“To summarize, yesterday I was continuously in a receiving position.”
Lee Hyun stared at the hands he held with Yerin, expressionless.
“One secretary tried to seduce me aggressively.”
“Uh, Director.”
Yerin, who had been silent, bit her lip and called him.
“Yes. Speak.”
“I kind of remember hearing the story.”
“All of it?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Lee Hyun’s face was intrigued by this as well.
“I’m really sorry for grabbing your hand first and pressing your lips, Director.”
“No, I liked it. Why apologize for such trivial skinship between lovers?”
“But I didn’t get your consent.”
“It’s okay.”
Lee Hyun laughed generously, seeming very understanding.
“I’ll do the same thing twice next time without the consent of a secretary.”
“…”
I couldn’t even say not to do it because of what I had done.
Yerin could only nod her head.
“But, Director. We’ve never kissed, have we?”
“We have.”
“What?”
Lee Hyun stared at her with intense eyes, as if trying to penetrate Yerin’s thoughts.
“I haven’t.”
“Really?”
“There hasn’t been such a situation.”
Although their breaths were mixed on the night they first met, she swore they hadn’t done it yesterday.
Yerin was in a state of tension, not knowing what words would come out of Lee Hyun’s mouth.
Lee Hyun slowly swept his chin with one hand.
Gradually, his lips opened.
“Is that so.”
“Yes, there isn’t.”
“If one secretary says there isn’t, I conclude there was an error in my memory.”
Fortunately, he seemed to admit his mistake by saying he had misunderstood.
Lee Hyun let go of the hand he was holding with Yerin and returned to his desk.
Taking a short breath, Yerin followed him.
Lee Hyun handed her the contract he had stamped yesterday.
“As stated there, we will spend an hour together every day.”
“Yes. But what if you have to go on a business trip or something, and we can’t be together?”
“How about accumulating points like building up mileage?”
“That’s good too.”
“But that’s not likely to happen often.”
“You have a lot of business trips, don’t you, Director?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Lee Hyun raised his eyebrows, looking as if it wasn’t a problem at all.
“By the way, for those business trips, one secretary will always accompany me.”
“…”
“Working and dating. What a great thing, office romance.”
Lee Hyun seemed very satisfied.
When Yerin accepted the dating contract, Lee Hyun asked casually.
“One secretary, do you have plans for tonight?”
“No, I don’t.”
It was the first day of fake dating, and Yerin, who didn’t know what orders might come, usually avoided making plans on weekdays.
“I have somewhere to go after work. Can you make time?”
“Yes. Where should we go?”
“I moved a secretary’s mother’s hospital this morning.”
At that statement, Yerin’s eyelashes, which had been calm all along, trembled.
So quickly?
Of course, I don’t doubt Lee Hyun’s handling of the matter, but I was curious about how he knew the information that only Pyeong-hoon knew.
Looking at Yerin’s expression, Lee Hyun smirked.
“I didn’t find out through illegal means.”
“Oh, I see.”
“When I asked one CEO, he willingly told me.”
“Our father?”
“Yes.”
Yerin’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Why are you so surprised?”
If he was going to easily give information about the hospital to Lee Hyun, I resented why he had hidden it from me for so long.
Another reason for surprise was that Lee Hyun had contacted Pyeong-hoon separately.
“Did you become close with our father?”
“Well, you could say that.”
“Ah…”
Yerin chewed her lips finely.
Although he was her father, she didn’t want him to be with Lee Hyun.
“Director, this may sound strange, but…”
Lee Hyun silently waited for Yerin to speak.
“If our father happens to bring up business or investment talk…”
“Yes?”
“Don’t listen and reject it, please.”
“Why?”
“Yes?”
“Can’t you listen? He’s my girlfriend’s father.”
Yerin discreetly checked the firmly closed office door.
She thought it was fortunate that there was no sign of it at the company.
Due to the way he referred to her as his girlfriend or lover, sweat started to form on her back.
Unaware of Yerin’s situation, Lee Hyun tilted his head leisurely.
“Personally, I enjoy investing in good business ideas.”
That’s why it became more of a problem.
All the business ideas Pyeong-hoon presented were either outdated or unprofitable.
Seemingly understanding what Yerin was worrying about, Lee Hyun stood up as if he would.
“One secretary, do you think I would unconditionally invest just because it’s a secretary’s father?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
On the contrary, he didn’t want to invest.
“When it comes to business, I don’t mix personal emotions.”
“Well, that’s fortunate.”
“One secretary, don’t think of anything else.”
Lee Hyun approached Yerin, circling around the desk.
“I just want you to think about what kind of date you want to have with me.”
“…”
“What kind of man is close to the ideal type of one secretary.”
Lee Hyun smiled intoxicatingly, almost fatally.
“That’s all I want you to think about.”
Even that seemed questionable.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
