On Monday morning, Taehee went straight to Director Choi.
“So, Director Choi, can you cancel the business trip that Director Min mentioned, saying she can’t go for the remaining month?”
The look in Director Choi’s eyes, questioning Taehee’s recent words, was chilling. It was justifiable, and Taehee had nothing to say, just bowing her head.
“I’m sorry, Director.”
“You said it wasn’t like that before, but did Director Min also choose love in the end?”
Should I speak or not? After countless considerations, Taehee decided that speaking was the right choice in Director Choi’s case.
So, Taehee calmly spoke up, “It’s not love, but choosing the child in my womb.”
At the mention of the child, Director Choi’s gaze shifted to Taehee’s still-flat belly.
“You said it wasn’t love last time, but now you’ve chosen Director Min.”
Taehee apologized once again. She knew how much Director Choi had tried to push her away.
Looking out the window with narrow eyes, then turning his gaze back, Director Choi sighed like a breath.
“Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do. You can’t go on a business trip in your pregnant state. Should I prepare a wedding invitation too?”
“If I get married, I will give one to Director Choi first.”
Director Choi was deeply surprised. Taehee calmly received his gaze and continued, “I want to get married, but the situation may prevent it.”
Pressing on her temple with her fingertips, Director Choi mumbled.
Always, only women suffer, he said.
“Even if you can’t get married, you’ll have the child?”
“Yes.”
“My goodness. It won’t be easy to raise a child alone.”
A sense of pity crept into Director Choi’s gaze.
It was more like a concern from a senior colleague and a close sister who had been watching Taehee since her rookie days than sympathy.
“It will be tough. But Director Choi, I believe you made a similar choice.”
When Taehee smiled brightly with tense eyes, Director Choi couldn’t help but smile back, unable to stop himself.
However, soon he opened his mouth with a stern expression.
“Be prepared, Director Min. Don’t even dream of a rapid promotion.”
“I don’t dare to hope for it. And I’m truly sorry to disappoint you, Director.”
“It’s about time you disappointed me, Director Min.”
“…Yes?”
“You return your summer vacation every year, don’t use your annual leave, don’t take menstrual leave, and have been absent on holidays for the six years you’ve been with the company, except for public holidays.”
Recently, she took leave because of Sajun. Taehee muttered inwardly.
“Is that all? You excel in your work, learn quickly, teach others well, and have good manners. Now you need to receive my disapproval appropriately.”
Contrary to his words, Director Choi’s gaze on Taehee was warm.
“That’s it. You can leave now.”
As Director Choi stood up, Taehee also stood up, about to leave the office.
“Director Min.”
When she turned around, Director Choi was already sitting at his desk, flipping through documents, not even giving her a glance, and spoke in a business-like tone.
“I inquired with the HR team and applied for maternity leave, childcare leave, and personal leave. It means finding out what’s most efficient.”
“I’ll do that.”
Taehee left the office with a light heart. Nevertheless, she felt like she hadn’t lived her life in vain, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Even though there were still many headaches, Taehee decided to tackle them one by one, shouting “Fighting!” to herself.
During the languid afternoon lunch break, Taehee sat on a bench sipping barley tea instead of coffee, organizing her thoughts.
Since she had already informed the company that she wouldn’t go on a business trip, the only ones left were Min Seontae and Kang Sajun.
In fact, Song Jehyun couldn’t even be considered in the equation. After stopping her tears last night, he treated Jehyun as if she were invisible and came home.
Since she might come back with hope if treated appropriately, Taehee decided to ignore her completely.
Looking up at the sky, Taehee let out a deep sigh. “It’s too tangled to reclaim the name.”
The moment she tried to find the name ‘Min Yeonseo,’ everything she had built up so far under the name ‘Min Taehee’ collapsed like a landslide.
All the specs, images, and even this company.
Hyesook also said she didn’t want it anymore. She didn’t want to be tied to that person as his wife, and there was no lingering affection.
So, it was better to just go her own way without bothering about such a trivial name.
However, now that she knew about Hyesook’s unjust life, Taehee wanted to fulfill the only wish she had held for a long time.
Grandfather’s house, full of memories.
If she couldn’t find it, Hyesook would not be able to rest peacefully until she died.
Despite thinking all night, there was only one conclusion. If she married Sajun, everything would be resolved.
Sajun was a man she loved and the father of the child.
If Sajun set his mind to it, finding that house and land for Seontae would be a piece of cake.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
