As she bowed her head again and started walking up the stairs, a deep voice resounded.
“Why did you say something to Teacher Bong? Kang Ha Nan is the one causing the problems.”
Even though she was bowing her head, it felt like he was looking at her, and her heart pounded.
“If you hadn’t gone to the company, this wouldn’t have happened, right?”
“I asked to come. I was curious because Grandma’s skills are so good.”
“You think that’s an excuse…!”
“Teacher Bong, please stop. Yul is waiting to go to school. Nam Team Leader.”
“Yes.”
Nam Team Leader, who received Gyo Hwan’s instruction, approached Hyo Jin.
“Let’s go.”

While descending the stairs following Nam Team Leader, Hyo Jin’s full attention was focused on Ji Hyun, who was talking to him.
“What happened to your hand?”
“Lower your voice. I slept at the hotel because I was afraid Yul would be surprised.”
Her voice sounded unusually tired, as if she hadn’t slept well because of the change in her sleeping arrangements.
“Teacher Bong?”
Nam Team Leader, who had come down to the parking lot where Hyo Jin and the driver were waiting, handed her a bag with a lunchbox inside.
“The CEO asked me to pass this on. He said he ate it with gratitude thanks to Grandma.”
“Oh, I see.”
Hyo Jin, who received the lunchbox, opened her hesitant lips.
“Is my father’s hand okay?”

“If you’re curious, ask him directly. Don’t ask me.”
Nam Team Leader gave her affectionate advice as if he were a love cupid, but her response was no different from Gyo Hwan’s, as she felt extremely awkward.
“Tell the team leader to convey it to my father. I hope he recovers soon.”
“Yes?”
What is this? Do I have to quit my job so they can meet and talk in person?
Both the CEO and Teacher Bong. It’s really strange.
Both of them have mouths, so why can’t they speak up? Am I the strange one for not understanding this?
Buzz.
Hyo Jin looked at the caller ID, sought permission with an apologetic look, and turned her back to answer the call.
“Oh, Grandma. It’s me.”

At this time, what could be the matter with Grandma? Is she bringing lunchboxes again?
Hello? Is this the Yang Soon Hye family by any chance?
“Yes?”
The voice that came through Grandma’s number was a strange man she didn’t know.
“Yes, Yang Soon Hye is my stepgrandmother. May I ask who’s calling?”
Perplexed, as a sense of crisis took hold, Nam Team Leader also stared at her with a serious expression.
“Yes? The hospital?”
What should I do? After hearing the other person’s words, Hyo Jin looked at Nam Team Leader.
“Team Leader, I’m really sorry. My grandmother had an accident and needs to go to the hospital. Can I ask Yul for a favor?”
“My grandmother? Is she seriously injured?”

“I… I’m fine…”
Just imagining it made her hands tremble and tears well up.
“I think I should go and see.”
“I understand. Yul can take you there as the driver, so go quickly.”
“I’m really sorry,”
“Huh, you must have been very surprised. Your grandmother shouldn’t be seriously injured.”
Watching Hyo Jin rushing toward the main gate with a deep expression, Nam Team Leader climbed up the Love Villa, where Gyo Hwan was waiting.
“What’s going on?”
Gyo Hwan, who was putting on his shirt, forgot to button it as he watched Hyo Jin crossing the garden outside the window.
“Oh, my grandmother had an accident, so she needs to go to the hospital.”

“An accident?”
Gyo Hwan furrowed his brow.
“How badly is she hurt?”
“I don’t know for sure. Teacher Bong said he should go and see too.”
If he couldn’t contact her directly, it must be serious.
“Is it not a voice phishing scam?”
“Yes? From listening to the conversation, it didn’t seem like they were asking for money.”
Have you seen someone so frustrated?
“Are you saying that after hearing all that, Teacher Bong went alone? Go down immediately and drive to the hospital. Didn’t I entrust all the tasks related to Teacher Bong to Nam Team Leader?”
It would be burdensome if I go.

“What about the CEO?”
I am the CEO’s chief secretary, so why me?
“I’ll take care of the work at the office. Go to the hospital, assess the situation, and come back to the company. No, don’t come back to the company, stay there and assess the situation, then report to me.”
“CEO?”
Take a deep breath.
“Why aren’t you leaving quickly?”
My heart is already pounding. I heard the sound of the engine starting, as if someone had turned on a motor.
“Fine, I understand.”
Saying that there is no connection with Teacher Bong.

When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
