Min Sook warmly welcomed Seo Jeong, who visited her boutique.
“Lady, you’ve arrived? Have a cup of tea first. You like white tea, don’t you?”
Min Sook brought the tea herself.
“Why are you doing it yourself instead of asking the staff?”
“When serving our Lady, I have to do it myself.”
Min Sook said in her special softmelting voice.
“Thank you.”
Seo Jeong, holding her tea cup, glanced sideways at Min Sook.
Seeing that Min Sook was still by Cha’s side but still couldn’t secure her place even after almost 30 years, Seo Jeong thought there was no hope.
Yet, having such a respectable boutique, one could say that she had a somewhat successful life.

If the rumor that she worked at a bar frequented by Chairman Cha was true, then it was indeed a life turnaround.
Given that among so many women, Cha was still keeping Min Sook by his side, it seemed she indeed had some certain weapon.
Seo Jeong carefully examined Min Sook’s still youthful face for her age while lifting her tea.
And Min Sook, who clearly saw through Seo Jeong’s intentions, snorted inwardly.
‘Substituting Seo Yoo Jin with an illegitimate child. I underestimated this woman. Anyway, it’s a waste. Seo Yoo Jin would have been a perfect match for Cha Yoo Hyun.’
Somehow, Kang Hyun and Yoon ended up getting married in place of Yoo Hyun and Yoo Jin.
“By the way, what kind of girl is Kang Hyun’s wife? She hasn’t officially appeared in the circle yet, so everyone is curious.”
“Well, all illegitimate children are like that……”
Seo Jeong started to speak but faltered when she saw Min Sook’s face harden.
“She’s a girl lacking a lot to become Woo Sung’s daughterinlaw. That’s why I feel sorry for Chairman Cha.”

Seo Jeong changed her words. Min Sook quickly changed her expression and lifted the corners of her mouth.
“Even our Chairman seems a bit hesitant to present her, not even introducing her at the business gatherings. He just says Kang Hyun is too busy, but I suppose…….”
Even over the age of fifty, Min Sook maintained her slender legs as if to show off, crossing them as she spoke.
“I feel ashamed to send an inadequate child to the Chairman. That aside, President Cha.”
Seo Jeong had something she wanted to confirm with Min Sook.
“Yes. Please speak.”
Min Sook responded with a bright smile.
“I heard that President Cha arranged the marriage between our Yoo Jin and Director Cha Yoo Hyun, is that true?”
Upon Seo Jeong’s blunt statement, Min Sook momentarily showed a startled expression before quickly changing it and responding playfully.
“How could that be? And our Chairman isn’t the kind of person who would listen just because I said so.”

“Is that so?”
Seo Jeong’s eyes were sharp. She had been shocked to hear this rumor while dining with the matron of Han Seo Financial, and had come straight here.
‘How dare she pull a stunt behind my back?’
Seo Jeong glared at Min Sook as she spoke.
“Of course. Would President Cha do such a thing without my knowledge?”
Seo Jeong’s piercing gaze seemed to see right through Min Sook.
‘Getting too big for her boots because I talk to her.’
Seo Jeong narrowed her eyes.
“Of course, Lady. By the way, you don’t need to worry about Yoo Byung Kyu.”
Yoo Byung Kyu was a man under Min Sook who had swindled Hosik, Yoon’s greatgrandfather, in a rent fraud.

“Is that man still in Thailand?”
Seo Jeong asked as she gracefully set down her tea cup. She was confident that it was indeed Min Sook who had pushed for the marriage between Yoo Jin and Yoo Hyun.
The way Min Sook was dodging around with Yoo Byung Kyu’s card made her intentions clear, and Seo Jeong gritted her teeth internally.
“Of course. He’s living well there, why would he come here to see anything? Hohoho.”
Min Sook’s lips curved upward.
“Well, I trust President Cha.”
Even as she said this, Seo Jeong was beginning to think she needed to deal with Cha Min Sook soon. One never knew when a person who arranged things without her knowledge might stab her in the back.
How dare she tried to attach Yoo Jin to a divorced man with a child, the thought was repugnant as she mulled it over.
Min Sook, clearly seeing the thoughts of Seo Jeong, also gave her a sidelong glance.
‘Ha, does she think she can handle me now? Not so easy.’

The wives of Woo Sung’s board members, whom she had not yet managed to win over, were university classmates with Seo Jeong and even had a separate group, so Min Sook had to use Seo Jeong to draw them to Hyun Seung’s side by all means. Min Sook’s eyes filled with a sharp look.
‘Who’s been doing all the dirty work? Including that bastard who raised hell about wanting a building.’
She even arranged for Yoo Byung Kyu to handle that illegitimate child, when Seo Jeong considered Ji Man’s handling of things to be less than satisfactory.
Min Sook, who had been wearing a cold expression, met Seo Jeong’s eyes for a moment and swiftly composed her professional expression.
“Lady, we have a new twopiece outfit in, would you like to try it on?”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
