A special promotion and head of the employee training team were the rewards offered by the chairman.
Yeon Woo stood up, shaking her head.
“I refuse. Call me foolish if you must.”
To agree to face Park Hyun Soo even till the contract’s signing would be a betrayal to her boyfriend, Kwon Jun Hwi. She would never do that.
Yeon Woo was not in a relationship with Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi of Lo&Yul, but with the man Kwon Jun Hwi.
“Unfortunately, the advisory contract has fallen through. But I will apologize to Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi, not the chairman.”
“Hey, Deputy Kim!”
A sharp reprimand followed Yeon Woo as she rose from her seat.
“Stubborn, aren’t you! Well, I have no reason to force you if you don’t want to.”
Now showing a backtracking attitude.
Yeon Woo was utterly disappointed in Chairman Kim Ju Hwan, whom she had respected until now. She became completely disillusioned with the organization of Lo&Yul.
“What if you misunderstand my old-fashioned words and take offense?”
“…”
“Just deliver that one piece of data for my face’s sake and be done with it.”
To the very end…!
Yeon Woo turned back, but the chairman seemed to have long lost interest in her, preoccupied with his meal.
“The meeting is over. You may leave now.”
Ultimately, Yeon Woo had to leave the restaurant, clutching the external hard drive as if she was being chased out.
‘What should I do?’
Back at her desk, Yeon Woo couldn’t find a way out. Staring at the external hard drive for hours only brought sighs.
Should she have told Jun Hwi about Park Hyun Soo’s unreasonable demands sooner?
But there was never the right timing, especially with the ongoing tensions about the Jeju trip.
‘Nothing seems to get resolved easily…’
As she was deep in thought, a vibration signaled Jun Hwi’s long-awaited reply.
Yeon Woo quickly checked her phone.
[I’ll arrive in Seoul quite late. Don’t wait for me.]Ah. Even this message was unsatisfactory.
Yeon Woo flopped face down on her desk.
She wanted to rush to the airport to see him, to vent about these absurd happenings.
‘Should I ask Su Jin to meet Park Hyun Soo and hand over the hard drive?’
No, that’s wrong. Passing off unwanted and tricky tasks to a junior is not the right thing to do.
Yeon Woo didn’t want to drag Su Jin into her muddy mess with Park Hyun Soo.
No choice then. This will be the last time.
She would hand over the drive and then spill everything to Jun Hwi, vowing to avoid any contact with C Pharma henceforth.
It was the best she could wring out of the situation.
Resolved, Yeon Woo called the secretary office of C Pharma’s vice president.
[F Hotel 2nd Floor Grand Ballroom – VIP Lounge]“It’s convenient not having to go all the way to Gangnam.”
Yeon Woo entered the F Hotel, the location sent by Park Hyun Soo’s secretary via text.
Park Hyun Soo and his staff were attending a pharmaceutical forum, just a 5-minute walk from their company.
On the 2nd floor of the F Hotel, amidst the dimly lit lobby, Yeon Woo called Park Hyun Soo’s secretary.
I never intended to meet the vice president alone. My plan was just to hand over the external hard drive in the presence of his secretary and be done with it.
But the secretary didn’t answer the phone.
Busy with the event, maybe? Waiting for the secretary’s response, Yeon Woo sat on a sofa in front of the Grand Ballroom, catching her breath.
‘Ah, right. I haven’t replied yet.’
Yeon Woo, having forgotten due to her preoccupation, belatedly replied to Jun Hwi’s text.
[I’m at the F Hotel for a bit, on a task for the chairman. It’s related to C Pharma. Please contact me when you arrive, no matter how late!]Just after sending the reply, she received a call from Park Hyun Soo’s secretary. The event was in full swing, so she was asked to wait a little longer inside the lounge.
With that, Yeon Woo stood up and cautiously opened the door to the VIP lounge, a little away from the Grand Ballroom.
Inside the cozy lounge, decorated with wood tones, a refreshing scent wafted gently. From the wooden tea table to the solid business desks, every piece of furniture exuded luxury.
Yeon Woo sat on a fabric sofa in the middle, placing her handbag and external hard drive down, and took a deep breath.
‘After this, it’s really goodbye to C Pharma.’
Holding on to that thought, she tried to manage the annoyance and irritation flooding in.
That’s when her phone vibrated long. It was a call from Jun Hwi.
‘Has my boyfriend finally softened up?’
With a feeling of relief, Yeon Woo eagerly pressed the call button.
“Yes, Attorney.”
[—]Hotel? What errand.His impatient nature made him immediately ask what he was curious about.
Unsure whether his anger had subsided or not, Yeon Woo felt slightly resentful.
“There’s a personal task from the chairman, um, I’ll tell you about it later. Did you finish your work? When are you leaving Jeju?”
[—]I am now[—].Suddenly, the sound of a door being flung open echoed.
Yeon Woo apologized to Jun Hwi and hurriedly ended the call, then instinctively turned towards the entrance she came through.
But the entrance door remained firmly closed.
Where did the sound come from then?
As Yeon Woo looked around, her eyes caught a door in the inner part of the lounge that she hadn’t noticed before.
“……!”
The person who came out of the door was Park Hyun Soo.
Moreover, he was dressed only in a towel wrapped around his lower half, his upper body bare.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
