“Attorney…”
Jun Hwi, still seemingly fatigued, continuously wiped his face with his free hand but didn’t let go of Yeon Woo.
“Don’t do that again. That thing…”
His voice, deeper than usual, lazily tapped on Yeon Woo’s hand still in his grasp.
“Yes, yes?”
“Lips, um… lipstick.”
It must be about the dried rose color again. Was it so bad that even a half-asleep person had to comment on it?
She was flabbergasted. Yeon Woo chuckled, forgetting her initial intention to escape.
“I’ve been all day, how much… you see.”
Jun Hwi, who had just opened his eyes, slowly extended his other arm towards her.
His warm hand touched her laughing lips.
The soft press wasn’t unpleasant. Despite knowing she should push him away, she let his thumb gently sweep and press her lips, creating a gap.
“…because of this, my focus.”
His eyes, raised to meet hers, were fierce. Suddenly feeling like prey to a predator, Yeon Woo swallowed hard.
Jun Hwi’s movements didn’t miss her fluttering throat as he gently wrapped his hand around her nape, pulling her forward.
“…all day, why here…?”
“…”
Yeon Woo, now close enough to lean on Jun Hwi’s chair arm, asked softly.
His hand, once stroking the back of her neck, now swept her hair behind her ear.
The prominent knuckles of his long fingers tracing her face were distinctly felt.
His intense gaze fixed solely on her lips seemed to suggest his intention.
“Tell me, attorney.”
Yeon Woo whispered softly.
Simultaneously, Jun Hwi’s sculpted nose brushed against her nose tip.
Her hands, gripping the chair arm, tensed with anticipation.
But he, maintaining the breathlessly close distance, only hovered, tormenting her with hesitation.
‘What will happen to our relationship if I accept this?’
She pondered over the implications of getting closer to him as a superior and as a man.
Jun Hwi’s breath grew warmer as he patiently waited for her to conclude her thoughts.
His half-closed eyelids, with the delicate double eyelids, looked mesmerizing.
‘Beautiful. I want to touch.’ Driven by impulse, Yeon Woo gently stroked his eyes.
Finally closing his eyes, Jun Hwi felt her lips press against his.
The cautious kiss quickly turned passionate, consuming each other’s breath.
He pulled her onto his lap, and her hands wrapped around his neck.
They delved, chased, and fiercely stroked each other endlessly.
“Ah…”
After indulging in each other, Yeon Woo, breathless first, gently pushed him away.
Their lips parted, leaving a slight gap. Her frantic breaths synced with his. Then again, his short kisses were intoxicating.
Jun Hwi softly wiped her glossy red lips with his thumb and asked,
“What do you think about office romance?”
Ah. Her sigh-like laugh scattered through the narrow space between them.
“See, it’s too risky.”
“Is it risky now?”
With a grunt, Yeon Woo stood up from Jun Hwi’s lap, smoothing her skirt as she chuckled with ease.
“Look, just like now, in the conference room. It’s too dangerous.”
Jun Hwi also couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. Her words weren’t entirely wrong.
Just moments ago, she was all over him, affirming it was okay, and now she’s running away again, claiming it’s not okay – too mischievous. He almost forgot where he was and pounced again.
She knew exactly how to drive him crazy with her bright laughter.
“Still not easy, Kim Yeon Woo.”
His sigh was full of regret.
Jun Hwi watched as Yeon Woo fixed her hair, packed her pouch back into her bag.
“Anyway, don’t wear that lipstick again.”
Don’t show it to other guys. And with that, he quietly took her hand and kissed each fingertip, each nail.
“What. I’ll think about it. I like it.”
Yeon Woo retorted playfully as he playfully bit her little finger.
The dinner break must have ended, as noises from outside the door started to filter in.
Yeon Woo quickly detached her hand from his mouth and casually picked up her bag.
“Oh, Deputy Kim. Weren’t you leaving?”
People started to fill the once quiet situation room.
Attorney Hong Yu Kyung approached Jun Hwi with a sandwich, extending it politely. Taking advantage of the chatter, Yeon Woo quietly made her way to the exit.
As she left the conference room with her legs shaking but maintaining composure, she caught Hong’s gaze.
“…”
Why was she looking at Yeon Woo with such resentment?
It was a startling realization.
The next day. Hong’s ominous look from yesterday returned to Yeon Woo, this time with a sharp voice.
“So, you’re saying this is all my fault?”
“Attorney Hong, it’s not like that…”
“What do you mean it’s not! You’re constantly blaming me.”
Yeon Woo found herself in conflict with Attorney Hong Yu Kyung due to an unexpected incident.
The backup master laptop for the special situation room had been formatted.
This case had been handled separately from the Ro&Yul server to establish a firewall against Attorney Cha Han Bin’s team. All the data for the situation room was stored only in a separate cloud folder created on the master laptop.
All the data in that folder had disappeared.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
