“Manager Ji Yeon, you catch on to the work so quickly! Anyone would think you’ve been working here for over a year.”
That was a common statement from her colleagues whenever they had team meetings.
“Everyone in the team has been helping me out, so that’s why I’ve been able to learn the work quickly. I’m very grateful to all of you.”
“Do you lack anything, Manager? You’re pretty, you work well, and even this humility! If I had a brother, I’d set you two up.”
Joo Yeon, a deputy in the same team, continued to compliment Ji Yeon.
Ji Yeon didn’t need to lie, but since no one had asked, she didn’t explicitly reveal the fact that she was married.
“By the way, it’s been a while since Manager Ji Yeon joined us, we should have a welcome party.”
When all the team members looked at the chief, he immediately responded as if he had been waiting for it.
“I was about to do that soon. Our head manager, who has been on a long business trip, will return to the Korean office the day after tomorrow, so let’s have it then. I’ll tell the head manager in advance.”
“Oh, the head manager? Is he moving back to Korea for good?”
“Yes, once he comes this time, he plans to focus on the Korean business division for a while.”
“That’s both good and scary.”
The entire team was stirred up by the news of the head manager’s return to Korea.
“Deputy, why is it that everyone thinks it’s good but also scary about the head manager?”
“The head manager has outstanding leadership, so everyone likes him, but the problem is, he’s famous for being a workaholic. Because he works so hard, naturally, the team’s work also increases. Although it’s all necessary work. So everyone is glad that the head manager is coming back, but they’re a bit unhappy about the increase in work.”
“He must be very competent.”
“Right, he’s a really competent person. Plus, how handsome he is. Even the currently popular celebrities have nothing on him. But aside from his looks, he’s such an amazing leader that there are many fans of both genders in the company and many people admire him.”
Listening to people’s hopeful voices like this, Ji Yeon felt an inexplicable expectation, as it seemed like she could have more fun at work.
Just as the meeting ended and everyone was returning to their seats, Ji Yeon received a call.
“Hello, ma’am! This is Nemo Real Estate. The property we talked about last time is now available. When can you visit?”
“Oh my! Really? I can make it after work, by 6:30.”
Ji Yeon, who had the opportunity to see the house in person, was completely captivated by the house, which was even more beautiful than in the photos.
Through the large window, which would undoubtedly look even more beautiful in the full daylight, the beautiful landscape in front of the house was visible.
“Especially, there are only two houses that can move into this building, so it’s very quiet. The first floor is a residents’ cafeteria, and the second floor is a private gym that only residents of this building can use. And the third floor and the fourth floor above are the only residences. The parking lot is on the basement second floor.”
Listening to the endless praise for this house, Ji Yeon, who was already half convinced, was definitely set on signing a contract.
“I’ll sign the contract. I’ll put down a deposit first, so please prepare the related contract. I’m going to look around a little more.”
When the realtor left the room, Ji Yeon looked around the house in more detail, and then stood in front of the elevator to go to the basement parking lot.
“Should I walk?”
But just then, the elevator doors opened.
Inside, there was already a very tall man who was looking at his phone with his hood on, so his face was not visible.
‘Must be the person living upstairs. I should greet them when I move in. It would be nice if they’re a good person.’
The person who would become her neighbor seemed to have just taken a shower, as the elevator was filled with a refreshing scent of soap.
It was while Ji Yeon was having these thoughts.
Suddenly, there was a strong feeling of the elevator falling downwards, and soon it stopped with a thud.
Then, the light in the elevator began to flicker and soon went out.
“Oh, my!”
Startled, Ji Yeon fell down.
“Are you okay?”
The man next to her asked calmly, but Ji Yeon was too shaken to answer.
It was the elevator she had taken quite a while to get back on after being trapped in an accident when she was 7.
Whether her body was remembering that time she thought she had forgotten, or it was due to the sudden shock, she began to tremble uncontrollably.
‘I should have walked.’
“It’s going to be okay, just a moment.”
The man, trying to calm Ji Yeon down, spoke calmly, then pressed the call button inside the elevator and explained the situation to the security room.
While the man was talking with the security team, Ji Yeon was too flustered to hear anything.
‘I’m scared… What if we fall?’
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.
