“I’m tired. It’s bothersome. I don’t want to spend my emotions, nor do I have emotions to spend.”
However, she did not know about his personal life.
Jae Heon did not allow his secretaries to interfere in his personal life. He thought it would be terribly inconvenient for both parties.
Ra Jin could not know when or with whom he met and what he did where her eyes could not reach.
He might have had connections with many more people than she thought.
However, Ra Jin did not want to become like them.
Whew. Taking a deep breath, she raised her head and stared straight at the man sitting in front of her.
“Mr. Seo Jae Heon.”
Jae Heon’s pupils widened and trembled.
Could it be that Ra Jin had hit his ear with her palm while he was asleep?
Could there be something wrong with my eardrum because of that?
I must have heard it wrong.
Excluding last night as a special case, Ra Jin had never called him in this way before.
“Secretary, what did you just call me…….”
“We have agreed and contracted together. It’s not that one party was forced.”
Ra Jin said with emphasis.
“Did you, by any chance, expect a monetary reward from me and spent the night with me?”
He scrunched up his face at once.
“What are you talking about that makes no sense?”
“I feel the same. That which you intend to give me, it’s as good as a bribe.”
At the word ‘bribe’, a vein bulged on the back of his hand that held Jae Heon’s armrest.
How dare she say that……!
“Secretary!”
His voice was raised, but Ra Jin did not flinch.
“I didn’t spend the night with you expecting a reward. So please do not make such remarks in the future.”
Jae Heon took a deep breath.
His reason, which had almost been lost for a moment due to Ra Jin’s firm and unwavering gaze, gradually returned.
What he said was out of goodwill, but it might have sounded different to Ra Jin.
“Whew…… Yes, I made a mistake. I apologize. I didn’t mean that.”
She nodded her head.
“That’s settled then. And it would be best if we got up now. We might be late if we linger. How about we talk about the rest after work?”
Looking at his watch, Jae Heon had no choice but to follow Ra Jin’s words.
“Just remember, the only one who talks back to me like this is the secretary.”
“You should also not forget that it was you, Director, who gave me the authority to do so.”
Jae Heon remembered the time when he scouted her.
“Tell me without hesitation if I’m heading the wrong way.”
“Really? Without hesitation?”
“Yes. You have the duty, and I will give you the right.”
“Understood. I will do my best with my duty and authority.”
He unwittingly sighed at the vivid scene that came to mind.
“I’ve dug my own grave.”
“Everyone has to go into a grave at some point. Think of it as a preliminary experience. Director, you like being ahead of others, right?”
“I just can’t hold back my words.”
“Isn’t that why you chose me?”
At Ra Jin’s composed response, Jae Heon tensed his eyebrows.
Was this woman the same one who was tightly held in my arms until dawn today?
Is this the woman who used to look at me with such fiery eyes and call me ‘Mr. Jae Heon’?
There was no flaw to be found in Ra Jin, who had returned to her role as ‘Secretary’.
Only the scarf around her neck was a sign that last night was not a dream.
But… It’s strange.
‘When I was sleeping, it’s clear that the Secretary hit me on the head or somewhere else.’
Otherwise, there would have been no way to find such a sight lovely.
No matter what Ra Jin said or did, it felt like he could accept it all.
‘Only thirdclass people surrender to beauty.’
He was a firstclass. It was Seo Jae Heon, famous for never losing his cool judgement and reasoning at any moment.
Repeating this to himself, he rose from his seat.
“Alright, let’s talk again after work.”
((()))((()))((()))
The two commuted together in Jae Heon’s car.
They always arrived before Yoon Hee, another secretary in the executive office, so fortunately, they weren’t suspected.
But even if she had seen them coming to work, Ra Jin was certain that instead of suspecting anything between the two, Yoon Hee would have sent a regretful look and said, ‘How did you happen to commute with the director?’
She served the brewed tea to Jae Heon, and he began his day by drinking it.
Soon Yoon Hee arrived, and the two focused on their own tasks, assisting Jae Heon.
It was a day like any other.
Until the chairman called Ra Jin during lunch time.
While Jae Heon was out, she got a call from the chairman’s executive secretary, Jo Cheol Woong.
The Chairman is looking for the Secretary.
“Me?”
Yes. He said he has something to say while Director Seo is away. You can come up now.
What’s going on?
‘Could it be… He found out about last night?’
Yoon Hee looked puzzled at Ra Jin, who had put down the intercom.
“Executive, what’s going on?”
“I’m being called to the Chairman’s office.”
“Oh, what for?”
“I don’t know.”
Ra Jin wanted to know too. If she knew beforehand, she could have been prepared.
…No, it wasn’t. It wasn’t something that could be prepared for, even with preparation.
She didn’t have a second to hesitate. Chairman Seo was just as much averse to wasting time as Jae Heon was.
Whew. Taking a light breath, Ra Jin composed her expression, stood up from her seat and straightened her clothes.
“I’ll be back. If Director comes, don’t tell him I went to the Chairman’s office. Just say I stepped away for a bit.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
