The flickering lights spread in front of Ye Seul’s eyes.
Kyu Won said, pulling Ye Seul onto the sidewalk.
The cheeks of Kyu Won, who was supporting Ye Seul, were red.
“I guess it’s not good to leave you alone after all.”
Ye Seul turned her head away, pushing Kyu Won away.
“No, it’s okay. Could you let go of my arm?”
Gyu Won, holding Ye Seul’s arm, spoke with force.
“If you say I can give you a lift, then I’ll let you go.”
Ye Seul felt a sudden chill.
And at that moment, she was jerked backwards, her nose prickled by the bitter scent of cocoa.
“It’s not right to negotiate with someone else’s body.”
Si Heon’s icy voice, like winter air, sounded above her.
“Rather, you should not touch so casually.”
Gyu Won glared at Si Heon and reached out to Ye Seul.
Si Heon nonchalantly pulled Ye Seul into his arms, batting away Gyu Won’s hand.
“Uh… you… this bastard! Get your hands off my sister’s body!”
Gyu Won scowled as if angry.
“Gyu Won. This person is….”
Ye Seul opened her mouth to stop Gyu Won.
But her words stuck in her throat. How should she explain this man?
He’s the CEO, but to anyone, this situation seemed too much.
She couldn’t introduce him as her husband.
“Sister! Who on earth is this man?”
“Well…. that’s….”
Ye Seul still couldn’t find the right words.
“My introduction was late.”
“Mr. Si Heon!”
Fear gripped her heart at the thought of Si Heon possibly introducing himself as her husband.
“My name is Baek Si Heon. And to you, Mr. Lee Gyu Won, I am a workplace superior in Chloe. A company party is not a personal place, so please refrain from using the term ‘sister’.”
Gyu Won narrowed his eyes.
“CEO Baek Si Heon?”
What Gyu Won saw was entirely different from the rumors he had heard about Si Heon.
Of course, it might be true that his looks could bewitch anyone at first glance.
But he had heard that Si Heon was affectionate, warm, and always smiling, yet those eyes were twinkling like a wild beast.
His arrogant face twisted into a cold smile.
“Knowing me, you’ll understand quickly.”
Si Heon applied force to the hand around Ye Seul’s waist.
Ye Seul flinched and twisted her body.
“Ah…, no matter if you are the CEO, isn’t this a bit too much?”
Although Gyu Won was scared of Si Heon, he mustered up the courage to argue, fueled by alcohol.
“If you force a drunk woman into your arms….”
In the end, Gyu Won swallowed his words, suppressed by Si Heon’s sharp gaze.
“It doesn’t seem like the person who was about to force a reluctant woman home has any right to talk.”
“Gyu Won was just trying to help.”
Ye Seul spoke hastily, as if making an excuse.
She didn’t want Gyu Won to have a bad impression of her on the first day.
Si Heon’s brows furrowed.
“Did I do something unnecessary?”
Ye Seul paused and looked up at Si Heon.
The laughter had disappeared from Baek Si Heon, feeling as cold as ice.
Ye Seul gritted her teeth.
“He’s my subordinate. I’m fine, so don’t say anything more.”
She might not have been supposed to defend Kyu Won here.
However, he was an important team member to Ye Seul.
“Sis… I…”
Kyu Won started to say something, then shut his mouth, looking at Si Heon.
Si Heon recalled all the things that had irritated him all day long.
Disappointment in Ye Seul. And his own pettiness.
He couldn’t just pass over those feelings as if ignoring them was enough.
Si Heon was still displeased now.
He swallowed the feeling of anger and resentment that was welling up.
It’s dangerous.
Living with Byung Suk, Si Heon had no choice but to become adept at reading people’s moods.
And he chose not to take the treacherous path of offending others.
Even if it was based on lies, he wanted to laugh it off.
The reluctance to clash with Ye Seul, wanting to only keep the joyful things in this married life was in that context.
It was his last marriage in life. Si Heon didn’t want the frustrating state to continue.
Si Heon looked down at Ye Seul.
Her breath smelled of alcohol, and her slightly unfocused catlike eyes were full of discomfort.
Si Heon slowly closed and opened his eyes. Then, he called Ye Seul in the softest tone possible.
“Ms. Ye Seul.”
At the breath that reached her ears, Ye Seul felt a heat surge up to her neck, flushing it red.
“I came to pick you up.”
A warm voice ringing gently.
“Let’s go to our house.”
Ye Seul was bewildered at Si Heon’s reaction, which she thought would be angry.
“Mr. Kyu Won. I’m sorry.”
Ye Seul thought she needed to send Kyu Won home first.
“And Director, I’m fine, please let go of me.”
Ye Seul grimaced and pushed away Si Heon’s hand that was wrapped around her waist.
Si Heon’s hand, which had been wrapped around Ye Seul’s waist, fell away listlessly from her body.
Feeling the warmth that had been enveloping her body disappear, Ye Seul shrank from the sudden cold.
Si Heon caught Ye Seul’s hand, lifted the corners of his lips, and met her eyes.
“Let’s go.”
“Say goodbye to Mr. Kyu Won…”
Ye Seul felt only embarrassment toward Kyu Won.
She narrowed her eyes in worry about the next day.
“It’s not like we’re testing human patience.”
Si Heon muttered, raising an eyebrow.
“Mr. Lee Kyu Won. See you tomorrow.”
Si Heon greeted on behalf of Ye Seul, turned his body, and pulled Ye Seul.
After waving awkwardly to Kyu Won and forcing an awkward smile, Ye Seul was led away by Si Heon.
The apartment was about a fiveminute drive away, so I was able to get out of the stuffy car sooner than expected.
Even inside the car, I kept an eye on Si Heon.
Ye Seul, like a deer fleeing from being caught by Si Heon, walked quickly towards the elevator and rode up.
Si Heon was standing behind Ye Seul without saying a word.
The time in the elevator felt long.
Why was there so much guilt?
Ye Seul looked down at her toes.
The lingering intoxication made her dizzy.
She missed her time in Paris with a sad feeling.
The seeds, Sebastian, and a 100yearold rundown apartment. The scenery outside the window.
Blinded by greed, accepting this contractual marriage was a mistake.
She thought she wouldn’t develop feelings for this man in three months, but every time she saw him, she felt like she was on a ship caught in a storm.
The sense of crisis that seemed to be swallowed up by a huge wave.
It’s dangerous.
Ye Seul slightly bit her lips and closed her eyes.
As soon as she arrived at the apartment, Ye Seul exploded with resentment.
“Don’t act that way without thinking about the difficulties of people.”
Si Heon stood in front of Ye Seul, narrowing his eyebrows and looked down coldly.
“I have to keep working with Mr. Kyu Won… What do you think of me with Mr. Si Heon?”
Is it because of her relationship with Sebastian that she’s more sensitive?
Si Heon felt like the feelings he had been trying to ignore were slowly swallowing him.
“Just go and tell him tomorrow that we got married, isn’t it?”
Ye Seul was shocked and opened her mouth.
“Ha…. I can’t say that!”
Who can reveal that they are married for the sake of divorce?
“Ye Seul and I. We’ve been a couple for the past seven years, why are you trying to hide that?”
Why are you so confident in this marriage?
Ye Seul stared up at Si Heon.
“Or do you have someone you don’t want to notify?”
At Si Heon’s sarcastic words, Ye Seul’s pupils trembled.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
