When Ji An returned from the bathroom, she was holding the cushion in her hand, and her belly had flattened.
Seeing Ji An sit down, a snort erupted from Da Som. It must have been astounding.
“Ha! What on earth are you doing?”
“As I said, I am indeed the girlfriend of attorney Yoon Ha Joon. We’ve been together for a long time. I did this because I didn’t want to explain the whole story, as these sorts of things happen quite often.”
“How much did you get paid?”
It was a question that didn’t consider the feelings of others.
Leaning back and crossing her legs, Da Som’s gaze was arrogant and unpleasant.
“Hmm.”
Instead of expressing her embarrassment, Ji An bit her lip and let out a low sigh. Then she remembered the words of the staff who had called her ‘Executive’.
The person she was dealing with was an executive at Samjin Construction and likely an important client of Geonguk Law Firm. More so if Ha Joon had asked for a polite refusal.
Suppressing her anxiety, she added in a respectful tone.
“Executive. I went too far with my prank. I swear, everything else is true.”
“So you’re saying you did this even though you knew who I was?”
“I’m sorry.”
Ji An, who had shown a photo taken with Ha Joon on her phone to Da Som, looked at the man opposite.
The man who had shown curiosity had his chin propped up and his gaze fixed on her.
Please stop looking. Yes, I know it’s an embarrassing situation.
Da Som put down the phone irritably and spoke displeasedly.
“Ah! This isn’t going to work, Attorney Yoon. What do you take people for?”
“No, it’s a misunderstanding. But didn’t Ha Joon say he refused to meet today? Isn’t that correct?”
Ji An reminded Da Som of the fact that Ha Joon had refused.
In fact, she was more scared of Ha Joon than Da Som. If he found out that she had let the situation get this far, he probably wouldn’t speak to her for at least three weeks.
“No, that’s not the case.”
He had said he couldn’t do Saturday, but she had thought it was a conventional refusal.
Da Som remembered Ha Joon entering the villa in the early morning when there was a birthday party.
The superior looks that turned every man around into a squid in one shot, a pleasant voice, the kindness that narrowly gave room for more, and on top of that, the job of being a lawyer.
She had come out to a dinner party that hosted Tae Representative, but she had repeatedly been refused for drinking appointments.
The first man to reject her interest was Ha Joon.
Every time she was rejected, her desire to have him grew.
Since he didn’t like having a drink together, she even changed the place to a crowded hotel coffee shop for a cup of coffee.
She had been waiting in a terrible place that didn’t suit her taste, and then she dared to do this kind of thing!
“Ah! They are both playing well. How dare they do this?”
For Attorney Yoon Ha Joon, who lived by observing ethics and norms, a premarital pregnancy.
Ji An wanted to tear her hair out for taking this matter lightly.
What if she couldn’t persuade Da Som, who was confident enough to sense a crisis?
So, if Ha Joon found out about this, could she handle the backlash?
No. Absolutely not.
Ji An opened her mouth to emphasize again.
“Ha Joon has nothing to do with it. I thought it was an occasional thing, so I took it lightly. So if you want to curse, do it to me alone.”
“Yes. Is that so? Oh, it’s tearful. After treating me like a mistress.”
“That’s not it.”
In a flash, Ji An thought.
Should she continue to endure? Or should she let it all out here and now?
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…
