Reclining on the sofa, Jae-ha covered his eyes with his large hand.
Upon entering the house, Secretary Kang, who turned on the lights and opened the curtains, let out a sigh. There were too many bottles of whiskey and crushed beer cans to count.
“So, you’ve bought alcohol instead of a meal. Well, since half of alcohol is water, at least you’re alive.”
“…….”
“There are several urgent approvals; can you sit down?”
“Did I become X Corporation? Can I sit?”
As Jae-ha, who raised himself, glared at Secretary Kang.
“It seems so… From an outward perspective, to express it nicely… very natural. Dirty, to be precise.”
Jae-ha, in training clothes, brushed his messy hair and stroked his bearded chin.
“It was dirty. Sloppy. Became X Corporation. Damn.”
“Why are you like this?”
“What did Jang Sangyun say?”
“What did he say? Didn’t he give you the option to say something? No words at all. I’ve understood it well enough.”
“Still, watch until the end so that you won’t have any foolish thoughts.”
Flower boy—no, thought he became a beauty…. But he wasn’t.
“As you seem fine, take a look at the documents first. TF Team will take care of it. Park Team Leader, during the two days you couldn’t contact the president, spent how much money, is desperately begging me as if he’s going to devour me—ah… I had a pretty bad headache.”
“You’re doing well. I guess I’m not needed.”
“Huh? Not needed?”
Surprised by the casually thrown remark, Secretary Kang was taken aback. In response to her reaction, Jae-ha raised his eyebrow lightly.
Right… It’s not America!
Two companies within reach of each other when fallen.
“Sure. First, take a look at the urgent matters, and we’ll go over the rest at the company tomorrow.”
“Really?”
“You’ve been dawdling all day. Does it make sense to keep doing this?”
Jaeha coolly signed his name on the empty approval form.
Seeing this, Secretary Kang’s lips curled upward.
“I said from tomorrow. Now, go. I want to be alone.”
Regret and despair are enough for Jaeha within two days.
No, it could be too much.
Especially if it’s related to Yoon Eunjo, he should not be sitting idly, but should move quickly.
To reverse.
To find again.
Or… I don’t know. I’m ready to do anything, even something absurd.
Left alone, Jaeha lay down again and covered his eyes with his hand.
Eunjo… I was terrible too.
Hating you, unable to forget you,
Hiding in despair without anyone knowing.
The me who was in despair again… was terrible.
Eunjo had been spending a more calm and serene time than any time before.
“Now that I think about what I want to do, nothing comes to mind. What do I want? So, a pretty suit, a pair of shoes… that’s it? Unni, I’m so lame, right?”
No~~~ Min-ah, who took the steering wheel, widened her eyes.
“Absolutely not! I feel relieved now that it seems to be back to normal. It’s nothing special, a bit backward, or… something strange?? Hehe [dash] finding happiness in things like that. Did you think there was something significant?”
“Yeah… you’re right.”
“Oh, speaking of something strange [dash] ah, funny. There’s that Audrey Coffee company, right? DL? No, that company was disgraced because of the daughter. They openly broadcasted the act of committing adultery, so that’s exactly what disgrace is. Why love a man with an owner? Tsk tsk tsk [dash] our Jae-wook oppa even modeled for them, making the brand image quite clean.”
Even though Eunjo knew it was about Wang Nana, she didn’t show any reaction.
“Our Jae-wook oppa?”
“Don’t you know Han Jaewook? Model and actor, Volume Label [dash] Han Jaewook? Yeah [dash] Unni, what’s with you? You don’t have to go that far, right? Gee.”
“What’s with that reaction?”
“If the name has ‘Jae’ in it, did everything work out? Our oppa should have been named Jaewoo, but Mom failed in naming.”
“Choi Jaewoo? Anyway, it’s funny [dash] Min-ah.”
“That’s right! He’s handsome! He has an appropriate height, is gentle, and elegant.”
“He must be polite!”
On that day, caught up in Min-ah’s teasing, Eunjo bought a suit, shoes, and a pretty dress.
For several days, a cold wind blew at JS PHARM.
Chairman Lee Sungchun suddenly stepped down, and the new representative quietly took his place.
The whole company was in turmoil due to the initial promise not to exercise influence in management and the different behavior of the largest shareholder.
Upon hearing the news that the new representative decided to have a simple meeting and introduction with each department instead of an inauguration ceremony, Eunjo bit her lips.
Kwon Jaeha.
What kind of trick is this again?
Please, leave me alone for a bit!
But that day eventually came.
The research and development team, using the same floor as the design team, gathered in one place.
“Hello.”
As the meeting room door opened, the familiar voice reached Eunjo’s ears, and she took a deep breath.
And then, she slowly shifted her gaze.
In a beige turtleneck sweater, jeans, and a dark brown casual jacket, he looked strangely different from other days.
…He looked different.
After shaking hands with the employees one by one,
he finally approached Eunjo and extended his hand.
“Ms. Yoon Eunjo, nice to meet you.”
Nice to meet you.
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.
