Yeong-in was frozen in place, unable to move a step.
Cha Seong-hyeok being the president of SL Entertainment was like a bolt from the blue.
SL Entertainment suddenly buying Hyeseong Entertainment, the newly appointed president Cha Seong-hyeok – could all this really be a coincidence?
She had a foreboding feeling, as if she had walked into a tiger’s den.
Seeing President Kang and Yeong-in standing motionless at the door, the legal team leader’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.
“Please, come in……”
President Kang, whose occupational habit made him scrutinize Seong-hyeok’s face, suddenly came to his senses.
“Oh, yes!”
He internally chuckled, recalling this was the occasion he had come to sell the company he had built and nurtured.
Yeong-in stood dumbfounded, lost in thought.
She too must be smitten with that man, thought President Kang. His expression indicated his understanding as he silently mouthed the words.
“Team Manager Chae.”
Finally coming back to her senses, Yeong-in bit the inside of her lip and followed President Kang to the sofa.
Seong-hyeok, who had been observing them from the sofa, stood up to greet President Kang with a handshake.
“I’m Cha Seong-hyeok.”
“I’m Kang Yu-geon.”
Seong-hyeok extended his hand to Yeong-in as well.
Yeong-in, avoiding his persistent and intense gaze, shook his hand.
Feeling a strange thrill as his long fingers tightly gripped her hand, she discreetly pulled her hand away, embarrassed by the sensation that made her skin crawl.
Seong-hyeok gestured towards the sofa.
“Please, have a seat.”
Yeong-in and President Kang took their seats to his right.
“Let’s proceed then.”
The legal team leader, seated across from them, handed the contract to Seong-hyeok and President Kang, and with their signatures, the deal was finalized.
Seong-hyeok, leaning back on the sofa, shared his future plans.
“Currently, SL Entertainment has four actor management teams. Hyeseong members will join the newly formed fifth team. I would like Chae Yeong-in to be the team manager.”
President Kang nodded vigorously, pleased.
“Our Yeong-in, no, Team Manager Chae, will do well. She’s very capable.”
Seong-hyeok was already feeling uncomfortable with President Kang’s friendly address as ‘our Yeong-in.’
Knowing the personal relationship between President Kang and Yeong-in, he found it irksome whenever any man was too familiar with her. Yet, he didn’t show it outwardly.
“I know. That’s why I wanted Team Manager Chae Yeong-in on my team.”
President Kang and the legal team leader took it as a cliché phrase often used in talent recruitment.
However, Yeong-in immediately caught the subtle nuances in Seong-hyeok’s words and felt anxious about what he might say next.
“Why wouldn’t I? If I hadn’t decided to leave this field, I would never have let go of Team Manager Chae.”
Seong-hyeok, eager to end the conversation with President Kang, changed the subject.
“Would you join me for dinner tonight if you’re available?”
“I’ve got all the time in the world.”
As Seong-hyeok’s gaze turned to Yeong-in, President Kang quickly interjected.
“Team Manager Chae has no plans tonight. I’m sure of it.”
Yeong-in turned to President Kang, grinding her teeth silently.
I might not have plans, but I don’t want to go!
Unaware of Yeong-in’s silent protest, President Kang continued, oblivious to her reluctance.
“That’s great.”
Seong-hyeok nodded, content, and excused himself from President Kang.
“I have something specific to discuss with Team Manager Chae. Would you mind waiting for a moment in the meeting room?”
“Take your time to talk.”
President Kang, without any suspicion, left the office with the legal team leader.
As soon as the door closed, Yeong-in, who had been holding back her words, spoke up.
“What is it you wish to tell me, President Cha Seong-hyeok?”
There was a detectable sneer in her tone.
“There’s nothing. I just thought you might have a lot to say to me, so I sent them away.”
Yeong-in, as if she had been waiting for this moment, asked immediately.
“Why did you come to SL Entertainment?”
“To see you every day.”
Startled for a moment, Yeong-in quickly regained her composure and responded calmly.
“I thought you were going to the management planning department.”
“I was, but I changed my mind.”
“Because of me?”
“Yes.”
“Are you crazy?”
Yeong-in was aware of the significance of the position of head of the management planning department in SL Group.
“Something like that.”
Seong-hyeok chuckled playfully and continued.
“Who else caught my eye but you? If it wasn’t for you, I would have gone to the management planning department.”
“Are you blaming me now? I didn’t know you were there.”
“Anyway.”
“Should I apologize?”
“No, just accept it. Or resign yourself to it.”
Yeong-in neither accepted nor resigned herself. Instead, she warned him.
“Distinguish between work and personal life.”
“Do I really have to? I just want to live doing what I want.”
Seong-hyeok crossed his long legs elegantly and smiled mischievously.

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.”
