“When did you come?” Do Hyuk asked, looking down at Jae In’s empty seat.
In case Do Hyuk had seen the message Woo Jin sent, Na Hee quickly flipped her mobile phone onto the desk.
“Yes? What did he say?”
“He asked where Assistant Seo went. It seems like she has been away for a while.”
“Ah…”
Jae In again?
Na Hee couldn’t help but feel concerned about how differently Do Hyuk treated Jae In compared to others.
At first, Na Hee thought it was because Jae In had caught Do Hyuk’s attention.
But since when did she suspect that it might not be just because Jae In had become close to Do Hyuk?
“Why does she treat Jae In differently while drawing a clear line with me? What makes Jae In so special compared to me?”
In terms of looks, body, wealth, and everything else, I’m far better than her.
“Assistant Kang, did you hear what I said?”
Do Hyuk asked impatiently in an irritated voice, waiting for an answer.
Finally, Na Hee’s mind snapped back.
“Oh, Assistant Seo went out with Team Leader Na for a cup of tea.”
“Na Min Woo, the team leader?”
As Do Hyuk’s eyebrows furrowed, showing his dissatisfaction, Na Hee’s eyes sparkled.
“He must be unhappy about not going out and having fun while working, right?”
It was a perfect opportunity for Na Hee to make Jae In, who had been a thorn in her side, uncomfortable.
“Yes, when Team Leader Na suggested having a drink, she got excited and went. I asked her if she would finish the materials that Team Leader assigned, but she didn’t even listen to me.”
“I see…”
“They looked very affectionate. Oh, they just said they are close senior and junior, but could it be that Assistant Seo is backstabbing her?”
Na Hee subtly connected Jae In and Min Woo in her remarks.
“Assistant Kang…”
“Yes, Team Leader?”
Looking at Na Hee, who was beaming with excitement, Do Hyuk spoke coldly.
“Please refrain from spreading such misunderstandings when there is no evidence. Will Assistant Kang take responsibility if it’s not true?”
“No, that’s not what I meant…”
While Na Hee was taken aback and hesitating, Do Hyuk abruptly left.
“Ah, what is this! Just because of Seo Jae In, I heard unpleasant things for no reason.”
Na Hee pouted and glanced at Jae In’s empty seat for no reason.
Then she realized that something was amiss.
“No, he only looks for Seo Jae In without saying a word about me, who has been working overtime for days?”
A few days ago, she had firmly denied that the team leader and Jae In went to the movies together, but the uneasiness still lingered.
“It was suspicious when the team leader laughed when I said that Jae In had a date with another man. When I asked who he watched the movie with, he cut me off, saying it was his private life.”
The elegant back view of the man who was with Jae In at the movie theater came to mind.
The long coat he was wearing was charcoal gray.
Today, Do Hyuk was wearing a dark brown long coat, but he had also worn a charcoal gray coat before.
“It’s not like there’s only one charcoal gray coat in the world. It’s just a needless misunderstanding, right?”
It must be.
Na Hee couldn’t put her mind at ease until she confirmed who this person named Jo Hyun Joon, whom Jae In had met, was.
“But if it wasn’t with Seo Jae In, then who did the team leader watch the movie with? Does he really have a hidden lover?”
Driven by an unbearable curiosity, Na Hee’s inner thoughts burst out.
At that moment,
Ding! Another message rang on her mobile phone.
“Na Hee, I checked, but there’s no response. Are you free this Saturday evening?”
“It hasn’t been that long since I sent it. Oh, bother!”
Na Hee impatiently pressed the keyboard and sent a reply.
“Oh, U Jin, I’m sorry. I was busy with work. Saturday works for me too. ^^”
“That’s great! Thank you, Na Hee.”
The more U Jin pushed his way in, the more regretful Do Hyuk became for Na Hee.
“Should I boldly approach the team leader tonight?”
Na Hee sat up straight in her seat, accentuating her slender Sshaped figure, which she considered her most attractive feature.
With her glamorous appearance and voluptuous body, she had never failed to tempt any man.
As Na Hee’s confidence grew, she suddenly remembered Do Hyuk’s face, which had been chilled by the cold wind earlier.
“No, if I get rejected, it’ll be embarrassing. I need a natural way to approach him…”
While Na Hee indulged in her personal desires under the pretext of working overtime, time was racing towards 8 o’clock.
The firstfloor cafe was quiet after working hours.
Min Woo not only brought warm tea but also bought sandwiches for Jae In, who declined his offer, saying she was okay.
“I bet the team leader is hungry too… I hope he’s not waiting for me to have dinner.”
Despite eating the sandwich due to her appointment with Do Hyuk, Jae In couldn’t fully relax.
“Jae In, everything’s been fine lately, right?”
“Yes. By the way, is the proposal preparation going well?”
Jae In had been bothered by her inability to help properly due to being absentminded.
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…?
