Heewook was impatiently flipping through work documents. Frustrated because of his mother, stressed due to Choi Hyeonji, and infuriated by Han Soeun causing a commotion. Why do these annoying things keep coming up? Heewook found among the documents the case that seemed most lucrative.
Suing an influencer for defamation of character. If she changes her statement to include sexual harassment, the value could go up a bit. As always, he thought about manipulating evidence.
While going through the materials, Heewook heard the voices of lawyers through the slightly open door.
“By the way, I briefly overheard earlier. It seems our company is discussing a merger with another law firm.”
“Oh, really? Which law firm?”
“I don’t know, some global law firm? So, if we reject, it’s a loss.”
“Oh, does that mean we’re becoming global too?”
Heewook rushed out upon hearing this conversation.
“Is that story true?”
One of the lawyers who was conversing overheard and echoed what he had heard.
“Maybe? It seems there will be more work related to overseas subsidiaries of large companies. It looks like the discussion is proceeding quickly for both our company and theirs. They said if all goes well, they’ll send out the merger agreement by the end of this week.”
Heewook swallowed hard. A global law firm merger. It was excellent news to establish ties with large corporations. Moreover, if he acted sensitively during the merger agreement, he might be able to raise his salary. It was like a godsend in his current situation.
Another layer of excitement settled on Heewook’s smile. Just as the conversation ended, his phone rang, and the caller was none other than Kim Taejun.
He heard about it from Han Soeun.
Imagining the scene where Han Soeun and Kim Taejun were together, his teeth clenched, but this contact wasn’t bad. Kim Taejun of K Group wouldn’t take Han Soeun seriously. So he would probably close his eyes to this matter for a certain amount of money. Then, Heewook would pretend to concede without winning. And he would have to tell Han Soeun that he had been silenced with money. She needed to realize the reality and understand the situation.
Back in the office, Heewook, with a calculator in his mind, received the call, not forgetting to press the record button before starting the conversation.
“Hello.”
[Attorney.]A voice more polite than usual brought a sense of delight to Heewook. This was the joy of reigning supreme as the superior.
[It’s been a while since I contacted you. This is Kim Taejun.]“Yes. I’m aware.”
Heewook responded arrogantly.
[Have you had your meal?]“Meal? What’s that.”
[…….]“Why? Why did you bother to call me personally?”
Heewook scoffed at Taejun’s pretense of politeness and asked sarcastically.
“Do you have something urgent to ask?”
[I don’t have such a thing. I was greatly disappointed when I entrusted the matter to you last time. I didn’t know you couldn’t handle it that well, so there’s nothing specific to ask for now.]
Look at this guy.
One corner of Heewook’s lip curled slightly upward. Despite feeling a somewhat uneasy vibe emanating from the darkness in his voice, Heewook pretended to be nonchalant and burst into loud laughter.
“Really amusing. Please, at least pretend you don’t know anything.”
“…….”
“It’s better for you to look good in my eyes, right? If I just slightly hint at something between Han Soeun and Director, won’t the Director fall right into the abyss?”
[I’m not in a situation where one word from the lawyer will send me to the abyss.]Oh, so this guy is not trying to persuade me but rather threatening me with this call? Fine. Go on. The call is being recorded, anyway.
Try boasting that you’re a conglomerate. Tell me, one word from you, and I will disappear without a trace, say it once. I’ll make sure your news will flood the news section with your article tomorrow.
[Anyway, I regret this matter.]However, Taejun did not act as Heewook had expected. Heewook’s face, which had a healthy complexion, lost its vigor at Taejun’s long speech.
[Is Miss Han Soeun the contributor to your mother’s surgery? I’m carefully examining the documents, and there are some strange signatures. Some of them don’t seem to be Miss Han Soeun’s handwriting. What happens to a lawyer’s qualification if the lawyer manipulates documents?]In response to Taejun’s lengthy words, Heewook, who had a healthy complexion, lost his vigor.
[And I heard that Attorney Yang’s father has been enthusiastically playing golf these days. It’s a strange coincidence that I occasionally hear news from that side since I invested in a golf course. Your father seems to like the caddies a lot? Unilaterally.]“…….”
[Like Attorney Yang, following around a woman who doesn’t like it, it seems.]His hands were trembling. This guy even investigated his father. To entrap him. His face, which had turned pale, rose like mercury.
[Anyway, congratulations on your marriage again. I hope everything goes well at home.]“…….”
[I’m busy, so I’ll end it here.]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.”
