. It seems that even rational people like Director Ko have blind spots when it comes to love.
It was a shocking incident, but even this couldn’t break Jae In’s determination to resign.
“We also have Assistant Kang besides me.”
“Do you think Assistant Kang can handle such a difficult task alone?”
“….”
No, it’s better if he doesn’t get involved in this mess.
By the way, why is he holding onto Assistant Kang, worrying that he might have a hard time?
It’s none of my business. Please enjoy your loveydovey relationship with your favorite Assistant Kang, Mr. Cha Do Hyuk!
“No matter what the team leader says, my decision remains unchanged. I will resign.”
“If I refuse to accept your resignation until the end?”
“I should report to the department head.”
Jae In, who had already declared her resignation, was nonchalant.
While his mind was in turmoil, Do Hyuk rested his elbows on the desk and pressed his temples, lost in thought.
Even in the midst of that, Jae In couldn’t help but be drawn to his appearance, as if she was looking at a magazine photoshoot.
“Seo Jae In, you’re gradually going crazy. You have the leisure to exercise unnecessary observation skills. Anyway, you’re excessively goodlooking.”
“Team leader, if you have nothing more to say, I’ll take my leave now. Then.”
Jae In was about to bow and turn away when Do Hyuk grabbed her.
“Assistant Seo, what’s your real intention for coming into my office?”
“What? I told you I came to submit my resignation letter.”
“Do you expect me to believe that right now?”
His words suddenly became shorter. Intimidatingly so.
Do Hyuk’s subdued voice sent a chill down Jae In’s spine.
“II really mean it.”
“Hold on, I asked the wrong question. Let me ask again. Who told you to do this?”
“….Told me? Who?”
“There must be someone who sent you to spy on me.”
“NNo, it’s not like that. I swear!”
“A spy wouldn’t readily confess.”
Wait a moment.
So, am I being misunderstood as a spy right now? Why did the conversation take such a turn?
“No, why would I spy on the team leader? I didn’t know anything. I only found out recently that the chairman is your grandfather.”
“That’s topsecret information. So, you heard it all, as expected.”
Busted.
Do Hyuk’s eyes flickered.
Oops. I should have acted like I didn’t know anything until the end.
“Well… I did hear it, but I couldn’t make out what you were saying because my ears were stuffed. Haha.”
Heh. Do Hyuk snorted.
It seems too late to try to fix things, but it doesn’t seem like he’s buying any of it.
“You already figured it out?”
“What, what do you mean?”
“That I’m Chairman Cha’s nephew.”
As expected, that’s what it was. I wasn’t curious at all.
“No, I mean, after sneaking into my room without fear, it’s only natural that you knew that much, right? Even the fact that Chairman Cha is pulling the strings from behind.”
This person is unbelievable!
“Team leader, you keep accusing me of being a spy, but I’m really not!”
“Enough. Who sent you? Vice President Choi? Chairman Cha? Or someone else?”
“Nobody sent me!”
“Someone who knows that their recognition as the successor depends on the success of this project. So, did they try to sabotage the project in advance?”
“That’s ridiculous. I really didn’t know anything! So, the fate of the company was at stake…”
“I heard it all, so stop pretending you don’t know.”
It might be better to talk to the wall instead. Jae In was at a loss as to how to break down this wall.
“Since when have you been watching me?”
“I told you, I really don’t care about you, Team Leader, not even a bit!”
Jae In couldn’t hold back and let out a loud cry without even realizing it.
In an instant, Do Hyuk’s brows furrowed. He clenched his teeth and glared at Jae In as if he was about to devour her.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just so frustrated, so…”
Heh. Do Hyuk raised the corner of his mouth and laughed.
Why is even his smile so terrifying?
“Fine. Then prove that you’re not a spy.”
Do Hyuk’s chilly voice continued.
“With your body.”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
