Shin Yeon, who had arrived at Do Jun’s seat, handed him the original documents.
He, who had been calmly sipping coffee and looking at the monitor, looked up at her.
“Did you have a good trip?”
It seemed that Do Jun was cautiously putting on a tender tone, conscious of the surroundings.
He had an affectionate look in his eyes that could hurt his heart.
‘That pretentious…….’
From the outside, it would have seemed like Shin Yeon was handing over the documents, and the newbie was gladly receiving them.
Life is a comedy when viewed from the outside.
“Yes. I returned well.”
“You worked hard.”
But it is a tragedy when viewed closely.
You’ve worked hard. Unbelievable.
Moreover, at the words of Shin Yeon, who said she had been there, he turned his gaze back to the monitor as if he was done.
Wow, seriously.
“Oh, by the way, newbie. Thank you for the coffee errand.”
Seeing him in some way made Shin Yeon want to scratch at his insides.
“Not at all.”
“There were many team members, so it must have been heavy. You’ve suffered a lot.”
Anyone could see that it was a nasty comment.
“I have to do that much. I’m a newbie.”
Perhaps because it was an office, Do Jun’s tone was very polite.
Shin Yeon was satisfied with his quiet appearance after a long time.
Even if you get chewed out, you have to heal sometimes.
Still, I miss the time when that comment was sincere…….
“Manager, enjoy your drink.”
When Shin Yeon returned to her seat, Min Daeri also greeted her with his coffee.
“Yeah, drink a lot. Drink twice.”
“Thank you.”
Shin Yeon, who returned lightly, looked at her desk.
The vanilla latte, which she assumed would obviously be on her desk.
“Huh? Where’s my coffee?”
It wasn’t there.
You little…… Surely not.
“Huh? Manager said you had too many drinks today, so you wouldn’t…….”
Collapsed.
It felt as if her heart sank.
I’m the only one missing…….
“Ah…… Right. I did.”
When Shin Yeon couldn’t hide her dumbfounded expression, Min Daeri tilted his head as if he was curious.
I do the copying, and you guys drink the coffee, that’s it.
Shin Yeon, who couldn’t let go of her foolishness until the end, headed towards Do Jun’s seat again.
“Isn’t it really petty to do this with food?”
Fortunately, his seat was empty, so Shin Yeon blurted out without being conscious of the surroundings.
Right? Maybe it didn’t matter if someone was next to her.
I’m sad.
It’s especially sad to do this with food at work.
“It’s because of who, I bought a lot, so I ran out of money.”
It seemed that Do Jun found Shin Yeon’s chirping amusing, his face was full of playfulness as he spoke.
“Coffee is expensive.”
He seemed very interested in Shin Yeon’s seriously upset reaction.
Even after she grumbled and went back to her seat, Do Joon’s smile lingered on his lips for a while.
((()))
Swoosh.
Shin Yeon, who had left work late again today, stopped in the lobby.
Even though she left earlier than yesterday, the darkened hallway felt strange.
As if mocking the bright daylight, a cold summer rain was pouring outside.
It was a downpour that didn’t allow for a single step without an umbrella.
“What the, there was no forecast for rain.”
Shin Yeon hated rainy days.
It rained just like this on that day too.
The day of that incident and the day she broke up with that jerk.
Every day she could name as painful in her life always came with rain.
“Maybe I should just stay a bit longer……”
She mumbled to herself and stretched her hand out towards the lobby.
Drip Drip Drip.
She let the rain flow over her hand.
“Don’t you have an umbrella?”
Suddenly, she frowned at the sound of a familiar voice.
It was Do Joon.
He didn’t even give her time to enjoy the view.
“There’s a spare umbrella in the office.”
“Well, that’s fortunate.”
Having finished speaking, he nonchalantly opened the umbrella in his hand.
Really despicable.
Not just because of the coffee.
As he seemed to enjoy this situation more and more, Shin Yeon started to get irritated.
Again, it’s not because of the coffee.
“If it’s a hassle to go back, you can share.”
Do Joon, whom she thought was going alone, turned back towards her.
“I’m good. Go alone.”
She refused.
She didn’t want to put up with the irritation even outside of the office.
She needed to go home.
“Why. Because I didn’t give you coffee?”
“No…… Not that!”
“Then why.”
“Because it’s uncomfortable. Just think about it from my perspective. It’s so awkward with the chairman’s son.”
Her morning vow to not show any signs of discomfort around him was over.
Shin Yeon curtly responded to his words.
She’s not refusing to do her job, she just wants to go home alone. Why the fuss?
“Okay. I’m going to take a taxi, go alone.”
“Let’s go together, newbie.”
As soon as Do Joon finished speaking, Shin Yeon took a step closer to him.
As she moved under his umbrella, their height difference became more apparent.
Do Joon was a good 25cm taller than Shin Yeon.
“I thought you said it was uncomfortable.”
“I was impulsive.”
Please take me with you.
Looking down at Shin Yeon, who was putting on a pitiful expression, Do Joon chuckled.
Dingdingding.
As they were exchanging words, a bell sound, louder than the pouring rain, rang out.
It was Do Joon’s phone.
Having checked the screen, Do Joon handed the umbrella he was holding to her.
“Just wait here. I have a call.”
“Take your time.”
I’ll wait, no matter how long.
As Shin Yeon took the umbrella from him with a determined expression, Do Joon distanced himself a little with his phone.
[Can you talk?]
It was Jun Oh Kim.
“I’m good.”
[I’ve secured President Park’s shares. There won’t be any problem since it was done under a pseudonym.]
“How much is left?”
Beyond Do Joon, who was holding his phone, Shin Yeon was seen spinning the umbrella around.
A distance visible, but not audible.
[About 9 percent compared to Do Hyeon’s shares.]
A vivid summer rain was pouring over the calm lakeside.
However, the rainy season had not yet started.
For now, it was just a single stream of water scattering on the lake.
Watching the scattering droplets, the creatures by the water prepared for the long rainy season.
And the ugly duckling.
“Secure as much as you can. It could come down to a 0.1% fight.”
Was preparing to become a swan.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
