“Then, Ms. Chae Sira, what tasks did you stay back to work on that day?”
“Um…”
Since she didn’t really work properly, she had no memory of it, but Sira quickly blurted out as a quick response.
“I stayed to work on revising the new product proposal. There were a lot of modifications.”
Sira smirked while adding another layer to her scheme.
“If you’re curious, would you like to see that file?”
“Okay.”
The audit team leader opened another file and placed it in front of Sira.
“This… Why is this here?”
Sira stuttered, her eyes widening as she checked the file handed by the audit team leader.
With an expressionless face, the audit team leader asked in a low, even voice, “Ms. Chae Sira, there seem to be some inaccuracies in your memory. Would you like me to explain?”
“Oh, yes.”
Kindly gesturing with his hand, the audit team leader explained about the elevator and lobby floor CCTV footage that shouldn’t be here.
The date and time were kindly displayed at the bottom of the screen.
“Now, if you look here, Ms. Jin Taeyeon was in the lobby on the first floor at the time you mentioned.”
Trying to hide her surprise, Sira awkwardly responded, “Haha. I’m not someone who constantly keeps track of Director Jin Taeyeon’s every move. Can’t there be a little difference in time like this?”
Rather than finding it strange, Sira rattled on, questioning if it wasn’t even more suspicious to remember details so precisely.
Whether she spoke or not, the audit team leader remained emotionless, like a person from whom no emotion could be drawn even if pricked with a needle.
“We find it strange as well. Director Jin Taeyeon had already left, yet an email was sent from her computer afterward.”
The audit team leader’s chilling gaze fell on Sira.
There were many things she wanted to say, but seeing the restraint made it visible, so Sira tensed up.
On that day, after that time.
I was the only one in the new business team office.
If I handle this poorly, I might end up being blamed for what I did.
Rubbing the back of her head with one hand, Sira spoke.
“Well, it’s not like I sent a reserved email or something.”
The audit team leader turned to the next page, showing data indicating the time Taeyeon’s computer was shut down.
“According to this record, Director Jin Taeyeon’s computer was turned off after that time, during the period when only Ms. Chae Sira was left in the office.”
Sira seemed to understand the meaning behind those words very well.
However, she pretended not to and smiled awkwardly as if she didn’t understand.
“I have no idea about any of this.”
Then she added another layer.
“I was just working hard, wanting to get promoted.”
“I see.”
The audit team leader, without further words, neatly folded several files and got up from his seat.
“Ms. Chae Sira, thank you for your time.”
Sira stood up with a bewildered expression.
“Is it over?”
“Yes.”
Although it was fortunate that he didn’t ask me any more questions, there was an indescribable uneasiness.
The most troubling thing was the CCTV footage in the hands of the audit team leader.
Even though it seemed like the records of that day were all erased.
I was impatient not knowing what happened.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Sira quickly left the audit team office, heading for the emergency stairs instead of the elevator.
As she forcefully closed the door, she dialed a number, sounding a bit anxious.
A few beeps sounded, and the voice of the tired person on the other end came through.
Why from the morning?
“Hey, Jin Taejin!”
Ah, why are you yelling like that?
Sira sighed and spoke.
“Weren’t we supposed to erase the company CCTV that day?”
Yeah, we did. I asked a competent hacker to do it.
“You didn’t check it properly.”
Huh?
“The audit team has that CCTV.”
What are you talking about! We clearly reported that it was deleted.
Sira swept her bangs forcefully with one hand and pounded the wall with her fist.
“I just came back from being summoned by the audit team. They don’t even consider it was something Jin Taeyeon did.”
What? No, why?
“They have the CCTV! So they know that Jin Taeyeon left the office before sending the email?”
What are you saying? We deleted the CCTV.
Even though they were talking to each other, their words didn’t connect at all.
This made Sira even more frustrated.
“I was the only one left in the office that day, so if this continues, I might get caught for what I did!”
No, that’s impossible. Cut off the call for now.
After ending the call, Sira kicked the wall with her shoe.
“Ah, dang.”
In excruciating pain, trying to endure the sound, she hopped around on one foot.
Someone descended the stairs.
Sira didn’t hear the footsteps, still waiting for the call from Taejin while soothing her painful foot.
“Why isn’t he calling?”
“Manager Chae.”
“…….,”
Startled by the chilly voice behind her, Sira dropped her phone.
Unfortunately, at the same time, calls started coming in from Taejin.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
