Jaehun was rather upset when Ra Jin, who he thought he would see immediately, did not appear.
“Oh, Director, you’re here!”
“The secretary.”
“Soon, now, um, she will be right back… Ah, here she comes!”
Perfect timing! Our director, as always, the best!
Yoonhee internally shed tears of joy and wagged her invisible tail vigorously towards Ra Jin.
“Director, you’re here.”
“Where have you been?”
“I went to brush my teeth.”
Luckily, as Ra Jin arrived at the office at the same time as Jaehun, he nodded without any suspicion.
“Come in.”
“Yes, Director.”
With both hands in his pockets, Jaehun went into the office first.
Yoonhee breathed a sigh of relief.
“Phew. That was close. Our espresso almost turned into a caramel macchiato, huh? As always, our director has impeccable timing!”
“Did the Director say anything?”
“He just arrived.”
That’s a relief. Ra Jin, who nodded at Yoonhee, knocked twice out of courtesy and entered the office.
“Did you call for me, Director?”
Only after being alone with Ra Jin did Jaehun’s tense face relax.
He had felt at ease when with Ra Jin for some time, and this change in emotions was becoming evident.
Although he was not aware of this himself.
“I’ve received some intelligence. It seems Seojuhan is planning to popularize a pasta sauce from a famous chef in New York and distribute it. He seems to be having trouble because of his high expectations.”
The precursor to the Geonyoung Group was Geonyoung Food. Therefore, it was a very significant and historical place among its affiliates.
Even President Seo spent more time in the Geonyoung Food company building, which was about 2km away from the main office building.
It was customary for the successor to join the food division among the affiliates. If they achieved a significant result during their work, it was almost certain they would become the next leader.
Therefore, when Jaehun, who had just graduated from university, was appointed to Geonyoung Food, his uncle, Seohoemyung, strongly opposed it.
“Father, Juhun worked hard at the mall and made it here. But why is Jaehun joining Food right away? The executives and shareholders will misinterpret your intentions and become confused.”
“Aren’t you the one causing them to misinterpret?”
“Father! Food has a lot of symbolism. Juhun and I have been running like mad to win your favor. If Jaehun joins now, there will be people who oppose it, and in the end, Jaehun will not be able to adapt well.”
“Are you threatening me now?”
“It’s not a threat, but a frank statement, Father. And our Ju Hoon is also your grandson.”
Chairman Seo chose to step back. It was for Jae Heon’s smooth entry into the company.
Instead of Jae Heon joining Food right from the start, Ju Hoon, the son of Chairman Hwang, was promoted to Executive Director. In this way, they could appease Hwang and protect Jae Heon.
Fortunately, Jae Heon, who had safely joined the company, was steadily achieving results without a single hitch. It goes without saying that Ra Jin’s contribution was significant in this process.
“I need to do it first.”
“What do you mean by….”
“I am thinking of meeting the chef personally.”
Jae Heon seemed to have already made up his mind. Then there was only one thing left for Ra Jin to do.
Help him accomplish his plan.
“Understood, I will schedule things so that you can depart as soon as possible. How many people are you considering to accompany you?”
“My secretary and I, just the two of us.”
Ra Jin, who always understood his words at once and rarely asked back, unwittingly opened her eyes wide and asked.
“Director, I’m sorry but…”
“If you’re sorry then don’t say it?”
“I’m really sorry but… Could you please repeat what you said?”
Jae Heon squinted his eyes and tilted his head slightly to look at Ra Jin.
What? Why is she opening her eyes like that?
Is she trying to tempt me, now?
In the morning, her panicked face when she heard that there was a mark on her neck was as cute as it is now.
… No, cute? Who said it’s cute?
Even when he was outside due to external work, Jae Heon was on the verge of going crazy because Ra Jin’s figure kept popping up in his mind even while he was having a conversation with someone else.
Despite admonishing himself harshly to get a grip, he kept thinking of Ra Jin and drank water as if it was alcohol.
It’s all because of the secretary. Can a person change so suddenly?
Can they suddenly become… so attractive?
“Why are your eyes….”
“Yes?”
“No, nothing.”
“I’m really sorry. But I’m not sure if I understood correctly.”
“What did you understand?”
Ra Jin took a shallow breath and opened her lips.
“Do I have to accompany you on your New York trip, and that too just the two of us…”
“You understood correctly.”
This was the first time something like this happened.
‘Mistakes are born from complacency’ was Chairman Seo Sung Jae’s philosophy, and Jae Heon, who had inherited his teachings, had never made any action that could be misunderstood, saying that he would not leave any room for mishap.
There had never been a single occasion where he had travelled alone with Ra Jin for an itinerary that required staying overnight at the destination, not even for a day trip.
In unavoidable circumstances, he would take along Yun Hee or other male staff.
But just the two of them?
“But you don’t need to prepare for departure. The key point of the intelligence we received today is that the chef is visiting Korea.”
At his words, Ra Jin unknowingly breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, of course, it was not like Jae Heon, of all people, would do such a reckless thing.
However, unlike Ra Jin, Jae Heon was upset.
“Don’t relax yet? We still have to handle the schedule just the two of us.”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
