The eyes were captivated by the person who opened the restaurant door and entered.
The people in the restaurant showed a markedly different reaction than when Su Hee made her appearance.
If cheers were immediately poured out to Su Hee, the people who discovered Seung Jo began to murmur quietly.
Seeing her faceless, one could tell she wasn’t an actress, but one couldn’t help but be drawn to her extremely attractive face.
Leaving the attention that clung to him behind, the man walked over to the table where Su Hee was sitting.
As the man strolled towards her with long strides, Su Hee’s eyes gradually widened.
“I’m a bit late.”
Could such a coincidence exist?
The person Director Kim had been waiting for turned out to be a fan he had met on the street.
Director Kim, who stood up first, offered his hand for a handshake.
“Oh, has Representative Han arrived?”
After shaking hands with Director Kim, Seung Jo extended his hand to Su Hee this time.
Caught off guard, Su Hee who had stood up, held Seung Jo’s hand.
“I am Han Seung Jo, the representative of Studio Green.”
She had heard from Chul Yong before. FL Group had acquired Studio Green.
Perhaps this fan of hers was the newly appointed representative.
“My name is Oh Su….Hee.”
As she uttered her wellknown name, the corner of Seung Jo’s mouth turned up slightly.
“I know, you’re Miss Oh Su Hee.”
Perhaps because they had been holding hands for quite a while, Seung Jo’s warmth had fully transferred to her palm.
“Please sit down.”
Only when Director Kim gestured to the empty seat next to him did Seung Jo let go of her hand.
But Seung Jo’s warmth still clung to her hand as if it had been engraved there.
Chul Yong, who had been waiting for Seung Jo to sit down, handed him his business card with both hands.
“I am Kang Chul Yong, manager of actress Oh Su Hee.”
Upon receiving the business card, Chul Yong passionately pitched to Seung Jo.
“Our Su Hee hasn’t decided on her comeback work yet. If there’s a good piece, please make sure to send it our way.”
Su Hee, who was having a break after shooting a film, also wanted to return as soon as possible.
However, in her current state, she couldn’t even utter a single line.
Swallowing the sigh that wanted to escape, Su Hee clenched her stiff lips.
Even if the piece came to the agency, it would end if Su Hee rejected it.
However,
“Let’s arrange a meeting date without needing that.”
Suddenly, Seung Jo led to an unexpected development.
In contrast to Su Hee’s darkened expression, Chul Yong’s face shone brighter than a lamp.
“A meeting date right away?”
“I’ll show you only the bestsuited works for Miss Oh Su Hee from the scripts we have till next week.”
There wasn’t even a moment to stop the overly eager Chul Yong.
“That’s good for us.”
Chul Yong immediately accepted Seung Jo’s proposal.
“Let’s adjust the time later.”
“If you set a time, we’ll match it and visit.”
As things progressed at an uncontrollable speed like a wildfire, Su Hee hastily grabbed Chul Yong’s clothes.
She tried to pull his clothes down, but Chul Yong pushed her hand away, seemingly annoyed.
Her eyebrows involuntarily narrowed, and at that moment, she met Seung Jo’s eyes.
“See you again next week, Ms. Oh Su Hee.”
“Ah……. Yes.”
Whether it was due to anxiety, she couldn’t relax her facial expression this time.
A gaze as intricate and sharp as glass swept over Su Hee in an instant.
Seung Jo’s gaze soon fell, but she felt as if he had seen everything.
In front of many people, she tried to hide her feelings, but she felt like her secret would be revealed someday.
Stinging, her heart ached.
To quell the burning sensation inside, Su Hee gulped down the alcohol.
((()))((()))((()))
“Su Hee, I bought some hangover relief medicine.”
After the grand banquet ended, Chul Yong boarded the van with a plastic bag.
“How’s your stomach? Are you okay?”
Chul Yong, who had bought hangover relief medicine at a convenience store, offered it to Su Hee who was seated in the back.
Su Hee, who was holding her aching forehead, downed the hangover relief medicine.
“You should feel better after taking this.”
Su Hee, who felt dizzy enough to make her head spin, rested her head on the seat.
She had not expected that the alcohol she had after such a long time would torture her so much.
Chul Yong took the empty bottle from Su Hee’s hand and muttered.
“But we did have a big catch today. Since the FL Group is fully supporting us, we won’t have any problems with investments, and we will get a lot of scripts from famous scriptwriters.”
Scripts, just this word made Su Hee’s stomach turn upside down.
Su Hee covered her mouth with her hand and bowed her upper body.
Her stomach churned as if she was about to throw up any moment.
“……Cancel the meeting.”
Chul Yong tilted his head as if he heard wrong.
“Postpone the meeting?”
“No, cancel it.”
“Why the meeting.”
Su Hee brushed her long brown hair with both hands and straightened her waist.
“I won’t do it.”
“Why not?”
As Chul Yong raised his voice in frustration, Su Hee parted her lips.
‘It’s not that I won’t, but I can’t.’
She swallowed back the words that were about to burst out.
Chul Yong’s eyes filled with worry at Su Hee’s unusual demeanor.
“Su Hee, is there something wrong?”
Knock knock.
Before Chul Yong could say another word, someone knocked on the driver’s side window.
As he rolled down the heavily tinted window, the figure of Seung Jo standing in front of the driver’s seat came into view.
“Can I have a word with Ms. Oh Su Hee for a moment?”
Chul Yong turned his body to the back seat to ask Su Hee for her opinion.
Chul Yong made a nod and stepped out from the driver’s seat, making way.
The door to the backseat, previously closed, opened, and Seung Jo climbed up next to Su Hee.
In the van, where not a hint of noise was allowed, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
In the silent car, Seung Jo quietly opened his lips.
“Oh Su Hee seems not wanting to work with our production company.”
“……”
“That’s what she’s saying, judging by Oh Su Hee’s expression.”
A good script, a good production company. There was nothing to refuse.
Yet there was only one reason to refuse.
She couldn’t act. No matter how much she wanted to, no matter how hard she tried.
“It’s not that I don’t want to work together.”
“Then you should know that the offer in front of you is an opportunity you should grab, not miss.”
Rather than showing imperfect acting, she wanted to tie the end as a perfect actress now.
She didn’t want to leave a stain on the past days she had been working tirelessly.
“Don’t act again. It’s your mother’s last wish.”
Her mother’s wish, which she had so desperately wanted, came true.
In the end, she was forced to give up acting.
“I……”
Ping, she closed her mouth for a moment as tears seemed to spring up.
Su Hee, whose lower lip was trembling, bit it and managed to hold back her tears.
The words that had been sorted out escaped with the hot breath she had been holding.
“I’m sorry, but I’m retiring.”
“……”
“So, I can’t attend the meeting.”
A provisional retirement declaration.
She made it in front of Han Seung Jo, whom she had met for the first time.

At that time, a new post went up on a YouTuber community dealing with celebrity issues.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

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.
