That she would be happier than anyone else in the world. That she would make it that way.
Regrettably, it seemed like he believed it.
Since he could no longer taste anything, the manager put down the busy knife and fork.
He wiped his lips with a napkin and took a sip of water from the wine glass.
It was when his eyes, mixed with the air, were about to fall heavily to the floor. One familiar face recognized him and walked towards him from a distance.
“Manager Han!”
When he raised his head, the person he saw was President Cha Eun-hae. He immediately stood up and politely bowed to her from head to toe.
“What are you doing here? Alone?”
“…Yes.”
“Good. Is it okay if I sit? I came to eat alone anyway. It’s good. I didn’t want to eat alone.”
When she gestured to the staff, the head chef, who was in the kitchen, came out personally to take the order.
Wearing a black suit with a neat patterned scarf, Cha Eun-hae rested her chin and stared intently at Manager Han.
“Do you have concerns?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Is Tae-kyung bothering you?”
“I wouldn’t say that.”
“He asked for a higher salary, right? If you don’t like that, give up the position of the branch manager.”
Upon her words, Manager Han smiled for the first time since coming here.
The connection with President Cha Eun-hae has been quite long.
Manager Han, who had no parents from birth, grew up in Eunhyewon in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.
It was also because he grew up quickly compared to his peers.
Because he barely knew at the age of six that the world couldn’t be on his side no matter how much he cried and threw a tantrum.
Manager Han, who was about to face the winter vacation of the second year of middle school, had never missed the first place except for winning the second place for the first time.
He studied overnight, took care of the foster children responsibly, and never got tired of fulfilling his role.
Enduring quietly, the director of Eunhyewon introduced him to President Cha Eun-hae one day.
“I’ll sponsor you. Let’s do well from now on.”
Thanks to the connection made at that time, Manager Han was able to finish his study abroad in the United States.
The person who instructed him to help Tae-kyung was also President Cha Eun-hae. From the beginning, she asserted that Tae-kyung would become a big person responsible for a famous mountain in the distant future.
Without any doubt, she told him to help Tae-kyung’s work by saying that she had better eyes for people than anyone else.
When asked once why she liked Tae-kyung so much, she smiled and said.
“Manager Han also made a mistake on one problem and came in second in the second year of middle school. Remember?”
“Do you remember.”
“But Tae-kyung has never fallen behind. He doesn’t make mistakes like that, does he?”
“Did you simply like me because I was good at studying?”
“No. I just like tough kids like Manager Han or Tae-kyung. Such tough people, once they grab something, they don’t let go until the end. I like that about them.”
For a moment, Manager Han, lost in old thoughts, was awakened by Cha Eun-hae tapping the table.
“Are you standing in front of people and thinking about something like that?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Enough with the apology. What about the wedding tower?”
Manager Han focused his unfocused gaze back on Cha Eun-hae.
“Well…”
“It might be burdensome for Tae-kyung to take care of it all.”
Manager Han laughed inwardly. From the beginning, Cha Eun-hae wanted the wedding tower.
A few years ago, when she heard a rumor that a wedding tower was taken away by an American, she personally came to Chicago.
The face of her, who found out beyond the rumor that the actual owner of the wedding tower was Tae-kyung, who was much younger than her, couldn’t forget the expression of her shivering even now.
Feeling like he had kicked an axe he believed in, there was a moment of anger, but Cha Eun-hae was a good person.
While fully supporting Tae-kyung, he firmly believed that there would be a time to exchange that support.
Instead of hindrance and scheming against him, she seemed to be anticipating a lot of support and encouragement for him.
As she picked up the fork again, Manager Han calmly asked, “Why do you want the wedding tower so badly?”
“It’s a company my father built.”
“…….”
“You didn’t know? Well, he worked so hard, but he couldn’t even get his name on the list and just went out.”
“…….”
“Someday I will take it away. So tell Tae-kyung. Until then, take good care of it.”
“Alright.”
“Yeah.”
Manager Han held his ground until Cha Eun-hae finished her meal.
“I’ll leave first.”
“Yes. Please come in.”
“Oh, Se-jun.”
“……Yes.”
“Love. Isn’t it something special?”
“……. ”
“See you again.”
Even in the late night, Cha Eun-hae, wearing sunglasses, shook hands gracefully.
After sending her off in the car, Manager Han walked for a while in the windy street.
The flower-strewn street only had thick-colored leaves left without the fragrance.
The scratching sadness had never left his side for a moment.
Still, when he closes his eyes, he has the illusion that Jae-hee will run from somewhere and hug him.
The words Cha Eun-hae threw continued to float in his mind.
“Such tough people, once they grab something, they don’t let go until the end. I like that about them.”
Standing still in the middle of the road, he lifted the suit sleeve slightly.
Wrapped around his right wrist was a black hairband.
It was the last item left by Jae-hee, who secretly wrapped it around his wrist while he was asleep that night and left.
Manager Han held it tightly in his hand. Despite the dizzying wind, he steadfastly looked ahead and walked.
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.
