Inside the crispy croissant, there was scrambled eggs and bacon, and for dessert, the famous hotel’s Foret Noir and millefeuille were sparkling on a pretty plate.
“Wow! Did Mr. Baek Si Heon prepare this?”
The dark thoughts that had weighed down Ye Seul until just moments ago had cleared away like lifting fog.
“I didn’t have much time, so I made something simple.”
“That’s excellent.”
She sat at the table, gazing at the croissant.
The delicious aroma made her mouth water.
“Is coffee okay?”
The image of him pouring coffee in the kitchen felt like a scene perfectly suited to the description of a loving husband.
A satisfied smile curled her lips.
Even though their marriage was a contract, if Baek Si Heon wanted to play house, she thought this wasn’t too bad.
“Thank you.”
Ye Seul wrapped her hands around the coffee cup.
Dressed in a shirt and tie, Si Heon sat before Ye Seul and tore into the croissant appetizingly.
She had noticed during their meals, Si Heon enjoyed his food.
He looked particularly happy when eating desserts.
“Are you starting the day with something sweet like this?”
“I thought someone like a chocolatier would start their day with something like this… Was I wrong?”
At Si Heon’s question, Ye Seul chuckled.
“No matter how much I like desserts, I can’t eat at every meal like you, Mr. Si Heon. I taste more while making them.”
“Please include me when you taste desserts you’ve made, Ms. Ye Seul.”
The sight of a piece of millefeuille neatly disappearing into Si Heon’s mouth made her mouth water.
“Do you want to try mine?”
It seemed Si Heon noticed Ye Seul watching him.
“It’s okay. I think the Foret Noir will also be delicious.”
When Ye Seul refused, Si Heon cut a small piece of his millefeuille and placed it on Ye Seul’s plate.
“Eat up.”
Ye Seul also cut her Foret Noir and put it on Si Heon’s plate.
“It’s nice to have a wife to share food with.”
“Don’t you share with your friends?”
As Si Heon wiped his mouth with a tissue, he gave a bitter smile.
“I don’t have friends to go out and eat desserts with.”
The image of two big men sharing a beautiful cake popped into Ye Seul’s mind, making her burst into laughter.
“It’s temporary, but I can share anytime.”
“It was a good decision to get married.”
Marriage… she had almost forgotten.
Ye Seul thought it was fortunate she remembered now.
“I… have a favor to ask.”
Ye Seul pricked a corner of the Foret Noir with her dessert fork.
“Please keep our marriage a secret at the company.”
“Why do we need to keep it a secret when we’re not doing anything wrong?”
Si Heon furrowed his brow. His harsh tone made Ye Seul wonder if he was upset.
“Our marriage has an expiration date, after all.”
“Didn’t you announce your marriage at Ceedoo, Ms. Ye Seul?”
Had it been an illusion that Mr. Baek Si Heon’s expression seemed to darken?
“I didn’t want to share such personal life with people.”
Unlike Si Heon, who openly wore a wedding ring, Ye Seul did not feel the need to tell people about her impending divorce.
“I understand. I’ll give a warning to this secretary as well.”
In the company, the only person who knew that Ye Seul was Si Heon’s wife was Secretary Lee Seo Rin.
“If you’re done eating, let’s go to work.”
Si Heon rushed Ye Seul in his usual gentle tone.
Ye Seul was relieved to think that she didn’t seem to have upset Si Heon’s mood.
Was it really a matter of pride for Si Heon that Ye Seul was his wife?
It wouldn’t be strange if he had a girlfriend who was prettier, more competent, and wealthier than himself.
“Let’s go together, Mr. Si Heon.”
Ye Seul grabbed her bag and followed Si Heon.
((()))((()))((()))
Baek Song Bakery had a dedicated project team for Ceedoo.
Ye Seul had been busy around the clock for several days adjusting to the company.
The workshop provided by the company for Ye Seul was neatly equipped with the latest equipment for pastry baking.
She was excited that it was a space just for her.
Above all, the new oven was almost similar to the one she used in Paris, which she liked even more.
“The store is located next to the cafe on the first floor of Baek Song Hotel. Inspection is possible whenever Ms. Chloe wants. The interior work is in the final stages now……”
Seo Rin, Si Heon’s direct secretary, was reporting the progress of the Ceedoo Korea branch to Ye Seul in a mechanical voice.
“Thank you. As soon as the design for a few new products is completed, I will prepare for sampling according to the representative’s schedule.”
For the past few days, Ye Seul had been drawing designs and making samples for new product development exclusively for Korea to coincide with the opening of the Ceedoo Korea store, and had been repeating the taste tests.
The only time she had business encounters with Si Heon was during meetings.
Due to his unique relaxed atmosphere, there was little perception that he would be busy, but Si Heon in the company seemed to be busy enough to break down the schedule by minute. He was not as easy to meet as Ye Seul had thought.
‘Aren’t you lonely without me?’
It was what Si Heon said with a smile after Ye Seul’s first day of work and right before his business trip.
‘It’s nice to have the bed wide open.’
‘That’s a little disappointing.’
He had quietly reached out and gently grabbed Ye Seul’s hand. The space between her fingers tingled.
“I wished you’d feel lonely without me.”
He left for his business trip after such a childish remark.
With our early mornings and late nights, both of us were exhausted. If we didn’t meet because of his trips or something like that, it seemed like three months would just pass without any incident.
Was it a disappointment?
“And Chef. Here are the resumes of the staff for the new store. We are running out of time, so we did the interviews. Please tell me if there’s anyone difficult to manage.”
“Thank you.”
After listening to Seo Rin about the subsequent schedule, Ye Seul looked at the tools.
Would Baek Si Heon be hard at work after his business trip around this time?
Ye Seul’s phone rang. She wiped her hands on the towel rack and took out her phone.
She hastily opened the message window at the sight of the name ‘Baek Si Heon’.
[‘Did you miss me?’] This man is teasing me again. Ye Seul pursed her lips and tapped on the keyboard of her phone. [‘Not at all, Mr. Si Heon is……’] Ye Seul hesitated whether to send the message. While deleting it, a message came from Si Heon. [‘Let’s do something couplelike today.’] Couplelike? Ye Seul was flustered but calmly turned off her smartphone screen.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.”
