If she wasn’t going to see him again, there’d be no need to worry, but with a meeting scheduled between C Pharmaceuticals and Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi in a couple of days, she was destined to face him again at the company.
A foreboding feeling swept through her.
What if the vice president, upset at seeing Yeon Woo, makes an already precarious situation worse for Roan Yul, set to potentially lose the contract?
If her actions put a dent in Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi’s efforts, whom she couldn’t even help but was working tirelessly over the weekend for?
The thought of such a worst-case scenario was truly distressing.
Yeon Woo couldn’t forgive herself for becoming a hindrance to Jun Hwi.
Though it hadn’t happened yet, she already felt immense guilt and pressure.
Perhaps the vice president, if broad-minded, might laugh it off as a sitcom-like incident. Unfortunately, the brief glimpse she had of him suggested he was far from magnanimous.
There was only one solution.
‘I must ensure I’m not seen during the meeting.’
Yeon Woo had to hide her identity as a Roan Yul employee.
But how? Being Jun Hwi’s secretary, she was naturally expected to be the main coordinator for the meeting.
She had to find a way to perfectly prepare for the meeting without catching the vice president’s attention.
That was where her focus needed to be.
Time flew, and the day of the meeting arrived.
Yeon Woo meticulously instructed the three new secretaries on what needed to be done.
“When the guests arrive on the first floor, Su Jin, you’ll need to swipe the security card at the elevator and guide them to the meeting room.”
Su Jin, a new trainee replacing the formally assigned Ji Eun, nervously took notes.
The other two were new recruits, brought in to assist with this meeting at Yeon Woo’s request.
After much brainstorming to avoid encountering the vice president, she decided to delegate her frontline duties to someone else.
She requested the HR team to send a new recruit for ‘a great learning opportunity in meeting preparation.’
This allowed Yeon Woo to only handle the preliminary and follow-up tasks, letting the new secretaries directly interact with C Pharmaceuticals.
‘And when Vice President Park Hyun Soo arrives and leaves, I’ll just hide in the bathroom like this.’
So far, Yeon Woo’s meticulous plan was going smoothly.
When C Pharmaceuticals’ group was due to arrive, she left her office and slipped into the women’s restroom.
She returned to her desk to work while the meeting was in progress and headed back to the restroom as it was about to end.
If they left, she could safely get through this.
But the meeting seemed to drag on longer than expected. Su Jin, who was supposed to signal the end, hadn’t yet contacted her.
“Ah, my legs.”
Her legs started to feel numb from sitting too long, but she endured it, not wanting to be the villain in her boyfriend’s career.
The meeting’s end was delayed much longer than expected. Growing restless after over 20 minutes, Yeon Woo finally received the long-awaited text.
[Manager, the meeting is over.]She replied she’d be there soon, calmly washing her hands and timing her re-entry.
Hiding just 10 more minutes before going in for clean-up would conclude her perfect plan.
Ten minutes later, Yeon Woo shut off her social media, checked her reflection, and prepared to leave the restroom.
“Hiding is not an ordinary task.”
After giving herself a final once-over, Yeon Woo stepped out of the women’s restroom. Simultaneously, the door of the men’s restroom opposite her opened.
“Uh…?”
Yeon Woo’s round eyes, which were absently watching ahead as if looking at a TV screen, began to quiver. The distinct facial features of the man she had seen in the subway suddenly narrowed their gaze upon seeing her.
“……!”
Naturally, she had thought that all the C Pharmaceuticals people would have left by now, but something seemed amiss.
Unexpectedly and unguardedly, Yeon Woo found herself directly facing Vice President Park Hyun Soo.
His neatly combed hair and sharply tailored suit were a stark contrast to the casual demeanor she had seen before. He exuded a sharp and sensitive aura, far from the carefree person she had encountered on the subway.
“Look at this, huh. We know each other, don’t we?”
No miracle occurred where the man failed to recognize her.
Why? Why is Vice President Park Hyun Soo still on the same floor!
As Yeon Woo stood frozen, unable to utter a word, Park Hyun Soo drove the point home.
“Right. The woman who dared to call me a swindler on the subway.”
“……Ha ha.”
What to do? Should she retreat back into the restroom?
But Park Hyun Soo’s piercing eyes seemed relentless, as if he would barge into the women’s restroom without hesitation to drag her out again.
No choice left. Despite doing everything possible, this situation had arisen.
If there’s no escape, she must confront it head-on!
With a feeling akin to entering a job interview, Yeon Woo bowed deeply, as respectfully and formally as she could.
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.
