Ye Seul had her recently used notebook with her, but she had left her sketches from Paris in the sample room.
“Should I boldly steal the design again?”
She didn’t like being plagiarized, even if it was an old design.
“Still…, there’s nothing wrong with being thorough. It would be good to deliver the coat while I’m at it.”
Ye Seul headed to the office with the coat in hand.
In her pocket, Si Heon’s tin case clinked and made a noise.
“This is out of my duty as a wife. For the next three months, I am a real wife. So this is purely out of necessity.”
She repeatedly tried to convince herself.
This building, housing Baek Song Confectionery and Food, was a bit far from Baek Song Group’s head office.
Although it wasn’t as large as the headquarters, the inside of the building was clean.
The snow character, the mascot of Baek Song Confectionery’s steadyselling snack, was welcoming at the entrance.
Ye Seul deactivated the security with her employee ID and headed to the sample room to find the notebook.
It was difficult to assume that someone came in from outside to leak the design in a large company with reasonable security.

It was highly likely to be an insider.
Who could it be?
A dim light was visible through the small window of the sample room.
Wondering if she saw wrong, she blinked her eyes and stuck them closely to the window.
Someone was there.
Swallowing her dry saliva, Ye Seul opened the door of the sample room.
They were rummaging through a drawer with the light of their mobile phone, and when the faint light came from the door, they froze in surprise.
The moving figure in the darkness was slender and seemed to be a woman.
Thinking that if it’s a woman, she might have a chance, Ye Seul closed the door and blocked the entrance so she couldn’t run away.
Her heart pounded and her mouth was completely dry.

She remembered a line from a detective novel that the culprit returns to the scene of the crime.
Fear made Ye Seul’s fingertips cold.
She considered the possibility of being attacked and thought about where she had placed the marble baton.
If it came to that, she would grab the baton and strike, adjusting her body’s direction.
She wouldn’t lose to any other women in terms of arm strength.
She felt along the wall with her hand, looking for the light.
Please, don’t come this way!
Click.
The surroundings brightened and for a moment, silence flowed as their eyes adapted.
“Chloe.”
A familiar voice.

“Ms. Seo Rin?”
It was her secretary, wasn’t it?
“Did Ms. Seo Rin do it?”
Ye Seul had suspected it might be Seo Rin, but she had hoped it wasn’t.
Because Si Heon trusted Seo Rin, that’s why he had her working with Ye Seul…
“Did you leak the design of ‘Bush de Noel’, Ms. Seo Rin?”
“Don’t misunderstand, Chloe.”
Seo Rin put out her hand with a confused face.
“I didn’t do it.”
“Ms. Seo Rin. There are no criminals who admit what they’ve done.”
“Why would I do such a thing…?”
“That’s because….”
Could it be because Seo Rin liked Baek Si Heon?
She did not want Ye Seul and Si Heon to divorce, just like Juliet.
Considering she deliberately leaked information to Juliet because she wanted to see Ye Seul in trouble, it felt like the pieces were falling into place.
“Chloe.”
Seo Rin took a moment to swallow, then opened her mouth with a suddenly calm voice.
“I absolutely don’t do anything that harms the president.”
Did she arrest an innocent person? Ye Seul looked closely into Seo Rin’s eyes.

“Let’s see if you can say the same thing in front of the president.”
Ye Seul spoke firmly, gripping Seo Rin’s wrist.

My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
