“So… the process… we need to proceed, Executive Director.”
“…”
“Executive Director?”
Even though all the situation reports had ended, Team Leader Woo called Seo Rin who had nothing much to say. Only then did Seo Rin, who seemed to have lost her soul, regain her focus and clarity in her eyes.
“Ah, what did you just say?”
It was a very important meeting. A crucial meeting that determined whether she could secure the business rights of the theme hotel she was ambitiously pushing for.
If this project was successful, no one could dare to attribute her success to luck, its success was that important.
But during such a meeting, she lost her focus several times.
She couldn’t hold back her trembling emotions as the cold image of Tae Joon vividly came to mind, even though she tried to forget.
She was scared.
She was afraid that his hot body temperature would really cool down like that.
She was afraid that the dream would become reality.
“I’m sorry. I have a bit of a headache…”
She was terrified to the point of trembling.
However, all the pain and torment were her portion.
The real world spun relentlessly.
“Well, so if we win the bid for that site, we have the business rights, but it seems like a new competitor has appeared. It seems like they’ve registered as a candidate belatedly, but the information is being carried out nonpublicly so I don’t know who it is.”
As if it wouldn’t spare her circumstances, a new rival appeared and another crisis approached.
She was suffocating.
Still, she couldn’t afford to act out of exhaustion.
Who could she tell that people who died in her dreams appeared, and even yesterday, a living person appeared dead?
It was her secret that she couldn’t even tell to the deceased Chairman Baek.
Others wouldn’t understand her, who was still living in her dreams. No, they might even point fingers and laugh.
The Seo Rin they knew was not a woman wandering in dreams, but an iron lady who ruled reality.
“It’s probably either Jeil or Pharaoh.”
As always, Seo Rin had to endure everything alone today.
“So, we need to know exactly who it is to formulate a strategy.”
“Don’t worry, Team Leader Woo. I’ll find out. Let’s plan again after finding out who the new bid candidate is. Now, let’s wrap up today’s meeting here. You’ve worked hard.”
Seo Rin held her place in the conference room until her team members scattered after the final greeting. Only after they all disappeared did she release the breath she had been holding, rubbing her throbbing temples.
“Sigh…”
A cup of steaming coffee was placed in front of her, with the sound of someone approaching.
Looking up, it was Director Park.
“Thank you.”
She didn’t know how many cups of coffee she had had today. But despite excessive caffeine intake, she couldn’t stop. Caffeine was the only thing that kept her sanity intact.
But.
“Um, why does this taste like this?”
“It’s decaffeinated coffee.”
Even Director Park betrays her.
“I’m holding on with the power of caffeine, what do I do if you give me decaf?”
“Executive Director, this is your eighth cup of coffee today. You’ve consumed enough caffeine to keep you up for two nights. So now, even if it tastes bad, drink for the form. It seems like you can keep your eyes open only if you’re drinking something.”
Anyway, Director Park’s eyes were too sharp to avoid.
“I need to leave work a bit early today. Oh, and can we postpone tomorrow’s afternoon meeting?”
“We could move it to next week… Are you not feeling well?”
“No, it’s not that. I think I have to attend the horse riding club meeting tomorrow.”
Director Park frowned for a moment. He knew better than anyone what the horse riding club she was talking about was.
The horse riding club she belonged to was a social club disguised as a hobby.
A luxurious party of the socalled successful second generation conglomerates who, when they met once a month, did not horse ride but held a heavy drinking party and had no spare time to show off what they had.
Of course, Seo Rin was not at all interested in that and only attended once or twice a year, but she couldn’t ignore it. Because there were few places where she could naturally obtain overflowing information as much as that gathering.
Although he was worried about her condition due to the nightmare, Director Park couldn’t dare intervene.
Just silently assisting her,
“Yes, understood.”
That was all he could do.
After the meeting with Director Park, Tae Joon stayed alone and had another drink. Before he knew it, it was already past five in the afternoon.
Upon arriving at the apartment parking lot and paying the substitute driver, his phone, tucked inside his suit, rang loudly.
Perhaps due to the alcohol, the sound of the phone ringing seemed like a hysterical scream. Checking the phone, the culprit was So Dam.
Only then did Tae Joon recall that So Dam had called a few times earlier. The calls he couldn’t answer because he was mentally and physically drained were still ringing.
As always, So Dam who didn’t know to give up.
She would continue until he answered.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
