“Director, this is Han Yerin, your new secretary.”
Yerin slightly raised her head and then bowed at a 90-degree angle, a gesture so exaggerated that anyone might question it. However, it was the best she could do to avoid showing her face.
Ihyeon, still looking at the bowed Yerin, chuckled softly.
“Secretary Choi, make sure to transfer everything without missing anything.”
“Of course.”
After glancing at Secretary Choi, Ihyeon issued some work orders and quickly entered his office to answer a call.
Secretary Choi, after the door closed, whispered to Yerin.
“The director can be quite cold, but if you do your job well, you’ll be able to work without any trouble.”
“Ah, yes.”
Secretary Choi, seemingly preoccupied with the fact that Ihyeon hadn’t properly greeted Yerin, repeatedly added that he was cold but not a bad person.
“It won’t be too difficult to work for him once you get used to it.”
There was a lack of conviction in Secretary Choi’s face as he said this.
Yerin, curious about why she was assigned here, asked Secretary Choi.
“But weren’t there far more remarkable people than me?”
“Well, yes, but…”
Secretary Choi moved closer and whispered as if sharing a secret.
“Director Cha specifically picked you, Yerin.”
“What?”
Yerin asked loudly in surprise and then quickly looked around.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I was just surprised.”
“It’s understandable. You’re known to be a highly capable secretary despite your lower seniority. Perhaps that’s why the director wanted you?”
It was a compliment, but Yerin couldn’t feel entirely happy.
‘Why did he specifically choose me?’
Did he recognize her? If so, she should submit her resignation immediately.
Despite her experience, Yerin felt tense because her new boss was Ihyeon.
The thought of a one-night stand with a boss she had to face every day at the company was overwhelming.
“Sigh.”
Just thinking about it made her sigh.
Secretary Choi, noticing Yerin’s sigh, quickly spoke up.
“I won’t completely step away, but you’ll be in charge of the director’s full-time support from now on.”
“Understood.”
“Yerin, the director has a bit of a perfectionist streak.”
As if it wasn’t uncomfortable enough.
Ihyeon was known for his meticulousness in work, not tolerating any half-heartedness.
“The initial period of getting in sync might be a bit tough.”
While saying this, Secretary Choi kept glancing at Yerin’s expression.
He worried whether Yerin would quit like his other replacements who couldn’t even last a week.
“It’s a bit scary, to be honest.”
“I’ll cover for you as much as I can while I’m handing over the duties.”
“Thank you.”
Meanwhile, Yerin’s desk intercom rang.
“You can answer it.”
Only Ihyeon would call her like this. Yerin, with trembling fingers, tried to suppress her nervousness and picked up the phone.
“Yes, Director Cha. This is Han Yerin.”
“Bring the report from the Product Planning Team right now.”
As soon as she hung up, Secretary Choi asked what the call was about.
“He wants the Product Planning Team’s report.”
“Ah, that…”
Secretary Choi’s face grew even more pale.
“It’s such a mess, he’ll just get angry if you take it like that.”
The meeting with the Product Planning Team was supposed to be tomorrow afternoon.
Why is he asking for the report right now? Secretary Choi quickly brought the printed report and gave Yerin a brief explanation.
Then, with a determined face, he said,
“Let’s go in together today.”
Knock-knock.
After Secretary Choi knocked, a low voice from inside beckoned them in.
Yerin, holding her hands tightly together, stepped into the office, feeling like a rabbit entering a tiger’s den.
Every time she would come to the office, she thought she might have to wear a mask to hide her identity, her heart was so troubled.
Fortunately, Ihyeon was still fixated on the document he was reviewing.
Secretary Choi carefully approached the desk and placed the report down.
“Director, here’s the report from the Product Planning Team.”
Only then did Ihyeon slowly lift his head.
His gaze was incredibly intellectual, yet cold at the same time.
A stark contrast to the look she had seen on him that night on the bed, making her doubt if it was the same person.
“Secretary Choi, you may leave.”
“What? No, I should stay to assist…”
“Han Yerin.”
Ihyeon finally shifted his gaze to Yerin.
Upon seeing her face, his eyes, which had been indifferent, flickered slightly.
“Yes, Director.”
Ihyeon didn’t respond.
Tap-tap.
Only the sound of him rhythmically tapping the desk with his index finger filled the office.
Yerin slowly straightened up.
His cool gaze was fixed on her.
Ihyeon, without any hesitation, asked.
“Have we met before?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
