Hyojun’s antics became increasingly troublesome as days passed, but Sehee’s counterattacks were no joke either.
Thanks to this, Sehee gained another new nickname.
Jhan Dark, head of SY Hotel’s business department.
Commonly known as Sedark.
Sehee didn’t like that nickname.
Why?
Everyone knows, but according to Jhan Dark himself, it wasn’t that beautiful.
Cinderella married a prince, at least.
Unfortunately, she ended up in the stepmother’s role.
The world is a truly cruel place.
Then and now.
Today, as Sedark tried to leave work comfortably without Hyojun showing up, an unexpected intruder blocked her way.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
It was Yoon Yeri, whom she hadn’t seen since being assigned to the secretary’s office.
“I’m busy right now.”
Dealing with Hyojun alone was tiring enough, and now Yoon Yeri too?
Sehee responded with annoyance.
“Do you not know who I am?”
Yoon Yeri chuckled as if bewildered by Sehee’s attitude.
“Yoon Yeri, the employee. Aren’t I?”
“Ha. Are you joking with me right now?”
Yeri provocatively slammed Sehee’s desk while raising her voice.
This was an action that Sehee could not tolerate.
Sehee stood up from her seat.
“Miss Yoon Yeri, what is this behavior?”
“Ha, did you provoke our brother like this too?”
Rather than a witty retort, Yoon Yeri raised her voice while making a fuss.
“Who said I provoked anyone? Did Cha Hyojun say that? Did I say I’m provoking? Ha… What kind of medicine did you and your husband take? Seriously, what kind of twins are you?”
Sehee’s suppressed emotions exploded.
“What? Now you’re making a big fuss about a married man? Who’s wagging their tail in front of whom?”
Yoon Yeri, an octave higher than Sehee, seemed to press her down.
Married man? Wagging their tail?
Who made whom marry in the first place?
In the end, Sehee’s rationality was paralyzed.
They say a person becomes calm when genuinely angry.
“Miss Yoon Yeri. I have someone I’m meeting.”
Sehee said in a cold tone and selected a photo on her phone with a haughty expression.
“Now, open your eyes wide and look. My lover. Being with someone like this, do you think Cha Hyojun will catch my eye? Take a good look.”
Provocatively, Sehee thrust her phone in front of Yoon Yeri’s face.
For a moment, Yoon Yeri’s expression twisted strangely.
“…Do you expect me to believe this? Ha… such a lie?”
Yoon Yeri’s eyelids trembled.
“Yeah. You probably don’t want to believe it. Because the difference is too obvious just by looks. You probably don’t want to admit it. But what can you do? It’s the truth.”
Sehee casually closed her phone.
“Cha Hyojun? Ha, can’t even be seen as a squid. I really hope my husband does a better job of checking. Even if you’ve been assigned to the secretary’s office. Shouldn’t you monitor your own husband? I’m really tired.”
With a condescending gaze, Sehee looked at Yeri, lightly tapped her shoulder, and picked up her bag.
“I’ll leave work first. Please convey this. Don’t act so annoyingly.”
Frozen, Yoon Yeri couldn’t close her open mouth in disbelief.
Sehee walked elegantly towards the office door.
Then, she quickly moved inside the emergency exit stairs.
Clang, she hastily closed the door.
This is insane.
I’m definitely crazy.
My sanity must have momentarily left me.
No matter how angry I was, this was not it.
This is really not it.
How could I flaunt Kyle’s photo?
I must be crazy, really.
Oh. I can’t live like this.
Hyojun’s provocations could be somewhat overlooked, but Sehee couldn’t hold back and exploded against Yoon Yeri.
Still, to use Kyle as a shield.
Ah… really. I’m going crazy. Seriously.
Seated on the emergency exit stairs, Sehee cooled down her excited emotions.
After a while, she stood up and slowly walked towards the company’s main gate with heavy steps.
“Assistant Lee-.”
Manager Kim’s excited voice caught Sehee off guard.
“Manager Kim?”
Anyone would want to avoid now.
Since the entire department must have witnessed the conflict with Yoon Yeri.
“Where did you go? Huh? I waited so long. Assistant, you’re truly amazing. You were like the goddess Athena, not Sedark.”
Manager Kim’s eyes sparkled like an idol fan who met their star.
“I feel so relieved. From now on, you’re my idol. Let’s go. On such a good day, we should have a drink, right? I’m treating.”
Excited, Manager Kim grabbed Sehee’s hand and pulled her along.
“You know. Manager. About that person.”
Sehee said awkwardly.
“Shh, it’s okay. It’s not a lie. We dated, right? You did well. Really well.”
As SeolA reassured her, Sehee’s uncomfortable feelings gradually subsided.
However, the two had no idea how today’s events would unfold.
After that incident, Cha Hyojun stopped bothering Sehee in the department, and days passed without any further quarrels.
But one Monday morning as they started a new week.
Sehee’s name appeared on the employee bulletin board.
What kind of lightning bolt is this?
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
