After hesitating several times whether to speak or not, the answer she finally gave plunged Seungwon into even greater despair.
“I won’t give up on this child.”
“…You’re going to give birth?”
“Then should I kill a life? Your life?”
Seungwon barely held back the urge to leave the room immediately.
“Let’s go to the hospital. Let’s get a check-up first and talk about it.”
“I was shocked and went to the hospital already. I’m already 15 weeks pregnant. The baby will start showing soon. What am I going to do? Ugh…”
Dahee crumpled up the medical confirmation paper and threw it at Seungwon’s face.
“Sorry, Dahee. I’m really sorry.”
Trying to comfort her sobbing, Seungwon couldn’t even look closely.
A medical certificate was written, saying, ‘Obstetrics and gynecology regular check-up.’
[Star icon]After Dahee’s revenge, the baby and the twins crossed the rainbow bridge, and it was hard for Hyewon to see Dahee’s face.
She hoped Dahee would quit the company herself, but she heard that Dahee refused the company’s recommendation for resignation when she heard from Juwon.
‘As much as I want to grab her by the hair and force her to quit, I can’t do that in the yard where she’s the CEO’s girlfriend.’
Seeing Dahee going to work in perfect condition, Hyewon’s anger grew even stronger.
‘Are you going to endure this to the end? If you endure it, I’ll shake you.’
Hyewon’s declaration of darkening was not an empty threat.
Having endured and refrained from becoming the same person, she couldn’t stand watching clueless new employees gently coax her and go out to eat.
I wonder what nonsense she’ll blabber while eating.
Although she humiliated herself at the company dinner party, it was still a business team dinner party. Unless you saw and heard it yourself, you didn’t know if Dahee’s three-inch tongue would play again.
Hyewon, who judged that the solution was to quickly drive Dahee out of the company, began to keep an eye on her since then.
She knew from the beginning that Dahee wasn’t helpful to the company even as much as a speck of dust. However, to officially and legally drive her out of the company, evidence was needed.
Fortunately, the evidence was easy to find.
“What’s this? Interview materials from Siberia?”
At the time when everyone went out for lunch, Hyewon’s gaze caught sight of a stack of documents spread out like a snake on Dahee’s desk.
Most of the documents that had been stuck to her desk when Hyewon poured water on her were wet.
Dahee mumbled and spread the wet documents on the empty space behind her seat, and among them was one that Hyewon found.
“Did she try to change jobs? Siberia is a complete competitor, isn’t it? Did she fail to change jobs since she didn’t? ”
While muttering, looking at the documents, somehow a familiar content caught Hyewon’s eyes.
[Expected Question 1. If you have had a successful experience in a business conducted while working at your previous company, please tell us about it.]
What’s this? This is my idea!
Hyewon felt a volcano erupting in her head.
So far, Dahee following what she did was not once or twice, but she let it go because they were friends. But now, she wasn’t even a friend.
“Did she really try this idea?”
With the documents in hand, Hyewon immediately went to Juwon.
At the mention that Dahee might have stolen Hyewon’s idea during the interview, Juwon’s pupils narrowed.
Unlike the excited Hyewon, he seemed like a sunken lake. After silently tapping the table with his fingers, he finally spoke.
“This is good.”
To Hyewon’s surprise, his unexpected reaction made her eyes widen.
“Is it good? She might have talked about my idea during the interview. What’s good about that?”
“If Cheon Dahee really used your idea during the interview, it would be considered a significant act causing a serious loss to the company. I dug my own grave.”
Ah…! Seeing Juwon’s ingenious insight into the two options, Hyeju exclaimed in admiration.
Some were just running around in circles after having their idea stolen, while others were plotting to make use of that fact. It turns out he’s not just a representative.
“Is there a way to confirm if she really talked about this during the interview? It would be good if there’s someone on that side who knows.”
“I know someone.”
“Oh, really? Who?”
“The Siberia representative.”
“Wow…”
“We were classmates during MBA.”
“Indeed, well-connected men are different. It’s not an exaggeration that everything about a competent man is useful!”
Hyeju tapped her thumb against his index finger in approval.
“Make the call right now. Looking at the documents, it seems like an executive interview, so if she’s the representative, she might have been involved in executive interviews as well.”
“I’ll do it later.”
“Why later? Do it now, quickly!”
Juwon frowned at Hyeju’s urging. Due to being intoxicated with compliments, he couldn’t bring himself to say that his relationship with the representative on that side wasn’t good.
This was because, after meeting during a group assignment and having a flirtatious relationship for about a week, Juwon unilaterally cut off contact, leading her to badmouth him behind his back for the rest of the semester.
“What are you waiting for? Call right now.”
Even if he didn’t want to, there was no way to refuse Hyeju’s command.
Juwon reluctantly dialed the Siberia representative’s number.
[Dash] What’s up?
Upon hearing the cold voice from the other end of the receiver, Juwon felt a sense of impending doom.
…Jeez. What’s with picking up so bluntly.
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.
