Shin Yeon was dazzled by that extraordinary intro.
“Ah, so that’s how the newbie felt.”
“I think I may have misunderstood.”
Shin Yeon and Do Jun continued the conversation with beaming smiles.
The atmosphere chilled at the lighthearted conversation that seemed like a joke, rather it was the employees who were taken aback.
They thought the newbie might be saying something without knowing, but they were certainly feeling it.
Lately, Shin Yeon’s attitude towards him was distinctly different.
“Hey, what woman wouldn’t be interested in Hyun Woo.”
She gritted her teeth and earned money.
The ink on the contract she signed had not yet dried.
But a contract takes effect the moment it is signed.
“He is handsome and makes fun jokes, how could anyone not be interested?”
A capitalist smile floated over Shin Yeon’s face.
Rather, those who were watching were anxious and uneasy.
“Ma, Manager. Then the boyfriend….”
Min’s voice was cautious.
“Ah, that boyfriend?”
Shin Yeon opened her lips as if it was nothing.
“We broke up.”
“What? Already?”
“Yes, already.”
Min was somewhat surprised by the immediate answer, but Kim Jae Hee was satisfied with the answer that they had broken up.
Shin Yeon, well, that’s it.
“Why?”
“He was handsome and rich, everything was good. But.”
“But?”
Shin Yeon, who was talking, suddenly shifted her gaze to Do Jun.
Then she glared at him and said,
“He’s a total jerk.”
Do Jun watched Shin Yeon openly targeting him and chuckled at the absurdity.
Shin Yeon did not back down and continued to speak.
“Like a bit of a sociopath.”
She used the clear present tense so he wouldn’t misunderstand.
This means it’s still valid.
“Sociopath?”
“Yes. He acts very nice in front of other people. He speaks beautifully, pays with his card, it’s not a big deal….”
“Not a big deal?”
“When we’re left alone, he’s really unpleasant. He thinks he’s the boss. He speaks sharply.”
This was just a bit of revenge.
Also, it was a clear start of a contract relationship.
Didn’t I say it? I will say what I have to say.
“Oh my. He acts like that when you’re alone?”
“Yes. It’s serious.”
“Manager Shin’s taste is a bit different from mine. I like it when it’s powerful and rough when we’re alone….”
“It should be roughly adequate, not too rough… huh?”
Suddenly realizing the conversation had taken a different turn, Shin Yeon abruptly came to her senses.
“When we’re alone, like, hehe…… don’t you like that sort of thing?”
Min, the deputy, said with a blush on her face.
Why are you blushing, Deputy Min?
Pull yourself together. That’s not the topic right now.
“Ah, oh my. Even Deputy Min. There’s a newbie here too.”
Following that, Kim Jae Hee covered her mouth pretending to be innocent and said.
“Oh! I’m sorry. Mr. Hyun Woo. I thought you had already left because you were so quiet!”
Deputy Min, who was completely absorbed in the conversation, quickly turned around and apologized.
“It’s okay.”
Do Jun looked at her with a bright smile, as if he didn’t care at all.
“Ah yes. I’ll enjoy the manager’s coffee.”
And then he calmly picked up the coffee cup in front of Shin Yeon.
Shin Yeon, who saw her own coffee being kidnapped right in front of her eyes, widened her eyes.
The moment she watched the coffee abduction scene felt slow like a slowmotion scene.
Hey? What’s this all about?
“Thank you every time.”
Every time?
“Well then, I’ll be on my way.”
Leaving a smile and a greeting, Do Jun drank his coffee and quietly returned to his seat.
Shin Yeon was so dumbfounded that she couldn’t say anything.
What kind of new concept of bullying is this?
Stealing my morning coffee on an already tiring Monday morning?
Are you a thug?
Just then, while Shin Yeon was staring at Do Jun’s back with a ridiculous look on her face.
Slap.
“Ah, it’s hot! What are you. Why!”
“You’re really crazy, Shin Yeon.”
Kim Jae Hee slapped Shin Yeon’s back as if to wake her up.
“Were you giving your morning coffee to the newbie every morning? Wow, I didn’t think so, but you’re such a fox.”
Shin Yeon rubbed her burning back and glared at Kim Jae Hee.
It’s unfair.
“Ah, what are you talking about. That’s not it…! No.”
Trying to make an excuse, suddenly, anger surged up.
“Hey, Kim Jae Hee. You.”
“Me?”
“You were the one who asked the newbie to go watch a movie.”
“What, what?”
Kim Jae Hee’s eyes widened in surprise.
“And. Why on earth are you contacting Mr. Lee Hyun Woo over the weekend?”
“H, how did you know that!”
“Don’t you know that I live in the same building? I could hear all your whining on the phone. Why!”
“Ha, really funny! She’s just making up a story!”
She’s acting behind my back and slapping my back?
Shin Yeon, clutching her freezing back, spat out a killer glance.
Deputy Min was just stamping her feet at the sight of the two managers fighting over one man.
“Shin Yeon, what’s with that vibrant voice early in the morning. Ah, it’s hot! So hot.”
What Kim Jae Hee had chosen was a tightrope.
Although the air conditioner was chilly enough to cause a cold, Kim Jae Hee returned to his seat, fanning himself with his hand as if he was hot.
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.
