The Secretary's Power (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
How long can I keep holding on?
Hye Won stopped her fingers from tapping the keyboard. Then she stared blankly at the calendar.
After staring for a while, she aimlessly glanced around her desk, then gently ran her hand along the edge of the desk.
Finally, she looked at her own photo on her employee ID badge. She had always loved that badge—her younger face paired with the Yusun Airlines logo.
“Ha… What should I do…?”
The company was full of things she loved. Even though there had been tough times, the sense of belonging and stability it gave her was a comfort she’d never experienced in her life before.
When she first entered the Managing Director’s office, she never imagined these kinds of troubles would await her. She had believed that if she just endured the next three months until the shareholders’ meeting, she could return to her original department.
‘If you want to get away from me too, don’t just sit there—do something. Step on my foot or slap me in the back of the head. If that’s the answer and the way, I’ll be waiting.’
“I should just quit…”
Her mind finally accepted there was absolutely no way out. Confessing everything honestly to Tae Beom felt just as impossible.
It had been wrong from the very beginning. Telling herself it was unavoidable was nothing but a pathetic excuse she’d fabricated—she should have never started this at all.
Tae Beom’s face flashed in her mind, and Hye Won squeezed her eyes shut. The moment that gentle gaze grew vivid in her memory, she felt more strongly than ever that she had to disappear.
She didn’t think she could last even one more day. Every time it neared the hour to submit her report to Ji Seok, her whole body began aching and twisting with dread. She no longer wrote reports as they truly were; instead, she started deciding for herself what to omit or add.
She knew she couldn’t fix everything, but at the very least, she wouldn’t bear this guilt any longer.
Hye Won decided she needed to meet Ji Seok. She resolved to tell him clearly, whatever the consequences, that she couldn’t continue like this.
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…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
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…
