There were many difficulties, but you are the most difficult one, she couldn’t dare to say the truth.
Those persistent black eyes waiting for an answer.
Yeon Woo, as a secretary, felt a sense of duty to give some kind of answer.
“Hard times? None at all.”
“······I see.”
She was especially thankful for his nature of not being interested in other people’s affairs that day.
Yeon Woo quickly tidied up her place and tried to leave this uncomfortable spot.
“If you want to cry on the rooftop, tell me in advance. So that I can avoid Kim, the deputy.”
“No! I didn’t cry.”
“But you are crying right now.”
“Well, yes. I am crying now. I usually… Uh, no, actually…”
So, did you cry or not?
Her usually red nose especially aroused Jun Hwi’s interest that day.
Like it would burst if you pressed it hard. It made him want to press it.
“It’s quite contradictory. If you don’t want to talk, just say it.”
“Yes. No! That’s not it either…”
It was fun to see her, who was usually stiff, showing a lot of vulnerability.
Attacking other people’s vulnerabilities and digging into them was both a specialty and nature of the lawyer, Kwon Jun Hwi.
“I understand.”
“······Ah.”
“If I tease you more, you might really burst into tears.”
‘Is this man really teasing me right now?’
She was quite angry, but she didn’t want to keep wrestling with him over this trivial matter.
Yeon Woo bowed slightly and turned around to quickly leave his territory, but she was pulled back as if by the nape of her neck.
“Attorney Kwon.”
“What.”
“Just forget it. What you saw of me here.”
Yeon Woo, who had spoken assertively and then became timid again, bit her lower lip slightly.
Kwon Jun Hwi was not the type to gossip, but she had to make sure he wouldn’t say anything!
“I am not as interested in your affairs as you think.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
He kept patronizing Yeon Woo until the end.
When did Kwon Jun Hwi’s human side, like his consideration, disappear?
Facing him, who was slightly more elusive than usual, she flashed a faintly hypocritical smile, and Yeon Woo completely left the rooftop.
And that day, surprisingly, passed quietly and safely without anyone looking for Yeon Woo shouting ‘Deputy!’
“When the meeting is over, you have to keep the content written on the whiteboard and then erase it. Here, press the print button or take a photo with your mobile phone.”
“Yes, Deputy.”
“Security is a matter of life, so tidy up everything, without any written memo or document left.”
The meeting room just ended with P car.
While Yeon Woo was training a new employee on how to clean up after a meeting, she saw attorney Kwon Jun Hwi walking down the hallway after saying goodbye to a client.
Walking confidently with long strides. Broad shoulders that would be hard to bear without a suit tailored to his body. Smooth bangs hanging halfway down a perfect forehead. And a sleek nose.
Indeed, once his stern expression relaxed a bit, he was a man whose appearance was flawless.
“Deputy.”
“Yes, Counselor.”
A voice that called Yeon Woo softly on rare occasions.
“You said you could speak French. I heard from the HR team that you even took some classes in college.”
“Ah…”
Right. She took a general course and even learned a little in high school. But knowing and ‘doing well’ are two different matters…!
“Yes. I know some.”
“What’s your level?”
“I can carry on basic conversations, but I’m not fluent.”
After about a second of consideration, Yeon Woo decided to be honest. If she lied about her abilities at the company, it could cause bigger problems.
“Your resume said you’re advanced. Is that not true?”
Hmm. When job hunting, isn’t it basic to pull together bits and pieces of second and third languages to beef up your resume, even if it’s for the sake of getting a job? Of course, actual skills are a separate matter.
Before Yeon Woo could explain that she really couldn’t do it and didn’t have the confidence, Jun Hwi spoke about his intention without waiting for her answer.
“There’s a dinner party hosted by the French Business Association next weekend. Most of our French clients will be there, and the HR team recommended you to go with me.”
“What?”
“As my partner.”
Did she hear that correctly? Yeon Woo doubted her ears.
“You can even have simple conversations in French. You should also be familiar with basic French culture.”
“Uh, Counselor…”
In the business structure of Roan Yule, lawyers are the ones who directly contact clients in the field, while secretaries support the lawyers, playing a backoffice support role.
But now, Kwon Jun Hwi was telling Yeon Woo to run the field with him. Quite confidently.
“I don’t think that’s my area.”
“……”
Ah. Most of Kwon Jun Hwi’s expressions were impassive, but he was especially cold at this moment when he looked down on Yeon Woo with a dispassionate gaze.
The longer his silence, the more Yeon Woo had to swallow dry saliva.
‘But if you can’t do it, you have to say so to avoid getting in trouble later.’
And the most troublesome thing was that Yeon Woo hadn’t fully grasped the dinner party yet.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
