“How have you been all this time?”
“Well, you know.”
In the midst of the conversation, they arrived on the second floor.
As Summer tried to enter the store, he stood beside her.
“I’m exploring the store. On duty.”
Summer nodded in agreement and walked on.
“Even so, I wanted to see you one more time.”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Considering the disciplinary measures against the employees who were disrespectful at that time, and also, I wanted to compensate for the damages. However, even after sending emails, there was no reply.”
His dark brown eyes looked at Summer with a slightly resentful expression.
“The president must have handled it skillfully. And I already mentioned that compensation is not necessary.”
“Still, my heart is not at ease. There is also…”
He seemed unsure how to address Summer, clapping his hands in frustration.
Even though the atmosphere demanded a name, he pretended not to know until the end.
With an expression of inevitability, he said,
“Our department store has made many mistakes. So, I wanted to compensate. There is more to be done.”
“President, you are unnecessarily serious.”
Suddenly, his laughter erupted.
It was so loud that everyone around turned to look.
‘Is what I said funny? Is this a joke?’
“Anyway, I’m fine, so don’t worry about it.”
Summer walked straight towards the skirt in front of her.
The employees, who had been looking indifferent, were startled and quickly bowed their heads as soon as the boss came in.
“Do you like this?”
He asked, sticking next to Summer.
“Isn’t it pretty?”
“Hmm….”
‘Seeing no response, maybe it’s not the one.’
Disappointed, Summer left the store.
The sound of the employees behind her, bending at the waist to greet, reached her ears.
Summer glanced sideways.
The boss was still there, and behind him, people who seemed to be his secretaries followed.
“Hey, boss.”
“Yes.”
“Could you step back and check your work?”
“Am I bothering you right now?”
“Yes.”
In response to Summer’s answer, he looked disappointed and wore a sullen expression.
‘Why is he like this? What’s with this pitiful act?’
“No, because the employees are all looking at you since the boss is here, it’s a bit awkward.”
“I see. Well then, I’ll go ahead.”
He extended a hand.
Although slightly apologetic, Summer walked out first.
Glancing behind, he was indeed following a few steps behind as promised.
‘Why is that boss like that for real?’
Feeling sorry for the handsome man walking listlessly, Summer continued to explore the store, keeping in mind the purpose of coming here.
Beautiful, but the prices were typical department store prices.
Meanwhile, Summer was examining only the display in front of the store.
Then, he glanced sideways again.
He was standing awkwardly, watching Summer.
‘Boss, aren’t you going to work?’
Even though he needed to pick out clothes, he couldn’t help but feel conscious of him.
Unable to help it, Summer gestured.
As if he had been waiting, he quickly approached and stood beside her.
“How about this one?”
He forced an awkward smile.
“Well, even I can see that this is for special occasions. I don’t know why department store sizes are always small.”
Hearing Summer mumble, he chuckled.
Of course, he quickly closed his mouth at the piercing gaze from Summer.
Putting the clothes back on the display, Summer walked slowly again.
Continuously standing by her side, he kept smiling brightly.
‘Maybe because I’m handsome, she’s being lenient.’
Summer smirked.
Perhaps because of that, he gathered more courage and approached her.
“But are you still with Blue House?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Why, were you worried that I might have been fired?”
“Yes.”
Summer turned to look at him.
“And if you ever want to work elsewhere, I’ll help you.”
“Is this some kind of compensation you’re suggesting, President?”
“If you wish.”
“It’s a kind offer of compensation. But since I’m still attached to that house, there’s no need for that.”
Having explored the store but not finding any clothes she liked, the boss spoke.
“The third floor might suit your taste better. It’s more casual there.”
“Really?”
“Would you like to go take a look?”
“No. And now, I think I’ll leave.”
Watching Summer reject him outright, he had a bewildered expression.
“Did I make you uncomfortable by any chance?”
“No. I’m rather thankful.”
“Yes?”
“If it weren’t for you, I might have paid a lot of money and almost bought clothes that didn’t fit. Consider this as compensation.”
“But…”
Seeing him feel sorry, Summer bowed her head towards him.
And she headed straight for the escalator.
As she was about to get on, he hurriedly spoke.
“Wouldn’t you like to have a cup of tea before leaving? I feel really sorry to send you off like this.”
“It’s okay. Then.”
Summer only stepped onto the escalator.
Watching Summer, who was gradually getting farther away, he muttered.
“She’s quite the tough nut. The more I see her, the cuter she gets.”
Jeong Rok smiled at Summer, who boldly crossed the lobby.
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.”
