Sitting comfortably with his back against the chair, Jungwoong’s demeanor was relaxed.
No matter what happened, he seemed ready to handle it calmly.
Observing a sight that never pleased him, Jungwoong frowned slightly, pressed his eyebrows together, and closed his slightly parted lips. Then another executive spoke.
“Are you suggesting that we hold a shareholders’ meeting?”
Jaeyo nodded his head lightly. “Isn’t that the simplest and cleanest way?”
Since it was a reasonable suggestion, this time, no one expressed disagreement.
As the tumultuous atmosphere gradually subsided, Jiphyul, who felt that things were calming down, moved his eyes to sweep across the faces of the executives. Afterward, he finally opened his mouth, which had been closed throughout.
“Well, let’s hold an interim shareholders’ meeting soon and, for now, let’s proceed with the meeting.”
At Jiphyul’s words, the meeting began.
Although he got what he wanted, Jungwoong’s impression remained unsatisfactory until the end of the meeting, perhaps because it came from Jaeyo’s mouth.
With both hands on her face, Chae-yoon looked at her phone with a troubled expression.
“Miss Chae-yoon, is something wrong? No response for days…”
The message Chae-yoon was looking at was from an employee who had asked what was going on with her holding hands with Jaeyo.
She had promised to contact later, and she had thought the conversation would end there, but as soon as she came to work today, she received a message.
“Is this still a topic?”
Reading the still-interested message, Chae-yoon, lost in thought, stood up from her seat.
Looking over the partition, she saw both Secretary Yang and Secretary Cho.
It seemed like a good timing, so Chae-yoon approached where the two were.
“Um, Secretary Yang.”
Secretary Yang, who was organizing documents, looked up and glanced at Chae-yoon.
“Yes, Miss. Is there anything you need?”
“No, I don’t need anything, but would you like to have a cup of tea? Secretary Cho too.”
Since it was the first time Chae-yoon had said something like this, Secretary Yang and Secretary Cho looked slightly surprised and responded, “Yes.”
The three, each with a cup of tea or coffee and cookies according to their preference, sat down at the tea table.
Awkwardness settled on the round tea table. Besides brief conversations about work, they hadn’t gathered like this before, so Secretary Yang hesitated on how to start a conversation, sipping his tea.
“Both of you must have been surprised when I suddenly suggested having tea.”
Seeming to understand Secretary Yang’s concern, Chae-yoon initiated the conversation.
At Chae-yoon’s words, Secretary Yang, who had looked somewhat surprised at first, quickly replied, “Yes? No… Yes, I was a bit surprised.”
Initially denying, Secretary Yang soon became honest, and beside him, Secretary Cho, as if in agreement, smiled faintly.
Feeling their sincerity, Chae-yoon raised the corners of her mouth in a bright smile.
“I think I’ve been a bit awkward about these things, so I’ve been alone for too long. I should have tried to have a conversation like this, sorry.”
Apologizing for her lack of experience in these matters, Chae-yoon saw Secretary Yang clapping his hands.
“Oh my, are you sorry? No, please don’t worry. Just feel free, Madam, to do as you please.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Even Secretary Jo chimed in, and Chae-yoon raised the corners of her mouth a bit more.
“Thank you. Well then, may I ask you two something?”
“Yes, of course.”
“By any chance, have you heard any rumors related to me and Manager?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, Secretaries Yang and Jo looked awkwardly at each other.
Having noticed the confusion spreading on the faces of the two employees, Chae-yoon smiled as if she expected it and asked again.
“Do you, by any chance?”
Among the two employees who were sparing with words, Secretary Yang was the first to smile and nod casually.
“Yes. But I didn’t mention the rumor because I know it’s not true. Is there any problem?”
At the mention of a problem, Secretary Jo, who was standing next to him, stiffened his shoulders.
Though Chae-yoon didn’t know exactly what rumor they were talking about, it was probably the subtle hints that Manager and she would soon divorce, and their marriage was a strategic one.
Tensing up at Chae-yoon’s question, Secretary Jo stared at Chae-yoon with a nonchalant face while clenching his fists.
“No, there’s no problem. I just wanted to know how the rumor circulated and how far it has spread.”
As Chae-yoon clearly stated what she wanted to know, Secretary Yang, after a moment of organizing his thoughts, blinked his eyes as if he was thinking and began speaking.
“The first thing I heard was that Manager is soon getting a divorce. After that, it was said that Manager and the secretary exchanged glances, and it’s only a matter of time before the two of you divorce. That’s about it.”
“I also know only about what Secretary Yang mentioned.”
Upon hearing the two’s words, Chae-yoon shook her head slightly and asked something different.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
