“Yoon, Yoon Seo Ha? Why would he ask an intern like Seo Ha about that?”
“I don’t know. He just asked me what the team leader had said, so I answered.”
Seo Ha’s gaze briefly drifted towards Ji Soo’s feet before returning to its original position.
“I’ll leave now.”
Ji Soo shivered alone in the empty conference room. She had a feeling she knew why Ryu Kyung Joon had asked the intern about Yoon Seo Ha.
“From the beginning, I had bad, bad luck.”
They looked alike.
Of course, not in appearance. There was no resemblance at all. However, the atmosphere they occasionally exuded reminded her of Yoon Seo Ha in some inexplicable way.
“I feel terrible……”
It was truly a spinechilling and unpleasant experience.
Ji Soo quickly got up, went to her seat, and grabbed her bag. With this feeling, she couldn’t handle the remaining work of the day.
“I’ll leave first.”
“What? Where are you going all of a sudden?”
“I have urgent business to attend to.”
The place Ji Soo headed to was a hospital. Normally, she would visit Hae Seon’s hospital room, pretending to be Yoon Seo Ha and flattering her, but today Ji Soo’s steps led her to Yoon Seo Ha’s room.
Knock, knock.
Not knowing if there was a caregiver present, she knocked on the door. There was no sound from inside.
Ji Soo cautiously opened the door and entered.
Yoon Seo Ha was in the bed placed in the center of the room. Even with an oxygen mask and an IV line attached to her whole body, she stubbornly clung to life like a zombie, making Ji Soo feel nauseous.
“Yoon Seo Ha.”
Seeing Yoon Seo Ha lying there like a corpse, Ji Soo felt half relieved and half angered. She quietly spoke to her.
“Just die already. You can’t do anything even if you wake up here. Your mom’s gone crazy, and I heard your brother sold the company. Why are you clinging to life when so many people would be relieved if you just died?”
Of course, Yoon Seo Ha didn’t respond, and only the irritating noise of the lifesustaining machines filled the room. Ji Soo glared at the steadily moving heart rate monitor screen and took a step closer to Yoon Seo Ha.
Yoon Seo Ha was still lying down, appearing to be asleep or dead, with a translucent oxygen mask attached.
Ji Soo’s hand touched the heart rate monitor. She hesitated for a moment and then quickly detached it.
At first, it was quiet. However.
BeepBeepBeepBeepBeep
The once peaceful heart rate monitor started to sound loud and rapid alarms. Ji Soo, startled, quickly reattached the oxygen mask and dashed out of the hospital room.
“That was close.”
Ji Soo brushed her chest, watching the doctors rushing to Yoon Seo Ha’s room.
At that moment, in the office.
“…… Are you okay?”
Seo Ha opened her eyes wide at the sound of her own name being called.
What happened? She was sure she had been working just a moment ago.
“Is something wrong? Do you feel dizzy?”
Joo Hee asked worriedly. Seo Ha slowly lifted her head and looked around while rubbing her somewhat cold forehead. She was still in the office, sitting side by side with Hwang Joo Hee at the workstations.
“What did I do?”
“You suddenly collapsed forward. It’s a good thing you were sitting at the desk. Are you anemic?”
“Ah. I see.”
Seo Ha made an excuse about her anemia and stood up from her seat.
“I’ll go get some water.”
Cold sweat formed on her back, and her heart pounded heavily. Seo Ha rubbed her chest, trying to recall the scene that had just brushed past her like a hallucination.
“It was definitely… a hospital room.”
Her chest felt heavy, and her breath was caught in her throat. She tried to open her mouth to scream, but no sound came out. It was exactly the same as when she had briefly woken up in Yoon Seo Ha’s body in the hospital room.
Then, for a moment, she opened her eyes very briefly.
Ji Soo reached out to her with a terrified expression. The very next moment, Seo Ha came to her senses in the office.
What was that? A hallucination?
Seo Ha still felt dazed as she took a sip of cold water.
Wait a moment.
Didn’t Ji Soo leave with her bag earlier?
She looked at the clock, and it had been almost an hour since Ji Soo left. That was precisely the time it took to get from here to the hospital.
Lee Seung Oh received a call from Ji Soo and left work early. Kyung Joon, who still had work to do, remained at the company, and thanks to that, he had a rare, comfortable evening.
“They sure take their share of the incentives with these sales.”
He grumbled to himself while looking at the documents.
Unbeknownst to him, Kyung Joon was sincere in protecting the company. The pretext of “pleasing Chairman Ryu to sell it to Taeyang Group” had long since evaporated.
Ring. Ring.
An unwelcome phone call rang. Kyung Joon cleared his throat and pressed the call button.
“Yes, Chairman.”
[Cut the acquisition price in half for the next negotiation.]Chairman Ryu gave an abrupt order.
“Do you mean half of the initial price you suggested?”
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.”
