Eun Ji Yeon was in high spirits upon receiving the joyful news.
“Wow! We finally got a response.”
Ji Yeon, who had exclaimed loudly while reading the email, caught the curious gaze of Deputy Jo Yu Ri sitting next to her.
“Manager, do you have some good news? What is it?”
“Deputy Jo, we finally got feedback from Author SOO’s agency. They want to proceed with the contract as we proposed. And…”
Ji Yeon’s eyes widened as she read further into the email.
“SOO is currently in Korea and would like to meet with our planning team this week if possible. They want to discuss additional proposals during the meeting…”
“Wow!”
“To think we could meet a famous author so quickly and efficiently! It looks like this project is going to be a success, Deputy.”
“Exactly, Manager. You know when things are meant to happen, they just flow smoothly. Our product will be a hit, and so will the advertising. I’m so excited, excited, excited!”
Deputy Jo Yu Ri shared in Ji Yeon’s excitement, adding to the cheerful atmosphere.
Despite the frequent overtime and overflowing work, this was why they worked – for moments like these.
People who laugh and cry with you through each step of progress.
Ji Yeon felt so fortunate to have started working again.
[What’s got you so happy? You look cute.]Opening the flashing messenger on her screen, it was a message from Lee Kang Hyun.
‘Heh, cute…’
Just one message was enough to make her face flush with the affection she felt from Kang Hyun.
She peered around the office, but Kang Hyun was nowhere to be seen.
[Director Lee, did you pass by here?]
“Manager, how about a cup of coffee?”
[I’ll go have a coffee with Deputy Jo and see you later.] [Okay.]Deputy Jo suggested a coffee with a bright smile, so Ji Yeon quickly typed a message and got up from her seat.
A message she hadn’t seen flashed on her computer monitor.
The two headed to the coffee shop inside the company building.
Ji Yeon ordered an iced americano, gulped it down, and as soon as they sat down, Deputy Jo looked at her with a gleeful smile.
“Manager, you’ve got a boyfriend recently, right?”
“Pfft—”
Ji Yeon almost spit out her coffee in surprise at Deputy Jo’s whispering question as if asking for a secret.
“If you’re uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer.”
Ji Yeon looked anxiously at Deputy Jo.
Taking another sip of her americano, Deputy Jo continued.
“Manager, at some point, you started smiling beautifully and contentedly, even during these brutal overtime weeks. It just felt like… you got a boyfriend.”
Deputy Jo was grinning confidently, as if sure of her suspicion.
“Um… Did it look that way?”
Eun Ji Yeon did not confirm or deny it.
“I’m a proponent of love. It’s not necessary for everyone, but if you’re in love, it’s wonderful. If you happen to be dating, I’ll support you all the way. Pass some work to me, go on dates more often, and leave work early. Our team is busy, but especially you, Manager, you have so much work. Early stages of a relationship are so precious.”
“Thank you for the thought, Deputy Jo Yu Ri.”
“Let me know whenever you need help, Manager.”
Ji Yeon nodded at her words.
“Poor Manager Choong-Sik, though.”
“Choong-Sik? What about him?”
Ji Yeon, taken aback by the sudden mention of Choong-Sik, asked without catching the drift.
“Our Manager Ji Yeon is like LTE at work, but seems to be on a 2G network when it comes to dating.”
Looking genuinely puzzled, Ji Yeon was met with a sympathetic look from Jo Yu Ri.
“Manager Choong-Sik can’t help but stare at you every chance he gets. During meetings, he looks at you so earnestly. When you present, he has the face of a fan who’s seeing their favorite celebrity for the first time. Of course, I might be the only one to notice since I’m quite knowledgeable and quick-witted in these matters.”
“What? Oh no, not Choong-Sik. We’ve known each other for so long. We’ve seen each other at our worst. You’re barking up the wrong tree there. We’re what you’d call ‘XX friends.'”
Ji Yeon waved her hands dismissively and then laughed heartily.
However, Jo Yu Ri shook her head at her response.
“Ah, poor Manager Choong-Sik, such a pity. It’s so obvious he has a crush, and his crush just called him an ‘XX friend.’ He’s really messed up his positioning. Tsk tsk tsk. But what can he do about it, especially now that the Manager is supposedly in a relationship? He’s missed the boat.”
Without a clear confirmation, Deputy Jo Yu Ri was firmly convinced that Ji Yeon was in a relationship.
“I bet that within a month, Manager Choong-Sik will confess. I’ll put my month’s worth of iced americano on it!”
After the short coffee break with Jo Yu Ri, Ji Yeon returned to her desk, now strangely conscious of Choong-Sik.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
