After various speeches and presentations, the long-awaited ‘Rising Partner’ award ceremony finally took place. The eagerly anticipated protagonist was none other than CH Mice’s Chairman, Charin.
As today was an important ‘Partner Day’ for him, Haeyeon, who had learned about this event in advance, knew that there was a partner award embellishing the grand finale. Thanks to this, she was aware of how meaningful Doha’s ‘Rising Partner Award’ was.
“I’ll be back, Haeyeon.”
Doha said to Haeyeon and walked toward the center of the stage.
“Congratulations, CEO.”
“I’m sure you’re thrilled. Congratulations.”
Amidst greetings from people nearby or coming from afar, other words could be heard.
“If you collaborate with Freet Hotel, you’re guaranteed for several years. Impressive, CEO Cha.”
“CH Mice has been leading for about five years, right?”
“Various Mice events will be held here in the Freet Hotel hall in the future. Of course, Chairman Cha will be the organizer.”
In the laughter of the people, Haeyeon looked at Doha with a proud face. Illuminated by the stage lights, he stood out more than ever. What was particularly noticeable was his confident attitude and humble posture.
“CH Mice will do its best to provide the best areas and fields, as well as reasonable prices, to contribute to the growth of the hotel business.”
Thunderous applause erupted in the Grand Ballroom, capable of accommodating over 1,000 people. Haeyeon sent admiring applause towards Doha along with the crowd. Eventually, the organizers provided dinner wine and a banquet, and the meal began in a comfortable atmosphere.
The subtly played jazz melody accompanied a menu and drinks presented with the ingredients of Mibon Food and Gilmyeong Corporation, ensuring quality and taste.
Standing all day made Haeyeon lose her appetite, so she didn’t touch the food and reached for red wine. Doha descended from the stage, exchanged greetings with people, and was coming this way.
“Doha, sir.”
Even in a situation where the band vocalist was singing in the central stage, the voice was clearly audible. Haeyeon turned her head. It was Soo-rin, who, with a restrained style that felt neither excessive nor ordinary, held a silver clutch adorned with jewels in her white hand.
“I enjoyed the speech.”
Soo-rin used honorifics to Doha as it was an official occasion since she came to this side. Though her manners were proper, her alluring smile, turning her thick, long hair behind her ear, felt seductive.
“…”
“…”
Silence followed. For some reason, Doha only glanced briefly at Soo-rin and didn’t respond. Seeing Haeyeon frown slightly and look at Soo-rin, it seemed there was something going on between Doha and Soo-rin. However, without intervening, Haeyeon stayed silent. Just then, someone else called Doha.
“Chairman Cha, it’s been a while. I have someone to introduce; could you spare some time?”
“Yes, of course. Haeyeon, would you like to come along?”
“No, I’ll stay here.”
It wasn’t a situation where only Haeyeon was in front of Doha. Although Soo-rin was also present, Doha, who had ignored her, didn’t seem pleased with Haeyeon’s response. After a moment of locking eyes with Haeyeon, Doha eventually moved along with the man.
A new song flowed from the stage, and Haeyeon and Soo-rin found themselves alone at the same time.
“It’s a shame. If it had taken a little longer, the atmosphere would have been better.”
Looking at the crowded venue, Soo-rin expressed her regret. Even though she didn’t say it explicitly, Haeyeon instantly understood Soo-rin’s meaning.
It was regret about Haeyeon swiftly dealing with Soo-rin’s scheme at Dally Coffee, preventing rumors from spreading far and wide.
“It’s really regrettable.”
Emphasizing once again, Soo-rin turned her gaze to Haeyeon without blinking her brown eyes and ran her upper lip with a red tongue. A faint smile appeared at the corner of Haeyeon’s neat lips.
“There’s no need to be so regretful, Ms. Soo-rin. Soon, there won’t be any time to be bored.”
It wasn’t just bragging about pride. She was determined to make Soo-rin pay for her actions.
Perhaps sensing the determination in her heart, Soo-rin, who had been wearing a haughty expression toward Haeyeon, suddenly made an irrelevant remark.
“Well. Leaving that aside, shall we make a toast?”
As Soo-rin raised her glass elegantly, Haeyeon, conscious of the people’s gaze, also raised her glass. Just before the transparent glasses clinked, Soo-rin brought her face close to Haeyeon’s left cheek and whispered.
“You know very well how much of a burden you are to Doha oppa. But how long do you plan to cling to him?”
Soo-rin, whispering softly, only said what she wanted to say and pulled her face away from Haeyeon, pressing it against her cheek.
It was a low-grade provocation that didn’t need to be taken seriously. The most heartbreaking part was that the scenes she could imagine were nothing more than printed characters in the documents Yoonho had provided, making Haeyeon feel pitiful.
“Sorry for being late.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
