Constrained to Start (8 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71

The feeling after taking digestive medicine, pricking your fingers, pounding your frustrated chest in vain—and then, finally, your stomach clearing up completely. That’s exactly how Ra Jin felt as she looked at her manager now—refreshed and relieved.

To think she’d been swayed all this time by this perfect stranger, someone utterly insignificant. The more she thought about it, the more absurd and unbelievable it seemed.

‘Why did I ever do that?’

In that instant, it was as if a veil had lifted from Ra Jin’s eyes, and everything suddenly became crystal clear. She finally understood the fundamental truth: it was she herself who had given leeway to the person who’d crossed the line. If she hadn’t silently agreed, none of this might have happened in the first place. And only now was she realizing that essential, critical fact.

“Mr. Tae Hyung Shik, you’re fired as my manager.”

“What?”

“Don’t go around using my name anymore. I’ll send a mass text to everyone involved to let them know.”

With those words, Ra Jin turned away without a shred of hesitation. Tae Hyung Shik, clearly rattled, stood rooted to the spot.
