The head of the legal department writhed his head while holding the document he had in his hand.
The document contained the delegation of all powers to Geum Moran as the acting chairman in my place.
“Ha… Where can I sell this? Can I get even a penny more?”
He couldn’t easily give it away, lamenting the regret that if he handed it over to Geum Moran, she would gladly pay a high price for it.
At that moment, a knock was heard.
The head of the legal department was startled, hiding the document.
“Oh, come in.”
Hae-in had come to get approval. The head of the legal department shot a sharp glance at Hae-in, revealing his displeasure unmistakably. Hae-in also felt uncomfortable facing him.
Hae-in placed the documents to be approved on the head of the legal department’s desk. Without examining the contents, he hastily signed them.
“You should take a look at them.”
“Now you’re telling me to look? Giving orders now?”
Upon the legal department head’s prickly words, Hae-in no longer wanted to say anything. However, there was a reason to irritate him a little more.
“Geum Moran has formed a new legal team.”
The legal department head looked at the documents. There were signs that she might form a new legal team, but he hoped otherwise. There was even a faint hope that she might scout him with a large sum.
Hae-in smiled inwardly at the legal department head’s expression.
“How much does Cha Byeon receive and remain loyal to Director Na Song-kang?”
The legal department head suddenly became curious about the deal between the two.
“I don’t receive any money from Director Na other than the salary I receive from Taesung.”
“Should I believe that?”
“The salary I receive from Taesung is not a small amount, and I appreciate Director Na’s management philosophy, no, life philosophy of keeping promises until the end.”
He used to laugh it off, but now it was serious.
“Director Na Song-kang… He wouldn’t betray me, would he?”
“If it were me, I would have done more than betray. But looking at how you’ve been left alone all this time, isn’t there some intention behind it?”
“That’s right… But, what did you say? More than betray!”
Hae-in picked up the documents, lightly bowed, and gracefully left the room. After Hae-in left the room, the legal department head felt more uneasy.
Come to think of it, Chairman Na was aware of the existence of this document. Whether it was because he had written so many delegation letters that he couldn’t remember or because he was waiting for him to bring it himself…
If Chairman Na was waiting for it, from the legal department head’s perspective, it was an inevitably spine-chilling matter.
Song Kang went to the hospital with La-in. To keep a promise with Song Kang, La-in cleared her busy schedule and left work early.
Rather than drawing blood for the real treatment, Song Kang first requested to check La-in’s arm condition.
Upon hearing that La-in’s arm was recovering well without any issues, Song Kang entered the treatment room. La-in was standing outside the treatment room.
The medical staff outside the treatment room were in a scuffle, debating who should go in. Smiles were plastered on their faces, and La-in’s expression turned cold as she observed their competition.
Although Song Kang thought about bringing the professor who performed his suturing surgery, there was no time to fuss about it.
Not knowing what fairness meant, one of them was selected to enter the treatment room. La-in hesitated at the door but eventually followed as if possessed by something.
However, there was a curtain inside the treatment room, preventing her from seeing the situation in detail. The treatment took longer than expected.
Whether it was because La-in’s mental clock was ticking slowly… La-in looked at her watch. Five minutes seemed excessive for dressing.
The person coming out from behind the curtain had a bright smile on their face. Despite the person’s cheerful expression, La-in’s face stiffened. Unable to endure, she finally entered behind the curtain.
“Have you been waiting long?”
He casually put on a shirt and buttoned the cuffs. La-in glared at him with a displeased expression. Song Kang stopped buttoning and sensed La-in’s mood.
Is she annoyed because she waited too long…
“Why haven’t you changed into hospital clothes?”
“What hospital clothes are you talking about?”
“Who receives treatment like this, undressing so carelessly? A person with such manners can’t show respect to medical professionals, can they?”
In response to La-in’s overly sensitive reaction, Song Kang couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“Am I angry because I lack manners?”
It wasn’t that. Suppressing the childish emotion she felt for the first time, La-in clenched her fist, closed her eyes, and then opened them. However, her eyes flickered uncontrollably with the changing emotions.
Song Kang couldn’t help but laugh, thinking he knew why La-in was acting like this.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Are you jealous?”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
