Office Romance Scandal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
I’d come to pick up Tae Hong before, but this was the first time we’d be leaving for work together from his place. Since we couldn’t wear the same clothes, I left a bit earlier than usual.
Hae Jin stopped by her place to change outfits. Thinking of Tae Hong waiting for her downstairs made her check the mirror once more and reapply her lipstick one extra time.
After one final glance at her reflection in the full-length mirror, she headed down to where he was waiting.
Tae Hong, whom I’d expected to be inside the car, was standing outside. He looked unusually serious as he scanned the surroundings.
“What are you doing?”
I walked over and turned my head in the direction of his gaze. There didn’t seem to be anything passing by in the sky—what could he possibly be looking at?
“Nothing. Let’s go.”
But without saying anything else, he got into the car.
It was the same commute to work, yet it felt somehow different.
Last night, we’d shared everything there was to share. We’d done everything we could together. My love for him had deepened even more.
Yet, I felt slightly embarrassed and awkward. Now that the frenzy driven by instinct had ended and my rational mind had returned, I felt almost sobered.
Even though I was dressed neatly, why did images of his bare skin keep drifting through my mind like scenery?
How would I manage at the office? Could I really control every tiny, involuntary gesture?
“Team Leader, um…”
I needed to ask him and get on the same page.
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…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
