Now that a problem had occurred, Jua’s anger towards those who had ignored her words for so long, combined with relief that they could change the lottery system even now, were evident.
The swift resolution of Kim Hyunwoo was due to the fact that he was an internal employee and clear evidence had emerged, and the quick action of the upper management also played a role. It was the result of immediate handling due to their clear mistakes.
Haeyeon’s thoughts were seasoned with an additional touch to the result. The Jua siblings, who had shown an uneasy demeanor for several days, might have intervened in the recklessness of the incident. Salt and pepper, as she speculated.
“Ms. Min Haeyeon, I’m sorry. I had no idea.”
Donghoon Park, who had questioned Haeyeon on the day of the incident, voluntarily sought forgiveness. Even the colleagues who had regarded her uncomfortably extended consolation and apologies.
There were still those who remained in ignorance until the end, but Haeyeon felt sufficiently reassured by the colleagues who heard the truth and acknowledged their preconceptions.
Shingyusik couldn’t shake off the unpleasant feeling throughout.
You, XX. You’re in trouble!
The sudden intrusion of Kim Hyunwoo the day before, grabbing Shingyusik by the collar, screamed out. Even Kim Hyunwoo, who usually managed his image thoroughly, was not in his right mind in front of everyone when the truth was exposed.
“XX.”
Shingyusik, who spat out a curse, recalled the appointment he had today and deliberately calmed his face. Min Haeyeon, who loudly declared that she would definitely settle the bill, immediately arranged for a new meeting.
Although it would have been better if it were a higher-ranking person like Seol Jua, who was a friend of Director Seol Jua of Dallikoffee, whether the fact that she was friends with Min Haeyeon was true or not, Shingyusik knew that, given his current position, Director Seol was influential enough.
As they went to the promised place, Seol Yujun, who didn’t fit in with the neighborhood pub, was sitting deep inside.
“I heard the explanation from Ms. Min Haeyeon.”
After a few rounds of drinks, Seol Yujun got to the point. Internally waiting for when he would bring up the conversation, Shingyusik inwardly sighed in relief at his words.
“Yes, Kim Hyunwoo’s misconduct.”
“I’m not very familiar with Korean culture. I’ve been in the UK for a long time.”
Interrupting Shingyusik, who was trying to boast about his achievements and earn his share, Yujun lightly cut him off. That, too, was an unexpected topic.
“So, Team Leader Shin. Are you going to punish him for this?”
“Punish? What the…”
In response to the unexpected words, Shingyusik, who frowned, widened his eyes in disbelief. Scenes like this were somehow familiar.
“Fortunately, you’re not completely clueless. Well, that’s why you could play the role of a dog in someone else’s house.”
“Director Seol!”
Unlike the dismal Shingyusik, Yujun smiled as he poured soju. Although his unique atmosphere from long-term overseas study did not match soju, there was no one to evaluate that now.
“The reward for handing over evidence of Kim Hyunwoo’s misdeeds will be given to you, but we should receive the punishment for making a mess of our company’s tradition.”
Only then did Shingyusik realize. The meaning of Haeyeon’s words, ‘I am sure of the calculation,’ included not only the reward but also the punishment.
“Hmm.”
After finishing the workout, Surin wiped the sweat with a towel and headed to the dressing room. The sports club, which recruited members at the highest price, had a quiet corridor designed to avoid collisions between members as much as possible.
Entering the spacious dressing room and taking off her workout clothes, Surin remembered what she had heard before coming to the sports club. It caught her mood, so she came here to relieve stress.
The task entrusted to the guy named Kim Hyunwoo turned out to be a failure. If she had bought some time, it would have been somewhat better. Although she endured longer than the previous newcomer, it wasn’t long enough to be satisfied.
If only they had delayed the time for the incident to become widely known. In the end, it was nothing more than dealing with the fish put on the chopping board.
“It’s quite impressive, Min Haeyeon.”
Sipping a cold drink, Surin muttered. The beautiful face that always had a slight smile seemed to change ever so slightly, but quickly returned to its original state.
“I’d like to see that ability even at the Fritz Hotel.”
Surin, who let out a mocking laugh, tightened her narrow eyebrows and swallowed a sigh of regret. Since the day when she would see Min Haeyeon face to face was coming soon, there was no reason to stay down, so her mood improved.
Failure is inevitable. After all, there are exceptions to everything.
‘But the conclusion is the same.’
Surin knew that she was greedy. Knowing herself well, she always challenged herself to fill her desires, and so far, she had never failed once. In other words, it means that she has grasped everything she wanted.
The only thing Surin, who has everything, couldn’t grasp.
Chadoha.
‘It’s just for a moment.’
She lent it for a moment. Because if you get it too easily, the interest will wane. Above all, wouldn’t it be more painful to lose what you thought you had in your hands? A faint joy seeped from Surin’s lips.
“Miss. It’s one hour before the appointed time.”
Unlike the secretary who came all the way to the dressing room, Surin was relaxed.
“Okay.”
Compared to before entering the club, the voice that brightened caused the secretary to be a little late in tension, as if she thought that the stress of her superior had been relieved.
Completely undressing and tying her hair into one, Surin walked into the single-person sauna. The indoor space equipped with a half-body bathtub was filled with a subtle herbal fragrance, and Surin, whose eyes involuntarily closed, looked calm.
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.
