About 5 hours ago, W Hotel Korea.
The hurried footsteps of two middleaged men passing through the revolving door were frantic.
The olderlooking of the two incessantly wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.
“Didn’t he say he would only arrive at the end of this month? I don’t understand why he comes unexpectedly like this and flusters people.”
“They say that’s his nature. He instructed to omit even the minimal courtesy because it’s annoying and bothersome, but isn’t this sudden arrival even more upsetting? I wonder if this young thing wants to assert dominance from the beginning or something.”
“The only heir of the founder… the word ‘dominance’ feels somewhat funny, heh heh.”
“How do you think of him being a Korean native?”
The staff member at the front desk bowed politely in greeting as the two men arrived.
“Hello, directors. Welcome.”
“Ah, just in time, Manager Kim is here. Luckily we don’t need a long story. Is there someone named Kyle Alexis in the VIP suite? We came to see him. Please contact him.”
“Ah, you’ve come to see the new representative. Just a moment.”
While the employee attempted to communicate with the room, the one who had been sweating all along grumbled quietly.
“It’s infuriating that the hotel staff knew before we did.”
“Ah, what should we do. The representative isn’t answering the phone.”
“Manager Kim, give us the elevator card key. We’ve already contacted him about going up, so don’t worry.”
With a highpressure attitude, they obtained what they wanted and arrived on the 36th floor shortly.
“Well, he doesn’t speak Korean well. Should we converse in English? Director Kim, you’re good at it, right? I trust you.”
“Huh? Impossible! With a mind that spins faster than light, mastering several languages like a native… Ah, my head. Old habits die hard, working with Hampton’s representative was perfect indeed.”
“Apparently, the damage to the company’s image caused by the selling of the Seoil Bank was selfinflicted.”
“Exactly. What does it matter if we make a huge profit? In the end, it left a bad taste in our mouths. Ah, here it is!”
It was the room where their new superior ‘Kyle J. Alexis’ was staying.
Just out of the shower, Jae Ha was wearing only a towel around his waist.
Thanks to a hotter and longer shower than usual, his throat felt parched.
He should have left it there. Brushing back his wet hair, he stepped onto the plush carpet.
The droplets of water glistening on his intricately sculpted body made the shape of his evenly divided muscles clear with every movement.
The refrigerator was full of beer prepared by the concierge.
With a crisp sound, the sharp rise of the man’s Adam’s apple smoothly moved up and down.
It had been insanely busy. Three weeks had passed in the blink of an eye.
The amount of urgent work piling up was no small matter.
The situation in Korea was far worse than expected, and finding and correcting the fundamentally wrong parts took more time than thought.
He had been buried in work the entire time. Except for a few hours of sleep and exercise, even meals were hastily taken care of.
Finally having some free time today, he selected the final candidate among the houses that Secretary Kang had shortlisted.
The last villa he had seen… Jae Ha, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, raised the end of his thick eyebrows sharply.
Obviously, he would have to keep it close. At the end of his thought, the glowing screen of his cell phone came into view.
[Hello.]
The counterpart who omitted the honorific greeted him modestly. So did Kwon Jae Ha. Straight to the point.
“Did you find out?”
[Yes, of course. I sent the detailed information via email. Please check it…]
Dingdong.
“Hold on a moment.”
Holding the phone, Jae Ha opened the entrance door without hesitation. And he came face to face with two men with flushed faces.
Almost naked, Jae Ha spoke first to the men who merely blinked.
“What’s the matter? I never invited guests.”
It was smooth English with a strange hint of a British accent.
“Ah, Mr. Alexis. We want to welcome you. So, we are…”
Can’t you speak Korean properly? As the two shocked men looked at each other, Jae Ha merely shrugged his shoulders.
“So, anything more?”
His cold gaze made the already dejected men shrink back even further.
But just before the door closed completely, the two men standing blankly finally heard it. Perfect Korean.
“Speak up.”
.
A new call came in as soon as he ended the call after hearing a brief additional explanation.
No rest for the wicked. It was Secretary Kang.
“Yeah.”
[You’re at the hotel, right?]
“Otherwise.”
[But why did you just send them away? Don’t tell me you have someone else with you?]
“Why, did you think I had a woman with me?”
[Not that, they were completely…]
“I was undressing.”
[What?]
Jae Ha, who had pressed the speaker button, picked up his silk robe. He removed the towel that was around his waist and let out a refreshing voice.
“I just finished working out and showering. I’m sure I told them I wouldn’t meet.”
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.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
