The man, who erased his laughter and stared dryly, seemed to have no intention of offering any more kindness.
Yoojin still wore an unpleasant expression, but she turned away, avoiding the capricious man, uncertain about how he might change if she stayed longer.
The man, who had been observing until Yoojin left the office and the door closed, finally averted his cold gaze.
Not only was the sudden appearance bothersome, but the conversation with the annoying and persistent Yoojin brought with it inexplicable irritation and fatigue.
Talking about advice, pretending to be funny, and boldly offering to protect her sister were all amusing and absurd. It was absurd even to think that he would dare to interfere in her relationship.
Yoojin probably didn’t know exactly who Nam Yoo-in was.
“The more I see, the less resemblance there is.”
It happened when the man, who created a sardonic smirk, covered his stiff eyes with his hand. The noisy sounds from outside disturbed his rest beyond the thick door that usually blocked most noises.
The owner of this floor was Kiyeon. Everything, from her office and secretary’s office to several meeting rooms and the reception room, was under Kiyeon’s control.
Kiyeon disliked loud noises. It was a basic rule that those assisting him were expected to know. However, how should he deal with these absurd behaviors now?
Kiyeon lay on the sofa, seemingly asleep. However, her neatly closed eyes and tense mind were actively working.
Then, knock, knock! The annoying knocking sound on the door was somewhat nervous.
“Yes.”
Kiyeon waited for a while before allowing the visitor to enter. With the creaking sound of the door opening, two guests barged in.
“Why did you follow me in? If you’re done, get out!”
“I’m curious about what you’re mumbling about.”
“You don’t need to know. Just go. Quickly.”
“Why? Is there something I shouldn’t know? A secret conversation with Director Do, perhaps?”
Lowering the hand that blocked his view and resting his chin on the cool hand, the man with a chilling aura stared at them expressionlessly.
The two people arguing stopped abruptly, feeling an icy warning, and took their seats. In the exchanged glances, there were bitter emotions towards each other.
Kiyeon, with an indifferent face, spoke like someone who had no interest in trivial quarrels.
“Both of you, say what you need to quickly and leave. I’m a bit tired.”
Then, she glanced at her wristwatch again. The man, who emitted a different threatening atmosphere than when he confronted Yoojin earlier, was not easy to interrupt.
Finishing their business promptly, the man who made a dissatisfied expression at Yoojin, and the woman who protested with her eyes to the man watching Yoojin passively, sent each other resentful glances.
Kiyeon, indifferent as if she didn’t understand, gestured impatiently to the woman. However, when the woman opened her lips, seemingly unable to do anything, Kiyeon opened her lips as if chewing gum.
“Director, please cast me as a supporting role in ‘That Summer by the Sea.'”
Yoojin made a face as if chewing on dung when she heard this absurd remark, but Kiyeon responded lazily without much reaction.
“The reason is.”
“I also want to work with that director. If you cast me, I’ll work really hard. I won’t cause any trouble. I’ll listen to Director Do and won’t do things I’m told not to.”
Kiyeon brought a solemn silence with an expression that revealed nothing about what she was thinking. With the emperor of consensus, who was not opening his mouth, Yoojin, engulfed in absurd anxiety, initiated the attack.
“Kim Seonyoung. What’s wrong with your head? Trying to cause trouble in my movie again. Do you not know that even being an extra in a movie would be difficult for your acting skills?”
“Don’t delude yourself with your popularity. If you keep this up, it’s hopeless if you fall. Thanks for worrying about me now. But what should I do? I have no intention of doing that. Unlike someone who dismantled a perfectly fine group and is now a rogue.”
“Is that so!”
Bam!!
The resounding noise, cutting off the brewing conflict, crossed fiercely. The firm fist that vibrated the tea table gracefully ascended onto the man’s knee.
“Our actors have become quite lax. Do you think this is a market where we lay the groundwork for you to fight?”
The man who spoke in a somber tone glanced at the time again. He seemed eager to tidy up this boring situation.
“We reject Kim Seonyoung’s opinion. The film director is very sensitive about the casting, and the discussions were completed a long time ago. I have no reason to squeeze in Kim Seonyoung at the expense of my losses.”
His voice was low and flat, conveying objective facts.
“The main character of the movie is Nam Yoojin. If the representative actor’s mental health is not good, it can ruin the filming atmosphere, delay the shooting, and cause problems. If the movie turns out to be a mess and fails to break even, can you take responsibility for that?”
“I will do well…”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
