“We are busy, but Vice President Kang and the CEO said they would handle the aftermath. We came on behalf of the CEO. He was worried about you, saying you might be feeling depressed after reading the articles and asked us to come over and keep you company.”
Director Song, who went into the kitchen, took out the packed food from the table. He took out Se-kyung’s portion separately, placed it on a plate, and patted her, urging her to eat.
Se-kyung, who mixed the rice and meat with a spoon, met eyes with Jae-hoon sitting across from her. After chewing a bite of rice and meat, she asked Jae-hoon.
“Were you surprised? Hearing that I’m pregnant?”
Although she had revealed that she was dating Tae-jo, she had not disclosed the fact that she was pregnant. Jae-hoon, rolling his eyes with a clatter, shook his head.
“Yes, a little.”
“You noticed that I was dating the CEO, right? I didn’t even drink coffee and couldn’t eat well.”
“Well, I thought it was because your sister’s taste changed, considering she has a child and all.”
“Mr. Song, he’s teasing me!”
“Why touch the sore spot?” Jae-hoon pretended to cry. Seeing him like that, Director Song, who burst into laughter, turned to Se-kyung.
“By the way, Miss Se-kyung, I have something curious.”
“What is it?”
“You sent me a handwritten letter this morning. The one you wrote again. Is the content real?”
“Oh, that…”
Se-kyung’s cheeks blushed with embarrassment.
After the news broke, Director Song suggested posting the letter she had previously written on her official SNS to express her position on the current situation. However, the letter she had written before seemed a bit insufficient in expressing her stance on the current article.
At that time, Tae-jo’s existence had not been revealed, so there was no mention of him.
It simply stated that she was thinking of getting married to the person she was currently meeting and that a child came early. So, when she wrote the letter again this time, she poured out all her honest emotions.
The story of when and where I met Tae-jo, and how I have liked him continuously from that first meeting until now.
“I thought they just made up the story about placing Moon Actor in the middle. Did you really meet our CEO when you were shooting with Moon Actor?”
“Yes.”
“And you fell for him at first sight?”
Se-kyung nodded slightly. Jae-hoon, who had been listening to the story, grinned and asked.
“Where did I hear that before? By any chance, is he the one that Unnie Yuna mentioned, your first love?”
“What? First love?”
Song Director, nearby, yelled a dolphin scream at this romantic talk.
“Well, if you’ve liked him for so long, why didn’t you confess sooner?”
“All the actresses who confessed to the CEO got rejected.”
At Se-kyung’s response, Director Song, belatedly recalling, slapped his palm with his fist.
“Oh, right. I forgot about it since you’re dating Se-kyung.”
As Director Song scratched his head in embarrassment, Se-kyung laughed.
“But how did you figure it out, exactly? I mean, about my pregnancy.”
Looking puzzled, Se-kyung looked at Jae-hoon in front of her. He twitched and, avoiding Se-kyung’s gaze, turned to Director Song.
“…?”
Sensing something odd, Se-kyung looked at Director Song.
“What’s going on? Do you guys know something?”
Director Song, closing his eyes, made a groaning sound.
It wasn’t like the CEO had forbidden him from saying it, but was it okay to reveal this?
“Well…”
Director Song sighed, hesitated, and then began to speak, glancing at the new manager.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

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.
