“No, the cheap perfume scent was so strong in Sim Yu Ran’s office.”
“Why did she meet Sim Yu Ran without telling me?”
“She sent Lee Ju Yeon.”
“…Actress Lee Ju Yeon? Is she considering remarriage?”
“Probably.”
“Wow……. If Ms. Seo Tae In finds out, she’ll go crazy.”
Lee Kyung burst into laughter.
Nok Hyun also laughed when he thought of Tae In who would run wild.
“I’m not getting any contact.”
“What contact?”
Lee Kyung tilted her head.
Today, unlike Nok Hyun’s usual behavior, he had been frequently touching his phone as if he was waiting for some contact.
“I sang a song asking her to buy me a phone, so I bought it.”
Nok Hyun moved his own phone slightly.
Whenever Nok Hyun met Sim Yu Ran, there was a low pressure for at least three days.
However, yesterday, when I met Shim Yu Ran and Lee Joo Yeon, my mood didn’t settle down but rather seemed more excited.
“Hwang Director might be in danger if he meets Shim Yu Ran.”
“I know, we’re in a situation without even my father who’s only a figurehead now.”
“Knowing that well……”
Lee Kyung Eun was worried anew. For good reason, Nok Hyun had changed a lot recently.
Exactly what had changed, she didn’t know, but the atmosphere and expressions were somehow different.
“No need to worry, Director Hwang always acts within predictable bounds. Just like Kang Ji Woon.”
“Do those predictable bounds include kidnapping, threats, and being an accomplice to murder?”
Director Hwang was shortsighted and acted first before thinking, and Kang Ji Woon was a piece of trash who didn’t hesitate to break the law.
Soon, the car arrived at the company parking lot.
“Are you going to work late?”
“No, I’m just going to check some documents and then leave. Manager Jung can leave now.”
“Alright.”
Nok Hyun received the car keys from Lee Kyung. As she was moving to her car, she suddenly stopped.
“But sir.”
“Yeah, what?”
“I got a message.”
Lee Kyung extended her phone with a sly smile on her face. It was a picture of a puppy sent by Tae In.
Nok Hyun’s face hardened in realtime.
So, she sends pictures to Lee Kyung, but doesn’t even contact me.
“Do you just want to work late?”
“No! I’m leaving now!”
Lee Kyung ran like an arrow and got into her car.
Just at that moment, the phone rang.
The caller was Tae In.
Without hesitation, Nok Hyun pressed the call button.
When are you coming?
“Well, soon?”
When is soon?
“Did you finish the chicken?”
Of course. I’ve buried even the bones in the ground long ago.
At Tae In’s casual remark, Nok Hyun chuckled.
“Why, do you miss me?”
What I miss is Kang Nok Hyun. I love you so much.
Hearing that, Nok Hyun thought he wanted to go back to Gapyeong.
Come quickly.
“Okay, I’ll be there soon.”
The brief conversation left a long aftertaste.
It was as if sweet juice had seeped into his ears.
The smile did not leave his lips.
It was when he pressed the elevator button.
There was a heavy shock from behind his neck, and his vision began to flicker.
After a while, Nok Hyun opened his eyes. Despite opening his eyes, he couldn’t tell whether they were open or closed.
“Are you awake?”
Only after hearing someone’s voice did Nok Hyun realize that his eyes were covered with a black cloth.
“You should have behaved yourself.”
It was Director Hwang’s voice.
As expected, he never fails to surprise.
Nok Hyun smirked.
“Are you laughing?”
Annoyed, Director Hwang pointed something at Nok Hyun’s head.
Cold metallic material, it was a gun.
“Director Hwang, you must be very impatient to act directly.”
“You, I never liked you from the beginning. I couldn’t stand the sight of the young punk who trusted my father too much.”
Director Hwang was a longtime friend of Nok Hyun’s father, Chul Han. He often visited Nok Hyun’s house, bringing toys for him.
However, as soon as Chul Han fell, Director Hwang attached himself to Yoo Ran.
He had to protect his position and wealth over any petty friendship.
Nok Hyun understood this point.
But he couldn’t understand such a vile act.
Director Hwang was extremely excited. Undoubtedly, his face would have turned as red as his lips, it was obvious even without seeing.
“Stay back when you speak. The cheap perfume smell is vibrating in front of my nose, I can’t concentrate.”
“This is real!”
Director Hwang pressed Nok Hyun’s head with the muzzle of the gun. And at that moment, Nok Hyun grabbed the head of the gun.
“I tied you up with rope for sure…!”
Nok Hyun pulled down his blindfold with his other hand.
But his eyes were still closed.
As if to prevent the gun from being taken away, Director Hwang put all his strength into the hand holding the gun. However, Nok Hyun not only did not let the gun be taken away, but he also precisely pressed it against his temple.
“Do you know how to fire a gun?”
Director Hwang’s hand holding the gun was shaking violently. He was merely trying to intimidate.
He thought he would beg for forgiveness out of fear. He thought Nok Hyun was still a kid with a grown body, but he was mistaken.
Nok Hyun slowly opened his eyes.
It was a narrow and dark container. There were probably people outside, and if Director Hwang shouted, they would come in.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Nok Hyun took the gun from Director Hwang’s trembling hand. He quickly pulled back the hammer and pulled the trigger.
Bang, the dull noise startled Director Hwang, who fell to the ground, shivering.
With his foot on Director Hwang’s head, Nok Hyun aimed the gun at him.
Urine dripped from his pants onto the floor.
Three burly men who had been waiting outside came in, perhaps having heard the gunshot.
“There’s no time, so come all at once.”
He had promised to leave quickly after all.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
