Taehee, who commuted to work, dedicated herself to her work more passionately than usual.
What Sajun likes, what his happy face looks like. Although she was extremely tired from staying up late last night to find out, her vitality overflowed.
Is this the power of love?
Even a piercing sunlight felt warmly.
At 10 AM, after enjoying a light tea time with Manager Kang at the rooftop rest area, Taehee decided to contact Chairman Kang.
It might seem a bit odd to contact him within a day, but since it was a necessary communication, she thought there was no need to delay it.
Knowing he was a busy person, she sent a message instead of calling.
[Hello, this is Min Taehee. I hope you don’t mind me contacting you through a message, considering your busy schedule. I’m available anytime after 6 PM, so please contact me when it’s convenient for you, Chairman. Have a pleasant day today as well.]After repeatedly writing and deleting several times, Taehee eventually decided to send it with a feeling of “whatever.”
She even added a smiling face after writing, “Chairman, fighting.”
An hour after sending the message, Chairman Kang contacted her. It happened that he had about an hour of free time this evening and asked if they could meet.
When she readily agreed, Chairman Kang said he would send the time and meeting place through a message and would also send a car.
After rejecting his kindness and ending the call, Taehee entered the office, and Manager Kang approached her.
“Assistant Manager, Chairman Kang is calling for you.”
Smiling, Chief Executive Choi asked Taehee.
“Assistant Min, are you in a relationship these days?”
How far has the rumor spread? Taehee looked at Chief Executive Choi with surprised eyes.
“It’s not that surprising. To protect this position, you have to know the circumstances of the company well. For example, the love story of my subordinate that I cherish.”
“I am in a relationship.”
Taehee answered with a tense expression.
“Listening, Assistant Min’s lover is extremely handsome, capable, and affectionate. Is that true?”
“He looks handsome to me and takes good care of me, but…”
Taehee’s words became vague.
It felt like Chief Executive Choi was asking personal questions, and she felt that it was not right to answer even as she answered.
“Is there any problem?”
When Taehee asked, Chief Executive Choi smiled.
“There’s no problem with being in a relationship. I just wanted to see if starting a relationship with a very handsome boyfriend might bring about changes in your feelings.”
“…”
“Such cases do happen. Nowadays, young people often choose love over work. It’s not just a few weeks; it’s at least two to three years. How about you, Assistant Min?”
“My determination has not changed.”
At Taehee’s response, Chief Executive Choi smiled, as if expecting it.
“As expected, Assistant Min. You can go now.”
Even when told to leave, Taehee did not get up. Chief Executive Choi asked again.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
Taehee’s determination remained unchanged.
Nevertheless, strangely, there was one thing she just wanted to ask.
“I know it will never happen, but just out of curiosity, what would happen if I suddenly couldn’t go on a business trip?”
“Well, someone else will go in your place. There are plenty of employees who want to go, you know.”
Taehee was confused by Chief Choi’s answer, finding it surprisingly easy.
Is it really this simple?
“Will there be any disadvantages for me?”
“There won’t be any disadvantages that the company imposes on Assistant Min. However, Assistant Min might impose disadvantages on herself by giving up the shortcut to success.”
“…”
“Isn’t trying to juggle work and love too ambitious?”
“Thank you for your answer, Chief Executive Choi.”
Leaving the executive office, Taehee asked herself.
Why did she ask such a foolish question? She couldn’t even understand her own answer.
At that moment, her phone rang.
It was 10 minutes before lunchtime, and the caller was Sajun.
“Can’t make it on time? I have lunch from 12.”
Contrary to his words, there was a hint of laughter in his voice.
When Sajun confirmed the number of participants, Taehee felt a strange sense of pride.
“Why do you ask?”
[I ordered hotel lunch boxes for the department. Lunchtime is also a war, you know.]If the commute time was the first battle, lunchtime was the second battle.
Gangnam was densely packed with companies. Affordable and cheap restaurants were entirely given up.
Due to rising prices, employees demanded the return of the in-house cafeteria, and the company, listening to the employees’ opinions, was preparing to reintroduce it.
The timing was quite ironic; it was scheduled to open two months later when Taehee was leaving for France.
“So, is your intention to prevent me from going to war by ordering lunch delivery?”
[Working is hard, but wars should only be fought once a day.]
Having experienced the hellish commute today, he must have been thinking about it all morning.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
