Admiring the splendidly embroidered logo, the woman entered the expansive lobby.
“Welcome.”
With the prompt reception of the guide, the woman accompanied the staff, and as they ascended to the top floor of the building, unlike the flashy logo at the building entrance, a substantial nameplate was visible.
Always flawless.
Knock, knock.
“Come in.”
A voice with a weight that matched the nameplate resonated. The secretary withdrew, leaving the woman alone. Yoon Myeonggil, the chairman, sat on the sofa with an expressionless face in the woman’s eyes.
The reason Yoon Seo came to this place now was because of Yoon Myeonggil’s summons. Contrary to what she thought, that she would be called immediately after the incident in Daechi-dong involving Haeyeon, Yoon Myeonggil only called Yoon Seo after a whole month had passed.
“I don’t think I wouldn’t have noticed. You must not have thought I would make this public.”
Yoon Seo momentarily flinched at Yoon Myeonggil’s icy voice, but she didn’t cower. Yoon Seo didn’t think that Chairman Yoon wouldn’t know about the ‘accident’ where she pushed Haeyeon down the stairs, just as Chairman Yoon said.
Chairman Yoon had built a robust fortress that no one could overlook. Could anyone expect that she, who rigorously managed even trivial figures associated with Daechi-dong, wouldn’t know what happened inside? Especially an accident.
“Still, I don’t intend to make your mistake public.”
Yoon Seo responded to Chairman Yoon’s sharp words with silence. There was nothing wrong with what she said.
When she decided to push Haeyeon down, Yoon Seo chose Daechi-dong as the venue, considering that there would be too many variables if the incident happened externally.
Unlike the chaotic external environment, Daechi-dong, thoroughly controlled, was entirely under Chairman Yoon’s grasp.
In other words, everything happening in Daechi-dong was known only to ‘Chairman Yoon,’ which also meant that if Yoon Myeonggil allowed it, it would pass.
Of course, it was far from easy.
“You’ve handled it well. Yes, even if Min Haeyeon’s child dies, it’s none of my business.”
Min Haeyeon’s child. Yoon Myeonggil said so. From the beginning, to her, who only intended to drive away Min Haeyeon, Min Haeyeon’s child was only a bothersome existence.
If she were to have a child with her devoted wife, once she had a child, there would be even more reason to protect Min Haeyeon more steadfastly than before.
Moreover, Chairman Yoon used Yoon Seo as a shield to block Cha Dohoon. As the eldest son of Gilmyeong Group, who was constantly targeted by the media, Yoon Seo still had some usefulness.
Above all, the traffic accident. Because there was almost an incident that would have caused a stir in the world due to Cha Dohoon’s accident, Chairman Yoon hoped that even a minor accident would not happen anymore. Moreover, if it happened at her own house, would there be any reason to stir it up?
Of course, no matter what, the most crucial reason would be Min Haeyeon herself.
“But, only once. If you make a mistake like this twice, at that time, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
Of course, regardless of what it is, the most crucial reason is Min Haeyeon herself.
“But only once. If you make a mistake like this twice, at that time, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
Although Yoon Seo wanted Chairman Yoon to ultimately attribute it to an ‘accident’ and not take it lightly, it didn’t mean she was dismissive.
“If you’ve used me, you should pay the price.”
Yoon Seo shivered at the more chilling voice than the cold one. She clenched her teeth until her mouth almost burst.
“From now on, stay quiet.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Yoon Myeonggil made it clear that whoever used him would pay the price. Yoon Seo snapped to attention. The scope of Chairman Yoon’s instruction to stay quiet seemed to contain only one fact at first glance, but, in fact, it had two meanings.
One was a plea not to cause such incidents again, and the other was an order not to interfere with Cha Dohoon’s path.
“I will keep that in mind.”
Yoon Seo responded politely. Just making Min Haeyeon unhappy was enough for her, so she engraved Chairman Yoon’s words into her mind.
“Absolutely not, Master!”
“Dr. Moon. Please reconsider.”
When the mild-mannered Dr. Moon flatly refused, the child with Cha Dohoon got upset. No matter what, he tried to persuade her, but ironically, Dr. Moon was the one who requested it.
“I’ve dissuaded you several times from excessive rehabilitation training and an unreasonable early discharge. Still, Master stubbornly went ahead.”
Dr. Moon’s words recounting Dohoon’s past actions were not false. Especially when Dohoon wanted to be discharged, Dr. Moon had almost torn her hair out.
Although Dohoon’s body had not fully recovered, the biggest problem was that the moment he was discharged, he would forget about his painful body and move recklessly.
Even in a situation where he couldn’t control his body properly, Dohoon insisted on working in the hospital room.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
