To the most notorious Yangyang Hotel, known for its poor conditions among SY Hotel branches, and as a temporary assignment.
Stunned, Sehee froze in front of it.
“What is this? Seriously?”
SunA, who heard the news, exclaimed in disbelief.
“Oh, Assistant. Did you see the assignment?”
At this moment, a voice that was never welcome echoed.
As if she had been waiting, Yoon Yeri, with a nasal tone, knowingly pretended.
“Well, look who’s gotten a chance. You must be happy. Not everyone gets a chance like this so easily.”
But Sehee’s unyielding retort immediately darkened Yoon Yeri’s expression.
“Of course. I’m thrilled. You know, I’ve never had a dad, so I don’t really understand. You can’t find a dad who doesn’t exist.”
Yoon Yeri’s unabashed attack came flying.
“Why don’t you have one? I told you. I have a lover. He’s such a perfect man that sometimes he takes care of me like a caring dad.”
Sehee didn’t yield either.
“Yangyang? That’s great. If I stay there for a while, I should learn swimming and surfing. My lover is really good at swimming. Hyojun probably can’t swim, right?”
Sehee said excitedly as she passed by Yoon Yeri.
“Your mental strength is something. Talking about a non-existent man.”
Yoon Yeri spat out at Sehee’s back with a mocking tone.
“You’ll meet him soon. Don’t faint when you see him.”
After briefly stopping, Sehee acknowledged it until the end and turned her head proudly as she entered the office.
Reality was not on her side.
“Assistant Lee. Did you see the assignment?”
Uncomfortably, Manager Yang approached Sehee.
“Yes, Manager.”
“The date……”
“But Manager, when did our hotel personnel become so haphazard? Shouldn’t you at least inform us a day before about the assignment? We’re not some hole-in-the-wall place, and we’re within the top three hotels in the industry. Where does anyone find out about their personnel assignment through a post?”
Sehee complained with a deeply hurt expression.
“Why is everyone making a fuss to me? I found out this morning too.”
Manager Yang responded irritably.
“I understand that personnel assignments go to the HR department after department head approval. If you could at least inform us in advance so we can prepare……”
A saddened Sehee lamented.
“I found out this morning too. What’s the big deal? Is it because you have no education? Shouting so loudly in front of adults, such a loud voice.”
Perhaps not liking Sehee’s rebuke, Manager Yang shouted back.
“What? Manager, what did you say?”
Is she bringing up the topic of parents now?
Perplexed, Sehee looked at Manager Yang with a twisted expression.
“That’s right. Did I say something wrong?”
“I’m not asking you to block it. If you had given me a heads up first……”
Sehee’s voice, choking back tears, shook.
“Did I say something wrong? I told you to block it, didn’t I? Is it my fault that even parents who aren’t here get cursed at?”
Overwhelmed, Sehee’s voice trembled.
In the end, SunA stood up, heard Sehee’s grievance, and intervened.
“Manager! You’re not saying that, right? Really. Manager also has two daughters. If Manager’s daughter goes through something like this, would you just stay silent? Instead of blocking when it’s too late.”
“Kim SunA. Be careful too. Do you want to go to Geoje Island? Who will stop whom in this situation where even covering one’s own front is difficult? Assistant Lee! Be quiet even if you go to Yangyang.”
Manager Yang, irritated, left the office.
“Are you okay? Don’t be too upset. I’ll help you sort things out. Let’s go.”
SunA comforted Sehee.
“I’m sorry. Because of me.”
“There’s nothing to apologize for. That person couldn’t help it. But I felt the need to intervene because it seemed inappropriate. By the way, a sudden assignment to Yangyang overnight. Unbelievable.”
SunA let out a heavy sigh.
As Sehee struggled to pack and left as if chased away, SunA was the only one by her side.
Back in the office, under the watchful eyes of Manager Yang, no one greeted Sehee properly.
What a dirty world.
Sehee boarded a high-speed bus alone bound for Yangyang.
The sunlight in Gangwon Province’s Yangyang was bright, but Sehee’s mood inside the bus was gloomy.
After getting off the bus and taking a taxi for a while, she saw a hotel towering with a view of the sea.
Sehee walked straight into the hotel lobby.
The well-organized and clean interior design of the hotel, with a conveniently laid out route, made the hotel’s first impression not bad.
Scanning the surroundings slowly, Sehee headed to the front desk.
However, the problem seemed to be this?
Even though customers had arrived, they were only chatting with each other while looking at the monitors.
The service was a mess.
Sehee approached the front desk.
“Did you get a waiting ticket?”
When a female employee bluntly asked,
“Is it necessary to get a waiting ticket when there’s no one here?”
Sehee replied sharply on purpose.
“Of course. You have to get a waiting ticket. Please get it over there.”
“I could handle this instead of arguing like this.”
“What?”
Looking at Sehee, the female employee’s face twisted in irritation.
Sehee accurately revealed her identity to such a female employee.
“I’m Lee Sehee, who received an assignment from the headquarters and just arrived. Which floor is the business department office on?”
“Oh, hello. I didn’t hear you were coming. You can take the elevator over there and go to the 4th floor.”
Only then did the female employee’s expression change to a somewhat humble one, and she offered a lifeless smile.
“Please smile like that to the customers as well.”
Sehee retorted coldly and moved on.
Although she had often conducted customer service training at the headquarters, she had never seen employees of this level.
Her chest tightened at where to start.
Arriving at the office, Sehee straightened her appearance, knocked politely, and entered.
“Come in.”
A slow voice came from inside.
Entering after opening the door, Sehee greeted right away.
“Hello. I’m Lee Sehee, who received an assignment from the headquarters. I look forward to working with you.”
Bowing politely and raising her head, Sehee was momentarily taken aback.
The person sitting in the innermost seat must be the director, and then a male colleague next to him and one empty seat remaining.
Is this the business department?
“Oh, you’ve been through a lot. Come on in. Come in. You look surprised because it’s so plain. Did they say it was poorly equipped for nothing? It’s because of the lack of personnel. Everyone just resigns once they receive an assignment. I’m Jung Manwoo.”
Manager Jung stood up, offered a handshake, and said.
“Hello. I’m Lee Sehee.”
“Over there is Manager Hong Jinguk.”
“Hello. I’m Hong Jinguk.”
“I look forward to working with you. I’m Lee Sehee.”
Sehee politely greeted Jinguk as well.
“I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re from Cedark? Came and had a showdown with Yoon Yeri?”
Manager Jung swung his fist in the air as if he were boxing.
“Ah… right. So, they say my nickname changed to Athena. The Goddess of War Athena.”
Manager Jung laughed playfully.
Sehee, feeling flustered, just blinked.
“I can hear everything even when I’m sitting here. There’s an empty seat over there, and Yangyang is not as bad as you think. Don’t think about leaving. Let’s get along well. Athena, fighting.”
Manager Jung clenched his fists.
“Uh… Manager, it’s Athena. Athena.”
Manager Hong quickly approached and whispered.
“What? Oh, Athena? Athena or Antenna, it’s just a small difference, right?”
As if it were trivial, Manager Jung shook his head looking at Sehee.
That’s how the first day in Yangyang began.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
