Hye Won did not seem like she could handle such a big job.

“But, Vice President, will Executive Director Ha Tae Beom share classified information with Yoon Hye Won?”
“That’s impossible from the start. If he hires lawyer Kim Yang Hoon, maybe, but the information that Deputy Yoon brings is nothing more than public property.”
Ji Seok spoke firmly, not expecting anything.

Ji Seok tapped Hye Won’s report with his finger and threw it away like a trivial item.

“I’m not expecting such crappy information.”
“……”
“I wish Deputy Yoon would get along with Executive Director Ha for a long time.”
Ji Seok shifted his gaze to the secretary.

“Does Executive Ha not know? He must know that I put Yoon Hye Won in.”
“Then why……”
The secretary, who had ambiguously interpreted his words, still had a worried expression.

It was hard to grasp what Ji Seok was thinking.

However, Ji Seok ambiguously tied it up, saying he had nothing more to say.

“You’ll see. How faithfully Yoon Hye Won fulfills her role.”
“Do you really think Yoon Deputy will hold up well? She won’t quit in the middle…”
“It’s okay. She won’t give up easily.”
The real purpose of sending Hye Won to Tae Beom was elsewhere.

Ji Seok gave a sly smile.

Yang Hoon left the seat saying he would make a call.

Tae Beom, who was sipping his drink, glanced at Hye Won.

Whether Yang Hoon was there or not, Hye Won, left alone with him, clenched her mouth and just stared at the table.

Tae Beom opened his mouth as he filled his own empty glass with alcohol.

“Does Deputy Yoon find me uncomfortable?”
“Yes.”
“…”
“Yes? Ah, no. No, it’s not like that at all.”
It’s over… it’s already too late…

Tae Beom drained his glass again. He wasn’t fond of drinking, but for some reason, the alcohol went down unusually well today.

“It’s not discomfort but difficulty that I wanted to mention.”
“It’s the same thing.”
“I think it’s natural to find the boss you serve difficult.”
The boss she serves. The boss she serves would be Vice President Ha Ji Seok, not me.

Tae Beom was a bit upset by Hye Won’s calm words. The grilling was over and the meal was done, so it would be sufficient to let Hye Won go, but it wasn’t easy to say so.

Was it the alcohol? He wanted to reveal her true self hidden behind that innocent face.

He wanted to extract it, make her surrender.

“What is Deputy Yoon Hye Won’s dream?”
A sudden talk about dreams. Dream? Hye Won gave a thoughtful look.

I don’t have a dream.

“My dream?”
I just want to quit now.

Or, about one billion pure cash with the tax issue cleanly resolved?

“Actually, it’s been quite a while since I’ve lived without dreams or hopes.”
“Oh, you’re very realistic.”
The conversation halted for a moment. The rupture would continue if no one tried to keep the conversation going.

Tae Beom, with his breath held, opened his mouth again.

“I hope you don’t think of me as incredibly difficult and treat me comfortably.”
“Ah… how should I…”
“I prefer horizontal relationships over vertical ones. You know I am from the center of the world economy, the mecca of finance, the city that never sleeps.”
“Yes. New York.”
“Yes. New York. I lived there with a horizontal structure, so it’s uncomfortable to receive such excessive treatment from Deputy Yoon Hye Won.”
“…”
“There’s no basis for the treatment.”
Hye Won flinched. Tae Beom added more slowly with a hand gesture.

“Treat me comfortably. Sincerely. You can do it.”
“I’ll try.”

At her promise to make an effort, Tae Beom roughly nodded his head.

Somehow, he had to find that woman’s weaknesses. To do so, breaking down her defenses would be the first step.

He would make her dig her own grave.

“Executive Director, can I ask something as well?”
“What is it?”
“I don’t see your family around today. Your parents didn’t come either.”
“Is that a joke? All of a sudden?”
“No, no! Not at all!”
Hye Won, taken aback, raised her hands high. It had been bothering her that none of the family of the VIP guest could be seen anywhere.

What was she thinking, asking such a thing?

Hye Won bit her lips tightly. She, of all people, was the one who disliked talking about families the most.

“Well, let’s just say we don’t get along well.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. It’s already a public fact, and it’d be weirder if you didn’t know.”
Gulping down his drink, he looked at Hye Won again.

Was he getting drunk? His eyes looked slightly teary.

“But why were you curious about that, Assistant Yoon?”
Was he finally intending to dig something up?

“Just because. It seemed like you might be a bit upset.”
As Hye Won brushed her hair back and said this in a small voice, Tae Beom paused.

“Today’s inauguration ceremony was so grand and brilliant, everything was amazing. If your family had seen it, they definitely would have been pleased.”
“……”
“I’m sorry. I’ve spoken out of turn. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
She clenched the hand holding her drink.

It felt as if the shadow of a huge boulder was looming behind Hye Won.

“You seemed like you might be upset, because your family didn’t come.”
He repeated exactly what she had said.

The absurdity of the situation made him let out a hollow laugh.

It felt as if a landmine had exploded, so Hye Won bowed her head deeply. This was insane. What had she said?

What kind of needless meddling was this?

“You’re surprisingly sentimental, Assistant Yoon Hye Won.”
“……”
“Is it in your nature? Or is it training?”
As Hye Won raised her head, Tae Beom’s forehead creased. Ji Suk’s behavior at the inauguration, pretending not to know Hye Won, combined to create an unfamiliar discomfort.

A fierce aura emanated around his eyebrows. It didn’t look like it would fade away any time soon.

“Listen here, Assistant Yoon Hye Won.”
Tae Beom suddenly leaned his upper body forward. The distance between him and Hye Won, who had been sitting straight, shrunk in an instant.

“It seems you have many questions about me.”
“No…… No, I don’t.”
“Ask me. I’ll explain it kindly. Whatever it is.”
His gaze, which seemed a bit teary just moments ago, became domineering, pushing the opponent.

Hye Won exhaled as if unable to move. Even though she wasn’t at a very close distance, it was difficult to breathe properly.

“Did I not say to ask? Today could be the last day you encounter me, ready to answer anything.”
Her mind turned blank and no thoughts came to her.

If she didn’t ask something, it felt as if she would soon be devoured by this person who had the eyes of an angry beast.

“You were quite talkative earlier, can you calculate now?”
Tae Beom showed a smile that was close to mockery.

The overlapping images of Ji Seok and Hye Won annoyed him incessantly. His mood didn’t settle for a while.

Hye Won quietly looked at Tae Beom and then moved her small, red lips.

Before long, Tae Beom’s gaze landed on Hye Won’s lips.

“Then, since you’ve asked to be comfortable, I’ll ask sincerely.”
Looking at her lips, he felt thirsty despite having drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

“In fact, there was something I’ve been curious about.”
It was an abnormal thirst.

No matter how much alcohol he drank, it was an unquenchable, thick, and deep thirst.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)

Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.

Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.

Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.

“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”

Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.

A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.

“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”

Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.

Gu Sui: “……”

He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?

Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.

Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.

Hmm… she looked a little familiar.

It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.

Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.

“Finally, I found you.”

Male transmigrates into female-dominant world
