“Baek Seo Rin… recently, she’s dating, isn’t she? What kind of guy is he?”
Surprisingly, Tae Joon was referred to as ‘guy’ by Jo Min Hyung. For a moment, strength flowed into the hand of Seo Rin holding a wine glass.
A different emotion settled into Seo Rin’s eyes, which had been fully armed with irritation to crush Min Hyung.
She was angry.
How dare a man like you use the term ‘guy’ to describe him unless you’re out of your mind.
“Guy, how classless.”
The words chewed out from her mouth made Min Hyung’s face turn pale instantly.
It was Seo Rin who had never shown anger, not even when she found out about his infidelity, not even when they were getting divorced. No, it would be more accurate to say that she didn’t show a hint of emotion.
She was like an emotionless, elegant swan. And that, in turn, provoked Min Hyung’s pathetic pride.
To Baek Seo Rin, Jo Min Hyung was less than the dust around her. It was a moment when he painfully realized how insignificant his existence was to her.
And yet, her eyes held a cold blade for him, a man whose face she didn’t even know well, just because he was referred to as a ‘guy’.
What exactly is he to you that you’re reacting this way?
At this point, he felt stubborn.
“Do I have to show respect to someone I don’t even know?”
“If you don’t know them, you should show more respect. Courtesy is a person’s dignity and character.”
“So now you’re saying my dignity and character are…”
“That man, he’s not so low as to be called ‘guy’ by you! And I don’t have any obligation to provide you with every detail of my love story just because you’re curious!”
“……”
“But if you really want to know, we should start with how different he is from you. How about it, shall we go on? Can you handle it?”
Seo Rin asked, leaning her chin on her hand with a slow movement. At that, Min Hyung flinched for a moment.
She was subtly warning him. Whether it would be okay to expose his truth in front of all these people.
It was a moment when he tried to take a shot at her, but ended up not even getting his original intention. Fortunately, at that time, his friends playing poker called him. It was an opportunity to avoid the embarrassment and crisis, so he didn’t hesitate and got up from the seat without any regret.
However, he didn’t forget to give Seo Rin a look full of anger and resentment as he turned around. Of course, she wasn’t the one to flinch at his gaze.
“Ah, my heart is pounding.”
“Yeah, mine too. Why did it have to coincide with the one day he shows up at the gathering?”
Their friends sighed in relief, patting their chests. However, when Min Hyung disappeared from the table, the atmosphere softened considerably. It was because no one irritated Seo Rin as much as Jo Min Hyung.
“I’m sorry. The mood was a bit off.”
“Do you really understand? Min Hyung sometimes can’t control himself. But, is it really true what Min Hyung said? Are you dating? Ah! Why… I’m just asking out of curiosity!”
“No, Seo Rin. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to talk about it yet. If you’re in a deep relationship, you’ll introduce him to us yourself. Right?”
She didn’t answer explicitly, but the others interpreted her silence as an affirmative response.
Watching her friends’ laughter, Seo Rin put down the wine glass she was holding and looked at Ha Rim. Coincidentally, Ha Rim was also looking at her, and their eyes met.
The two people, who grew up in the same environment but could never mix, met eyes.
Compared to the combative and proactive Seo Rin, Ha Rim was extremely submissive to her environment. Therefore, she was maintaining a threeyear engagement life without any problems with the eldest son of the Pharaoh Hotel arranged by her family.
Even though they had been together for three years, wouldn’t she know how her fiance’s company was running?
“How’s Pharaoh these days? I heard they’re participating in a private auction for a new hotel site.”
It’s just a conjecture, not a fact. The odds were 50 to 50.
Still, Seo Rin calmly cast the bait.
“Wow, that’s amazing! Is it true, Ha Rim? Isn’t Pharaoh doing too well these days? Seo Rin must be having a hard time?”
In her world, revealing one’s true feelings as they are was tantamount to a suicide act.
Sincerity tends to become extinct in a place full of hypocrisy and deceit.
So, Seo Rin wore the same mask of hypocrisy as them, hiding her true feelings.
“Pharaoh had a strong hold on Jeju before. So, our Sung Won had a hard time expanding to Jeju. Isn’t that right, Ha Rim?”
No one will leave me alone to climb on top of me.
Neither Jo Min Hyung nor President Baek.
Because the final winner will be me.
“Wow, Police Chief Heo Kyung Jun has a more extensive network than I thought, right? And his family ties too. That means there are plenty of characters around who could be bait.”
Sodam excitedly twinkled her eyes as she handed Tae Joon a map of Police Chief Heo Kyung Jun’s network she had created.
“No, why is the new secretary so happy?”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
