Doha thoroughly planned for that contract. Since Chairman Yoon would use any means to take advantage even after the goal was achieved and the contract expired, exploiting Haeyeon.
After that, Doha worked tirelessly day and night. On the day the contract ended, he aimed to gain the strength to shake off Chairman Yoon on his own.
Industry 3rd place.
To hold a very small company that couldn’t even present business cards in that industry within the palm of his hand, Doha had to put in several times, sometimes tens of times, more effort. The harsh schedule and frequent business trips during the ironic three years of regret, frustration, self-blame, and discouragement were essential.
Despite that, he had to keep smiling in front of Haeyeon.
“Doha, what should we name our child?”
Upon hearing Haeyeon’s words, who couldn’t take her eyes off the ultrasound photo on the day she returned from the hospital after the examination, Doha made a resolution. Now, he really had to cut off ties with Chairman Yoon.
Because there was one more person to protect. But why did his shoulders feel lighter than ever?
In the early summer season, Doha couldn’t control the corners of his mouth. Anyone who knew him, a person who was inexperienced in expressing emotions, or rather, didn’t express them at all, couldn’t help but be astonished by his smiling lips several times a day.
As it was her first pregnancy, and because Doha couldn’t trust Chairman Yoon, he didn’t inform anyone about Haeyeon’s pregnancy, except for Dr. Moon.
“What good thing happened to you?”
Among the people who didn’t know why Doha has been laughing frequently lately, Yunho, including Yoonho, was included. Knowing his mischievous nature and unpredictable personality, it was unavoidable.
“Nothing.”
Saying so indifferently, Doha’s laid-back attitude even made Yunho shake his head.
Doha’s concentration easily wavered even during work.
“CEO?”
“Yes.”
It wasn’t until Secretary Kim called for him again while reporting the schedule that he snapped back to reality. Although he believed he was focused, he unknowingly drifted into thoughts about Haeyeon.
On the one hand, he blamed himself. Even if Haeyeon was pregnant, the current situation he faced wouldn’t change.
Now was the time he needed to be most attentive, but he had become too distracted. Realizing that he needed to work harder to escape from Chairman Yoon’s malevolent clutches and secure the safety of his wife and child, Doha regained his focus.
“Haha. Representative Cha, entrusting our Pyeongtaek and leaving other competitive companies aside.”
Even though he spoke lightly with a smile, Doha, understanding the underlying meaning and pressure within, respectfully nodded.
“I will achieve more than you expected.”
The time Chairman Yoon gave him was five years. After efforts to shorten it by even a single day, he managed to advance it by two years. If he successfully concluded the Pyeongtaek consortium, along with the accomplishments he had achieved so far, Doha could aim for Chairman Yoon’s set goals and even greater ones.
“You’ve worked hard. CEO.”
Secretary Kim said with a face full of gratitude. Doha’s face also showed a faint sense of anticipation.
It was almost there.
Independence from the Cha family car and a tomorrow where he could protect Haeyeon entirely.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
