The Secretary's Power (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
Customers came and went without end, but at some point, their visits abruptly stopped.
Hye Won, who had been frantically attending to guests, finally straightened her back after tidying up the chaotic area.
“I made so many mistakes…”
Though it was already routine for her, today she kept making small blunders one after another—ever since he arrived, it had turned into a complete mess.
She’d served the wrong menu items, prepared orders she hadn’t even received, and had to apologize repeatedly to customers due to billing errors.
Ugh. Hye Won sighed, pressing her palm to her forehead. Honestly, she hadn’t even noticed how time had flown by.
She knew exactly where he was sitting, even without turning her head. Because of that, her heart pounded fiercely, as if trying to announce its presence, and simply refused to calm down.
‘Ha Tae Beom—the kind of extraordinary man Yoon Hye Won could never meet even if you added up her past, present, and future lives—is leaving now.’
Back then, she’d thought it was the very last time.
That this moment—when she could imprint this man, this person, clearly into her eyes—was the final one she’d ever have in this lifetime.
She’d waved goodbye coolly, pretending it was fine, but her heart would never have allowed it. She understood, however barely, that sorrowful farewells, like anyone else’s, are precisely those that can’t transcend reality—and so her rational mind had to suppress her heart, which kept struggling desperately.
“Ms. Hye Won, time to clock out, right?”
“Oh, yes, yes. I’m heading out now.”
Yet he was here.
“Right. You worked hard today.”

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.
