“Chairman, that day, I had something urgent. I apologize.”
Summoned to the chairman’s office, Songgang, who is both the father and the head of Taesung, politely sought forgiveness from Chairman Na.
“It’s not because you ignored your stepmother, is it?”
Because of what Geum Moran had said… Unexpected words came out of Chairman Na’s mouth.
“What about the recent incident where the prosecutor’s office stormed into the company? How dare they put handcuffs on someone! You’ve suffered such a disgrace, and you’re just sitting still!”
Songgang did not retaliate against Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok. It meant two things. One, he knew that Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok had conducted a shameful investigation. The other was due to the self-blame he felt.
“Your face is still half beaten, and why are you like this? You don’t know how to take care of your health! Why are you going around like this these days, not like yourself at all!”
Chairman Na scolded Songgang as if he were waiting for him to seek forgiveness.
“Regardless of being the eldest son, who will take over is uncertain! Remember what I said!”
It was a barrage of reproaches, but Songgang was not afraid of such a father. He just felt choked in his chest and didn’t feel any pain from any stimulus.
“Yes, I understand. I apologize for causing concern.”
Songgang left the chairman’s office like that and immediately attended the meeting. He was determined to risk his life on the most beloved thing before meeting her.
Attorney Cha Haein watched Songgang like that and suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Looking at the approval time, 2 a.m. was the basic, and 3 or 4 a.m. often happened.
“Director, I…”
Haein tried to talk about Line but changed her words. She didn’t hear anything from Songgang, but it felt like a conversation topic that shouldn’t be brought up.
“What were you going to say?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“Go ahead with what you were going to say.”
“Senior Jin Line, the return-to-work date has been set.”
At Haein’s words, Songgang held his breath for a moment. Haein also noticed the darkness on his face.
“I understand. Now, you don’t have to report any stories unrelated to our Taesung.”
Songgang said words organized in his head rather than his heart. Even though he said words without emotions, his nape felt so painful…
Have I ever lied to Line so far? Juhyeok became confused at his unfamiliar self.
“Is Director Na Songgang… gone?”
“This case seems to be related to Na Songrim, who is Director Na Songgang’s brother.”
“How is Na Songrim Director Na Songgang’s brother?”
Line sided with Songgang and stepped forward to defend him.
“This case and the Taesung case, when you return to work, you might have to handle both. Shouldn’t you be careful about your actions? Both you and Na Songgang.”
Line expressed her disappointment without saying anything in response.
“If you don’t receive a call first, don’t make one either. Even if you receive a call first, don’t answer. Do you really have a reason to do that? Jin Geom, pull yourself together. Taesung and the prosecutor’s office have a fate that cannot be shared.”
Line shook her head and remained silent for a while. Yet, on the other hand, she thought that he would contact her and found herself waiting unintentionally.
“Na Songgang, that matter concerning you is over too. Line, everything will be fine once you return to work.”
While preparing for his return to work was important, the most crucial thing was Line’s recovery.
Juhyeok couldn’t personally take care of Line step by step because he had to go to work, so he asked the nurse through whom he was receiving treatment, whether she was receiving proper care, taking her medication, and eating well.
“No. I don’t eat at all. I heard that she strictly follows the scheduled treatment time. She’s still uneasy because moving is inconvenient.”
Juhyeok went towards Line’s hospital room. Line was sitting on the bed, looking out the window. The joy that she could now sit up on her own was only momentary.
“Line, about dinner…”
In Line’s hand was a can of Hawaii beer.
“Jin Line, you’re a patient, why aren’t you eating and what is this…!”
Juhyeok snatched the can from Line’s hand. This canned beer was the same one he had seen that day at the scene.
“Even if you don’t eat…”
Line raised her finger and pointed to the nutrients.
“I don’t sleep, and… I’m not hungry even if I don’t eat…”
Despite her choice of words, there was no strength in her voice. Juhyeok was angry at Line’s behavior.
“Your desk and locker are back in place, and the nameplate came back today. Pull yourself together!”
Although he shouted loudly, it didn’t have any effect on her. It dispersed like an echo shouted from a distance.
“We need to return to work. I wanted to go back so much. It was so difficult for me…”
Juhyeok heard Line say that she had a hard time for the first time. He didn’t want to ask what was so difficult. He refrained from asking in case it brought back memories of the time with Director Na Songgang.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
