“Never mind, just come. You’ll sweat again anyway.”
Oh my! Oh my oh my!
Sweating with Kim Yang! What are they going to do! What are they going to do with Kim Yang here!
Without realizing it, Hye Won frowned deeply.
“What does it matter, we’ve seen it all. Just come.”
He’s talking so lewdly without blinking an eye. Does he see me as a weed?
How long has he been back in the country to start dragging in Kim Yang, Park Yang, what, everyone?
“Okay. Fine.”
Tae Beom hung up the phone and put down his cell phone. At the same time, Hye Won relaxed her expression.
She tried to convey, as much as she could with her expression, that she ‘hadn’t heard anything’. She lowered her eyebrows as naturally as possible.
“What are you standing there for? If you’re done, you should go.”
“Yes! Goodbye!”
Hye Won, who had been waiting for those words all along, finished her greetings at the speed of light. She clumsily put her laptop in her bag and hoisted a big backpack like a bundle carrier.
Tae Beom, who had been watching her closely, opened his mouth.
“When did I tell you to come tomorrow?”
“Three o’clock!”
“Okay, come by ten in the morning.”
Suddenly, she started to hear a noisy hallucination in her ears.
What could that sound be.
“Yes…… Understood. Director……”
“Don’t you like the sound of it?”
“No! I will see you at ten o’clock tomorrow morning!”
It was the sound of her life being shattered.
“I can’t handle it! I said I can’t handle it!”
Thud. Hye Won exploded with frustration as she slammed down her beer glass.
Hye Won, who was having a simple chicken and beer with colleague Na Su Kyung after work, stuck out her tongue as if she had encountered something unbelievable.
“Do you know what that monstrous man said to me? Be there by ten tomorrow. Then when am I supposed to prepare additional briefing materials, when am I supposed to have an internal meeting, and when am I supposed to get approval from the director and go to his place?”
“Woah, woah, calm down. Calm down. You can do it if you get up at three in the morning. Hang in there.”
“Oh. Is that so?”
…Your comfort doesn’t work! Sob.
Hye Won grabbed her head. Na Su Kyung, who gulped down her beer, sent a sympathetic gaze.
“Director Ha Tae Beom, I heard he’s a nightmare. Is it true that he’s that bad? Is it true that he was exiled to a foreign branch?”
“I saw him once, but how would I know. Well, he didn’t seem to have a very good personality.”
Answering in a low voice, Hye Won wore a disappointed expression. She had to start going to the director’s office from next week, but she had no idea if this was a temporary position or a permanent one.
The unique aspect of her position change was [close work assistance]. It was work no different from a secretary.
“Think about it, Deputy Na. How can I, who can’t even take care of myself, serve someone from the closest position?”
Su Kyung burst into laughter.
“You can do it. It’s a trademark of Deputy Yoon Hye Won. How lively and brisk you are?”
“Are you cursing me? You’re cursing me!”
Sob. Sob. Hye Won sobbed repeatedly.
“But Deputy Yoon, how did you end up going to the director’s office? Was it a longstanding issue?”
When Su Kyung asked as if curious, Hye Won shook her head.
Her transfer to the director’s office was a public fact, but the fact that there had been a special order from the vice president was confidential, so no one knew about it.
If she had spoken out, she would have had to compensate for the shocking hand sweat, so Hye Won abruptly changed the subject.
“I didn’t know either. They just suddenly said so.”
“I see. It was chaos in the office all day. They said Deputy Yoon was moving to the executive office.”
Opinions within the company were sharply divided over Hye Won’s department change.
Some said it was a groundbreaking move that she was pulled up and pushed from above, while others claimed it was a clear demotion, turning her back on the line of Vice President Ha Ji Seok, a strong candidate for the president.
“Deputy Yoon, I think it’s a good thing. We don’t know what will happen in the future, do we? But opportunities to become close to the royal family aren’t common.”
Well…… whether it’s an opportunity or not……
I’m just…… going to repay my debts……
When Hye Won couldn’t finish her sentence and just gulped down her beer, Soo Kyung served a chicken drumstick on her plate.
“Deputy Yoon. You can do it. You have to endure it, what can you do? We’re in a career where it’s even awkward to change jobs now, aren’t we? Endure. Regardless of any crazy person, just endure.”
“Yes…… I have to endure. I know that. I know.”
Like Soo Kyung said, she had to endure unconditionally. She got into a large company, how can she quit because of this political strife?
That could never happen.
‘What’s the matter, we’ve seen everything we have to see between us. Just come.’
Hye Won suddenly recalled Tae Beom’s call and squinted her eyes.
Soon she checked if there were any company employees around and then leaned her upper body forward.
In response, Soo Kyung’s upper body also leaned forward.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
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. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
