“You chose the wedding ring that I received?”

My head went blank for a moment at the fact that Seo Rin was the one who chose the ring.

“No, I added one more to the pair of rings in the world that were only meant for you.”

I didn’t sense a bit of gray in what Seo Rin said.

Rather, the days I had spent with her overlapped on the face of Seo Rin, who was looking at me as if it was pathetic.

There was a significant backlash against me when I became the youngest anchor of the evening news.

To the point that I could feel the hostility of people every time I walked around.

Seo Rin was the first to approach me, who was monitoring for the next day’s news after the latenight broadcast ended.

“Anchor, would you like to have a sandwich with me?”

“Don’t mind the people. They’ll open their hearts soon. Once you get close with the news team, they’re deeper than anyone else.”

“You’re doing well. You’re trying harder than anyone else. I believe that sincerity will reach out. So, fighting!”

At first, I didn’t know Seo Rin was a contract worker.

I was doing it to do better on my own, but I always wondered why Seo Rin stayed so late.

The fact that she took care of me even though she was busy herself opened the door to my heart.

“Seo Rin, how about this dress?”

“Sis, you’re really beautiful. I want to get married too.”

“Do you have someone to do it with? But isn’t this dress too tight?”

“No, hehe. But the luxurious atmosphere of the dress suits you so well.”

Seo Rin was the first person I became close to in the broadcasting station.

The fact that she, who knew each other’s innermost thoughts well enough, was my husband’s mistress was hard to bear at first.

I woke up from a nightmarelike memory.

Seo Rin, who was standing in front of me now, was intoxicated with the joy of having defeated me.

For a moment, I was angry when I found out that Seo Rin had chosen the wedding ring,

I felt that she was so impatient that she had to provoke me with a shallow trick of deliberately leaving the ring in the chef’s kitchen.

‘Seo Ji Han is feeling insecure?’

As I felt pathetic, my anger subsided as if it had never been there.

I gave Seo Rin a calm smile.

“So, that means a lot to you?”

Seo Rin furrowed her brow at my reaction, which was different from what she expected.

“If it were me, I would have loathed it. You can’t even show off such a ring. It would be embarrassing.”

“I’m not embarrassed? The original owner of this ring is not you, but me.”

She answered with an indifferent face, but I could see Seo Rin tightly clenching the hand with the ring.

“Really? I thought you were too quiet for your character after receiving such an expensive thing.”

I looked at Seo Rin with narrow eyes and smirked maliciously.

Suddenly, Jae Ha, who had approached, held my hand with a look that said we should go.

“So, I thought you were also ashamed of sharing a ring with me.”

“…What, what?”

Unable to make sense of it, I continued speaking towards Seo Rin.

It’s not me who’s a mess, it’s you.

“No, I forgot. You originally liked halves, didn’t you?”

“…What do you mean.”

“You, you tried to share my fiancé, didn’t you?”

.

.

.

It was in the car heading home from the studio.

Jae Ha glanced at me occasionally while focusing on driving.

“Those two really have some nerve, don’t they? Are you okay?”

I slowly shook my head.

I faced Seo Rin with a calm smile, but inside, I was burning black.

“Right. Of course you’re not okay. I asked a foolish question.”

Jae Ha also seemed to agree that he had asked an obvious question.

“Has the incident where you were trapped in the underground studio at the broadcasting station not been resolved yet?”

“Yes. According to one secretary, the CCTV footage wasn’t recorded.”

“It’s predictable. Seems like that woman knows how to be cunning.”

Whether it was premeditated or not, Seo Rin had thoroughly destroyed the evidence more than I thought.

“What are you going to do?”

I fell into thought at the faintly asked question from Jae Ha.

I was pondering about what to do about the underground studio incident, where only circumstantial evidence existed.

‘I didn’t intend to bring that up.’

Seeing Seo Rin scratching people’s insides with her brazen face, I made up my mind.

I decided to put an end to the lingering concern that had been left like homework.

‘Just as well, a good idea came to me.’

“Tomorrow, Ho Jin Construction is launching a new brand apartment, right?”

“Ho Jin Construction? Ah. You mean Traum. It’s a large project that Ji Han is running with his name on it.”

It seemed that Jae Ha remembered then, nodding and answering.

So, as I thought, Ji Han’s ambitious new brand apartment Traum was scheduled to be unveiled.

“I think I might give those two a gift.”

At my unexpected words, Jae Ha turned his head towards me in surprise.

“A gift?”

“Yes. Since they’re getting married, I should give them a suitable gift.”

Jae Ha’s eyes sparkled intriguingly as he glanced at me, seemingly quite interested.

“I’m excited. I wonder what the gift will be.”

“You can look forward to it.”

The moment I closed my eyes, the ring on Seo Rin’s ring finger was vividly depicted as if it were right in front of me.

Shining with a dazzling light.

Monday morning.

The news item meeting was in full swing in the conference room.

As the meeting dragged on longer than expected, a few people were sneaking glances at the clock hanging on the wall.

“Shall we take a break?”

“Yoon Anchor, that’s a good idea.”

At the mention of a break, the staff put down the documents they were holding.

Pulling out my phone, I saw a message from Jae Ha.

[Won’t you tell me what the gift is? Jae Ha] [It’s not something dangerous, is it? Jae Ha]

“Wow, it seems Ho Jin Construction launched a new apartment brand?”

“Yes. It’s been plastered all over the portal sites since this morning.”

I paused my text conversation with Jae Ha and opened a portal site to see a news article immediately.

[A new apartment brand that brings ‘dreams’ to households, Ho Jin Construction’s ‘Traum’ launches.]

I smirked at the phrase “an apartment for newlyweds”, reminded of Ji Han’s infidelity.

I knew well that in his previous life, Ji Han had put a lot of effort into launching this new brand.

‘You were so desperate that you even hosted social service activities yourself.’

Of course, it was probably to solidify his position as the successor.

The moment I picked up the coffee cup on the table, dozens of messages started pouring into my phone screen.

“What’s this group message, did some exclusive news break?”

All the news team members who were sitting in front seemed to have received the same message as they looked at their phones.

And as if on cue, everyone’s eyes were drawn to me all at once.

‘The article has been released. Good timing.’

It seemed that Uncle Hyun Ik had released the article just in time.

For a moment, as I met the stunned gazes of the people, I heard Senior Young Joon’s trembling voice.

“What is this? Wait a minute. Yeo Jin, have you seen this?”

He thrust his phone towards me with a shocked look on his face.

I smiled faintly as I looked at the article that appeared on the phone screen.

[The union of Ho Jin & W families, finally meets its downfall. Is the reason for the divorce due to CEO Seo’s extramarital affair?] [The marriage debacle of the century, the union of the W family and Ho Jin family ends in divorce.]

By now, Ji Han, who would be gnashing his teeth in the executive meeting room, was vividly pictured in my mind.

It’s a pity. If it weren’t for this article, your plan today would have been perfect.

‘Have I messed up your plan?’

This time, the blow must be severe.
