“This is the way.”
A way to return?
Su Hee, who reached out her hand, lifted the tablet.
She then plugged a Bluetooth earphone into one ear and looked at the tablet screen.
[“Hello, partner”] [“I’m still in love.”] [“Family”]Three files were recorded in the voice memo.
After scanning the familiar file names, Su Hee played the topmost recording.
[New 1. Mars fortress road. Amidst the thickly grown reed field. A man is lying down, looking up at the black sky. His face is bloody, as if he could stop breathing at any moment.] Su Hee took her eyes off the tablet and looked at me, Seung Jo.The voice that reached her ear was Seung Jo’s, and what he was reading was the script.
A single episode’s content was recorded in a 30minute file.
It had been almost a year since she first encountered a script after .
Before she knew it, Su Hee, who had been listening to Seung Jo’s voice, was quietly listening to the script.
Her heart pounded as if it was jumping out of her body.
With this method, she could perform without having to read the script herself.
Only after the audio file was over did Su Hee shift her gaze to Seung Jo.
Seung Jo was waiting, in his unchanged posture, until Su Hee heard all the audio files.
“Can you do it? Act?”
At Seung Jo’s question, Su Hee slowly nodded her head.
Her heart, full of anticipation, felt as if it would burst.
The fact that she could spit out the lines, that she could act, was as vital as breathing to Su Hee.
She was finally able to do something that she had taken for granted, like breathing in and out.
“I can do it, with this method.”
A bright smile spread across Su Hee’s face, like a child’s.
Seeing Su Hee unable to hide her joy, Seung Jo felt a twinge of guilt.
Because he hadn’t handed the script to Su Hee without any conditions.
“I will support Ms. Oh Su Hee so she can safely finish filming. In the same way as now.”
Of course, from Su Hee’s point of view, there was no reason to reject Seung Jo’s proposal.
However, the plan that Seung Jo laid out was one that would consume his time and energy.
“Is Representative Han Seung Jo okay with it?”
“What are you talking about?”
Su Hee, removing the earphone from her ear, cautiously asked.
“Recording like this every time is not easy. It’s going to be a hassle, and it’ll take time.”
“I didn’t say I would volunteer.”
“Huh?”
“I’m also doing business. I won’t devote my time to Ms. Oh Su Hee without any compensation.”
Su Hee had assumed so naturally that Seung Jo would help her.
Probably because Seung Jo had said he was a fan before.
Embarrassed, Su Hee bit her lips inward before asking,
“Do you want something?”
“Let’s do your comeback project with our production company.”
That was not a difficult condition at all.
When choosing a project, the most cautious consideration was the script, not the production company.
Her lips parted to answer immediately, but Seung Jo spoke first.
“And admit to the dating rumors.”
This needed some thought.
No, it needed a lot of thought.
“Do I really have to admit to the dating rumors?”
“There’s no need to deny it if it’s beneficial to both of us.”
She wondered what was going on in that man’s head.
Why on earth was he suggesting they admit to the dating rumors?
“How does this dating rumor benefit you, CEO Han Seung Jo?”
“I told you. I need a dating rumor.”
It was Su Hee who had arbitrarily hoped, but she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Su Hee sullenly expressed her dissatisfaction.
“I thought you were doing me a favor.”
“Business is business, and personal is personal.”
“So this is business now?”
“Business, yes.”
Wow, how mean.
He had been so sweet it could make her cry, but now he was cold enough not to bleed even if pricked.
“Are you cursing me with your eyes? It seems less painful if you say it.”
Accurately pinpointed, Su Hee cast her gaze downward.
“I think I need some time to think.”
“Just remember that delaying your decision only postpones your comeback.”
Despite his polite tone, his words felt like a rush.
“Weren’t you like a loan shark just now?”
“Are there any loan sharks as kind as me?”
“You just said you’re kind with your own mouth, right?”
“It sounds like you’re mocking me.”
She meant it to sound that way.
“You judge that, CEO.”
She didn’t intend to beg like a child, but a forced smile appeared on her face.
Then, the phone she had in her trouser pocket rang.
Looking at the screen, it was a call from Chul Yong.
It seemed he had called out of concern as she had been up in the penthouse for nearly an hour and had not come down yet.
As the call from Chul Yong ended, Su Hee put her phone back in her pocket and stood up.
“I’ll contact you again.”
As it wasn’t a matter that could be decided immediately, Su Hee needed time.
Turning around, Su Hee walked out of the corridor and towards the entrance.
Then she tried to pull the long, vertical handle of the door lock, but the door did not open.
Wondering if the door lock attached to this expensive house was broken, she pulled it a bit harder.
“It’s not about pulling, but pushing.”
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.
