“Hello, how can I assist you?”
The woman standing at the reception desk was dressed in a wellfitted uniform.
She first politely greeted Eun Jo, who approached, with a bright smile.
“I’m here to see Representative Kwon Jae Ha.”
Eun Jo noticed the mirth fading from the woman’s eyes upon hearing that name. However, her red lips were still shaped in a smile.
“Did you make an appointment?”
“Well, it’s not that I made an appointment on a whim. I tried to call several times but couldn’t get through. However…”
“If you didn’t arrange an appointment in advance, it might be difficult.”
“Please just let him know that Yoon Eun Jo is here.”
With a firm voice, Eun Jo opened her round eyes wider.
It was comforting to know that she was wearing the best outfit from the clothes she had.
“Please wait a moment. I will try to contact the secretariat.”
The female employee who picked up the intercom sneaked a peek at Eun Jo’s face.
It was a pretty big building.
The marble floor was shiny and reminiscent of a gallery with its unique and elegant lighting.
The people walking through the open lobby, where no pillars were visible, their attire, faces, and even expressions, looked quite decent.
Compared to JS Pharm, the future of which was uncertain… ha…
She had received a strange contract, and everything in front of her eyes was dark. She had even heard shocking news like a bolt from the blue.
[It’s already over. Lee Sung Choon is not the owner of this company anymore, what president? That man is just an ordinary salaryman now.]Even though what she had anticipated finally happened, the team leader’s voice was calm.
Honest and solid advice was added.
[Although I’ve heard that there won’t be restructuring right away, even if there is, it’s a bit far from us. Anyway, prepare a new portfolio in preparation for any eventuality. Let me know if you need my help.]‘Blackstone Partners’
The building where Yoon Eun Jo was now standing belonged to the largest private placement fund operator in the United States.
She was stupefied by the fact that Kwon Jae Ha, who was now the leader of this massive, intimidating and ruthless corporation, was essentially her superior.
Eun Jo felt like she had become a pawn on the chessboard that Kwon Jae Ha was playing.
Moving in the direction and manner he desired… Just like that.
“Miss Yoon Eun Jo!”
“Yes? Yes.”
A sharp voice roused Eun Jo from her thoughts.
“Someone will be coming down from the secretariat soon. Please wait a moment.”
Okay Eun Jo nodded and walked over to the end of the reception desk, standing under a large picture hung on the wall.
“Why are you standing like that?”
This time, a deep voice made Eun Jo, who was looking down at the floor, lift her gaze.
“Ah, I was waiting. Someone was supposed to come down…”
“Didn’t you receive the message that a car is waiting at the main entrance?”
The receptionist’s face turned ghostly pale at the chilling tone of the representative.
“I’m okay…”
As she hesitated about what to say, a large hand grabbed her wrist.
“It would have been nice if you had called.”
Was it her imagination that his reprimanding voice sounded somewhat affectionate?
Eun Jo, who was being led away like a doll at a brisk pace, wet her dry lips with her tongue.
“I did. But the line was always busy.”
“Yoon Eun Jo called three times, didn’t she?”
“…twice.”
“Ha! It’s embarrassing, really.”
“I came abruptly because a meeting was canceled. I thought if I couldn’t meet him, I could just go home.”
“You did well.”
Jae Ha pushed the flustered Eun Jo into the passenger seat of the car.
And so, the car started. After a while of silence, Jae Ha suddenly pushed his mobile phone towards Eun Jo.
“……?”
“Change the settings. I’m driving, right? It’s for call waiting.”
Why bother sighing, Eun Jo who was fumbling with his mobile phone asked.
“But where are we going?”
“Somewhere quiet. If you’re hungry, somewhere quiet where you can eat.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“You probably don’t want to be hungry.”
“Don’t be sarcastic. I came here to talk, not to eat.”
“You can talk while eating. Geez, it’s tough. Yoon Eun Jo. As always.”
“……”
.
.
The two walked along the Han River embankment without saying much for a while.
It was a weekday, so there weren’t many people. Perhaps because of the shower that had passed the night before, the air was clear and fresh.
The midday sun was hot enough to be felt, but the breeze along the darkened river was cool, befitting the season.
The moist wind pleasantly brushed through Eun Jo’s hair.
“Do your feet hurt?”
“I’m fine, why?”
“Over there.”
A brightly lit café was in view.
“Sit here and wait for a bit.”
Without waiting for Eun Jo’s response, Jae Ha walked swiftly towards the café.
And in no time, he appeared with drinks in both hands.
“There are many people inside. The music is also loud.”
“Hmm.”
“Milk tea, is that okay?”
“I like it. Thank you.”
Eun Jo took the tea he handed over, wetting her lips. Milk tea is one of the things she liked.
“It’s been quite a while.”
“Hmm? What, has?”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
