As a fierce workaholic, he was a person who worked incessantly day and night. Except for necessary meetings and entertainment, which he squeezed in between his work, it didn’t seem like he had any distractions.
Did this man even have any joys in life? There were times when she was curious about that. But seeing that he attended concerts confirmed that he was not a machine, but a human.
Apart from that… well… but she had often seen people here at this law firm where work and study were their whole life, so she figured he might be similar.
What could be so important for him to ask for the whole morning off? She was curious.
She was focused on the woman who made him smile when he said goodbye.
However, there’s no point in being curious about the ‘personal’ schedule of someone. Yeon Woo entered the lobby, selfconsciously blocking the curiosity that was slowly rising in her.
“Hey, Hye Jin. Shall we take the next elevator?”
By the end of lunchtime, the first floor of Roan Yule was crowded with people waiting for the elevator. Jun Hwi, who was taller than everyone else by a head, was there too.
While Yeon Woo grabbed the newbie’s sleeve and made excuses to avoid crossing paths with him, he passed through the crowd and opened the door to the emergency stairs.
Phew. Yeon Woo, who had taken a deep breath, changed her mind and took the elevator that had just arrived.
A large bookstore near the office.
As she was rummaging through the TOEIC study book corner for quite a while, Yeon Woo’s phone in her bag vibrated. It was a representative number from Roan Yule.
Who would call someone off work with such rudeness? Still, she was not resigned yet so she couldn’t ignore it. Hmm, Yeon Woo, who cleared her throat lightly, answered the call.
Hello. Are you the secretary for attorney Kwon Jun Hwi?
“Yes, I’m the one in charge.”
He’s not coming in for a call meeting right now. He’s not answering his mobile phone. Do you happen to have a contact for him?
What is this about?
‘Workaholic missing a meeting!’
It was something that could not happen to Kwon Jun Hwi. She hastily hung up with a promise to look into it and immediately called him. He did not answer the second call either. It was the first time he hadn’t answered the phone for such a long time.
She recalled his schedule. There was a call meeting at 6:40 in the evening, the meeting he should have been attending by now. And before that… personal schedule.
What on earth could his personal schedule be? Despite her urgency, the image of him smiling at a woman getting into a car came to mind.
He didn’t answer the third call either. As she was making the call, Yeon Woo exited the bookstore and saw the Roan Yule building across the street.
Should she go back to the office?
There was no guarantee that he was still at the office, and she had a Pilates class to go to soon.
While feeling conflicted between an immense hassle and a tiny bit of duty as a secretary, she bit her thumb. Yeon Woo’s sigh turned into a white breath and spread into the air.
‘He might really have something going on.’
Eventually, following the voice of her conscience, she turned her steps back to the office.
Whether she liked it or not, he was still her boss. Her innate sense of responsibility pushed Yeon Woo to do her best, no matter what.
The office, where everyone had left work, was quiet on the entire floor. Only the sound of Yeon Woo’s shoes echoed dully on the carpeted floor.
The hallway was mostly dark, except for the minimal lights turned on. Yeon Woo, without much concern, was on her way to her desk when she saw a faint light leaking through the opaque window of Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi’s office and headed straight for his room.
‘Hasn’t he left work yet? Then why didn’t he answer the call?’
The door, which he always halfopened when he was inside, was strangely shut tight.
But the light was on inside, strange. Yeon Woo, tilting her head, knocked carefully on the door.
“Attorney, are you inside?”
Ah. At Yeon Woo’s knock, what she thought was a closed door was pushed inward. It must not have been completely closed. Yeon Woo inadvertently opened the door at the same time as she knocked.
“Attorney…?”
Since the door was open, Yeon Woo took a step inside.
“Gasp!”
… And then she froze in place, gripping the doorknob.
Through the open door gap, the warm air poured out stickily. Mixed in there was the strong scent of a floral woman’s perfume that strangely annoyed her.
He was sitting in the desk chair. But he was not his usual sturdy castlelike self. His shirt buttons were undone, revealing his bare skin, and his head was completely thrown back.
A strange woman was touching his sturdylooking chest, pressing her face close to his. She lifted her head as she sensed someone’s presence.
“…!”
Um. Jun Hwi’s distinct Adam’s apple quivered with a low moan. The woman, who had been stroking his skin, stopped her hand and stared at Yeon Woo.
The weak light of the desk lamp reflected off the woman’s tantalizing blond curls. Her pale blue eyes widened shakily, seemingly quite taken aback as well.
“Wha, what is this…?”
A trembling hand instinctively covered her mouth. Even though she had made a loud sound, he was still letting out weak moans and looking disheveled. It was certain he didn’t know Yeon Woo was seeing everything. How absorbed he must have been!
The unidentified woman awkwardly approached Yeon Woo, her lips moving as if trying to initiate conversation.
She really didn’t want to hear a word.
“I’m sorry for the intrusion.”
Yeon Woo barely spit out in a cracking voice and forcefully slammed the door shut.
Bam, the sound of her heart dropping into the abyss echoed louder than the sound of the door closing.
She had completely forgotten why she had returned to the office.
Only the image of the blonde woman overlapped with his naked body lingered in her sight.
Trying to shake off the afterimage, she squeezed her eyes shut, and his slow, resonating bass voice lingered in her ears.
Trying to shake everything off, she walked aimlessly and before she knew it, she had left the office. Yeon Woo harshly pressed the elevator button and sank down into a squat.
“Ha….”
She couldn’t believe what she had just seen.
Sure, why should she care about Kwon Jun Hwi’s personal life! It’s not her business whether he’s with a woman or a man.
Yet, for someone with such thoughts, a tormented moan of anguish involuntarily escaped, her head clutched in her hands.
“Ha ha.”
A hollow laugh slipped out. It seemed like it was truly time to quit. Her passion and energy were insufficient to remain in this organization, embracing even the clandestine personal life of her boss.
Moreover, Kwon Jun Hwi held a significant share in her decision to resign. Because he had tormented Yeon Woo most recently, and from the closest distance.
But this betrayal, rushing uncontrollably… how could she explain it?
Before she could even chew it over, she heard the sound of someone hastily approaching.
It was no time to leisurely wait for the elevator. Yeon Woo opened the emergency stairwell door and started to descend the stairs in one swift move.
No, she tried to descend. If it weren’t for Yeon Woo’s arm being firmly grasped by Jun Hwi’s hand.
“Kim Yeon Woo!”
Jun Hwi, who had run desperately, gasped for breath and called her.
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.
