She knew that the moment she spoke those words, she would be discarded.
She would be reduced to someone useless in an instant.
Ignoring his gaze, Yeonju quickly ascended the stairs.
LM Group Headquarters.
Jinwook sat in his office, as usual, reviewing documents.
His secretary, Minhee, stood before him, continuing with the schedule report.
“At 10 AM, there is a presentation by the planning team in the main conference room. At 12:30 PM, you have a lunch appointment with Congressman Kim Sang-cheol and GH Group CEO Kang Su-yeon at Songhakjeong in Gangnam.”
Minhee reported the schedule in a crisp tone, while Jinwook listened and reviewed his documents.
“This is the file from yesterday afternoon’s marketing team meeting. And this one is for the planning team presentation at 10 AM today.”
Minhee placed two black files in front of him, finishing her report. Jinwook quickly skimmed the files and continued reading his earlier document without a word.
His silence was a good sign. It meant there were no issues or mistakes. If he found an error or fault, the atmosphere would turn icy.
Usually, Minhee would bow her head and quietly leave the office at this point, but today, she hesitated.
“Director.”
She cautiously addressed Jinwook.
“Did Madam like the gift you prepared last time?”
Jinwook’s hand, flipping through the document, stopped. His blunt gaze then turned to Minhee.
“Why are you curious about that?”
It sounded as if he meant to say don’t ask questions unrelated to work.
Minhee’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly bowed her head.
“I’m sorry. It was presumptuous of me to ask.”
Jinwook lowered his gaze back to the document and said.
“You can go. Call me if you need anything.”
Minhee politely bowed and left the office. Even after she left, Jinwook continued to review the documents, but soon, his concentration was broken.
Jinwook fell into deep thought.
‘The gift you prepared last time……, did Madam like it?’
Minhee was referring to the wedding anniversary gift he had given to Yeonju a few days ago.
Jinwook recalled Yeonju’s expression when he gave her the gift.
What was her face like that day?
In his memory, her expression wasn’t particularly happy.
According to Minhee, the gift was a very hard-to-find design, and in his eyes, it was luxurious and sophisticated.
No woman disliked beautiful and shining things. Even the most emotionally barren woman would be impressed by such a product, he thought.
But Yeonju showed no particular expression when she received the gift. The Yeonju he knew, even if she didn’t like the gift, would have shown happiness.
Yet she just stood there, somewhat dazed. She seemed to be looking at the gift, but her mind appeared elsewhere.
Yeonju’s odd behavior wasn’t just for that day. Her actions had been subtly changing for a while.
It became difficult to see her when he came home, as if playing hide-and-seek. When they did meet, she often avoided looking into his eyes.
There are a few reasons why people avoid eye contact.
When they are afraid of the other person, when they are lying, or when they want to hide something.
“……”
Lost in thought, Jinwook reached for the intercom, hesitating for a moment before pressing the call button.
He felt uneasy about asking someone at the company for help. Jinwook picked up his personal phone and called someone. After a few rings, a man’s voice answered.
[Yes, this is Kang Il-woo.]
“Hello, Mr. Kang Il-woo.”
[Yes, Director Cha. What can I do for you?]Jinwook spoke in a deep voice.
“There’s something I need you to look into for me.”
He needed to know.
What was on Yeonju’s mind.
What Yeonju was trying to hide.

It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
