“Just stop your nonsense and clean this up.”
Dropping her broom in frustration, Soonhye went into the kitchen.
Did I make a mistake bringing him without a heads up? I wanted to surprise her.
As Hyo Jin picked up the broken pot shards and placed them in a bag, she cut her finger on a sharp edge.
Ouch.
Seeing the broken porcelain and the blood flowing from her finger, an ominous feeling crept in.
It’s strange. What urgent matter would suddenly arise at his company? It shouldn’t be a big deal.
After cleaning up, as she was taking a breath, she received a call from Team Leader Nam.
“Team Leader, I was just wondering about my father’s situation. What’s going on?”
Aren’t you with the CEO now? I called thinking you were together.
“No, he said he had to go back to the office. What happened?”
[Dash] He went to the office? He told me not to call as he’s going to your grandma’s. So I called Ms. Bong instead. Where did he go?“Really?”
Team Leader Nam seemed to be in the dark too. What on earth happened?
[Dash] If you get in touch with the CEO, could you please tell him to call me? There are urgent scheduling changes for tomorrow.“Yes, I understand.”
She quickly ended the call and tried calling Gyo Hwan. However, despite the signal going through, he didn’t pick up.
“Butler Pyo, has my father come in?”
Having hurriedly returned to Sangrimwon in the car driven by the chauffeur, Seo, Hyo Jin happened to run into Butler Pyo, who was just leaving after finishing his work for the day.
“Weren’t you both together? He hasn’t returned yet, so Madam thought he was with Teacher Bong.”
“Really?”
Entering her residence, Hyo Jin tried calling again. But this time, not only did he not answer, but a voice message indicated the phone was switched off.
“Father, where are you? You said you had to check something at the company but you aren’t answering your phone. Team Leader Nam said he has urgent changes to tomorrow’s schedule and asked for you to call back. Please contact me or the team leader as soon as you check this message. It’s really important.”
Though she left an urgent voice message, there was no response from Gyo Hwan until the early dawn when the blue mist was visible outside.
Ah, what is happening? I’m so worried.
“Team Leader Nam, I’m sorry to call you early. I’ve been trying to contact my father all night but couldn’t get through.”
Concerned something might have happened, Hyo Jin felt compelled to check.
[Dash] “Ah, it seems he’s been busy with an important task at the company and forgot to inform you.”Upon hearing Team Leader Nam’s words, Hyo Jin was taken aback.
“Really…? So, you’ve contacted my father?”
“He’s with you?”
But why didn’t he contact me? He didn’t even answer my calls.
[Dash] “Well, do you have any message for the CEO…?”“No, it seems he has his reasons. I’ll hang up for now.”
Feeling awkward yet relieved that Gyo Hwan was with Team Leader Nam, Hyo Jin ended the call.
‘What’s going on?’
After hanging up the phone, Team Leader Nam looked towards the bathroom from where the sound of water could be heard.
In the hotel room with thick blackout curtains, not a single ray of light penetrated.
Moreover, even the lights were off, so when he came in after Gyo Hwan’s call, he almost tripped on a bottle of liquor lying on the floor.
“Are you okay? Teacher Bong was worried.”
Exiting the shower, Gyo Hwan didn’t say a word, just took out a cold bottled water from the refrigerator.
What’s up with him? Did he have a lovers’ quarrel with Teacher Bong? But from Teacher Bong’s voice, it didn’t seem like it.
“Do you have Teacher Bong’s resume?”
“Ah, yes.”
Team Leader Nam showed Gyo Hwan the resume and ID papers that Teacher Bong had submitted during the interview.
Name: Bong Hyo Jin.
Family Relationships:
Grandmother: Yang Soonhye, 521004[Dash]XXXXXXX.
Younger Brother: Bong Hwangsa, 020918[Dash]XXXXXXX.
The parents he remembered as deceased were not listed on the official documents.
“And the family register?”
Upon his directive, Team Leader Nam presented the family register of Hyo Jin printed from the internet.
Herself, Bong Hyo Jin. Born on June 15, 1995.
Family Details: Father, Bong Haegyu, deceased.
Only his date of birth and SSN were listed next to it.
Although the date of death wasn’t listed, Gyo Hwan knew all too well.
May 16, 2014.
The day his wife died in an accident he caused, and the day Seungyul was born.
‘How did Father accumulate such a large debt before he passed?’
‘Uh… I’ll tell you later.’
‘Okay, then.’
Damn it.
I should have looked deeper into it back then.
Setting down the heavy binder in his hand, Gyo Hwan cursed under his breath.
I hadn’t even done a basic background check since the kid’s grandfather introduced me to her. I didn’t expect to be stabbed in the back like this.
Did Father know this and still introduced Yul’s teacher to us?
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.”
