September 1st.
Finally, the day Hyewon had been eagerly waiting for arrived.
Today was the day of the [Great Award], where the outstanding employees of the first half of the year would be commended.
Since it was an award ceremony that occurred only twice a year, dividing into the first and second halves, and it was the most important award at DataS Korea, all employees were focused on this occasion.
With hundreds of employees present, the excitement built up in Hyewon’s chest as she anticipated receiving the award.
Hyewon woke up early in the morning, took a devout shower, and dressed in appropriate attire.
Originally, she didn’t have clothes to wear on such occasions and would change in and out multiple times, but today, that was unnecessary.
It was because Juwon had secretly given her a gift of clothes a while ago.
“As it’s a special day, isn’t it better to dress modestly? If the skirt is too short, it might be visible under the podium, so it should come down to the knees.”
Humming a tune, Hyewon chose her outfit.
It was a well-fitted luxury suit in navy color from top to bottom.
To avoid being too plain, she paired it with a chiffon blouse, creating a clean yet sophisticated look.
“Looks good.”
Satisfied with her appearance reflected in the mirror, Hyewon raised the corners of her mouth.
The award ceremony took place at the Grand Ballroom of a hotel near the company. The schedule included the award ceremony in the afternoon, enjoying a prepared dinner, and then leaving work immediately.
The atmosphere in the business team was lively from the morning because it was perfect for dating with the bonus of having a meal at a hotel after a long time.
Except for Team Leader Wook.
She felt extremely unpleasant when Hyewon won the award instead of the Ruby she recommended.
If it had been rejected simply, she could have accepted it, but in the process, she had clashed fiercely with Juwon.
Staring at the well-dressed Hyewon, Team Leader Wook inwardly suppressed his frustration.
‘I can’t stand it. How can that little fox who succeeded just by hooking up with a man be so irritating!’
Although he was full of complaints, what could he do except express them.
Throughout the day, Team Leader Wook continuously irritated Hyewon, making her uncomfortable.
Amid the chaotic atmosphere, the time finally came for the award ceremony.
With over a hundred people gathered, the award ceremony was more splendid than usual.
The Grand Ballroom was packed with chairs, dazzling banners hanging high, and even a red carpet laid out on the high podium.
Employees, who were puzzled by the scale that surpassed even entertainment awards, opened their eyes wide, wondering what was going on.
“It seems our company’s sales have risen this year. Looking at how much money was spent on this employee award ceremony!”
Employees were dumbfounded at the extravagant award ceremony that would never have happened if Oh Hyewon’s name hadn’t been on the list of winners.
As the clock struck 4, the award ceremony finally began.
“Hello, DataS Korea employees! How are you? I am the head of the publicity team, Woogyubeom, in charge of today’s award ceremony. Today, we are here for the ‘Great Award’ ceremony, where we will commend and present certificates to the employees who have achieved the best results in the first half of the year at DataS Korea. It’s a significant event as the winners receive incentives equivalent to 300% of their basic salary and a bonus vacation. The award ceremony is the face of DataS Korea! It will be hosted by Representative Kang Juwon. Please welcome him with a big round of applause!”
Wow! Thunderous applause erupted.
After a while, Juwon revealed himself from behind the curtains.
Dressed in a perfectly fitting double-breasted suit, he swept his hair back, exuding a striking presence like the protagonist of the award ceremony.
Capturing everyone’s attention as if spellbound, people clapped like seals, and in the midst of that, he began to speak.
“Hello, I am Kang Juwon.”
Some employees couldn’t help but sigh at his resonant voice.
“His voice is amazing….”
Someone who was chewing snacks even stopped, and absentmindedly, attention was drawn away.
The air in the hall flowed around him, and his distinctive presence didn’t fade even when surrounded by numerous people.
“Now, I will announce the winners of the Great Award for the first half of the year. Based on the recommendations from each team, a total of three winners have been selected. Let me announce the winners.”
The winners from the development team and marketing team were called first.
Watching them receive commendations from Juwon, Hyewon’s heart pounded more and more.
‘I’m so nervous, what should I do!’
Receiving an award in front of so many people was like having her head shaved for the first time. Thinking that the gaze of so many people was focused on her, her legs trembled.
“Now, I will announce the last winner.”
Finally, the time had come.
Hyewon took a deep breath at the front row and clenched her fist.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
