This time, the intention was not to stop at business expansion. Han Ji Chang was a politician capable of aiming for the presidency. Hence, a flawless blade was needed desperately.
“But there’s a long line of dirty laundry underneath. The same goes for me. I would like you to take charge of traffic control. Just like before, cleanly.”
It was a tone of superiority, but he was an old man unaware of his position on the edge of a cliff. Still, he was aware enough to have been more thorough.
In truth, as Gwang Il said, he admitted that money was his clear motivation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted recklessly without a plan.
During that time, his body remembered Song Eun Chae’s touch. He had endured the twoyear gap with that feeling alone.
Just imagining Song Eun Chae made his mind blurry, as if he had overdosed on some sort of drug. Yet, he hadn’t dared to touch her even in his dreams.
He was afraid the fragile woman might shatter and scatter.
But Han Seung Yoon somehow managed to grab onto dropped fortune and treated her like a fool without knowing his place. There should be limits.
Daring to reach out and touch her with dirty hands. It wasn’t enough to break his fingers one by one so he could never use them.
However, if that happened, Song Eun Chae might faint, so he just postponed it.
Kwon Ki Joo originally had a mean streak that didn’t discriminate when it came to money.
“Trivial feelings.”
He muttered in a dull voice different from Eun Chae’s clear voice echoing in his ears.
The feeling was significant enough to make a plan.
And now, for the same reason, it was about to go awry.
Instinctively reaching for his pocket, Ki Joo stopped in his tracks, realizing his jacket was lighter than necessary.
“What are you doing, not coming!”
When Gwang Il called him from a distance, he had no choice but to follow.
After the successful free meal service, the delighted Chairman Song even called his security team to have a drink.
“Fill the glasses.”
“Yes.”
“You’ve all worked hard. There will be plenty of rewards once the work is done, so bear with me a little longer.”
“Yes.”
As Chairman Song emptied his glass, the others followed suit. With a spicy taste of alcohol, Chairman Song, who put a piece of tuna sashimi in his mouth, couldn’t hide his laughter.
“Team Leader Kwon.”
“Yes.”
“You seem to have taken good care of that girl.”
Ki Joo looked up at Chairman Song. Chairman Song was in high spirits.
“How did you manage to control that irritable girl? Share your secret.”
“You flatter me.”
“It seems that the relationship between Executive Director Han and Eun Chae has gotten pretty thick. I mean, Executive Director Han said he drained all of Eun Chae’s condition. I was worried about her losing even the little affection she had since she’s not a girl with a lot of aegyo, but it turned out well. It turned out really well.”
Still, in front of his fiancee, he was terribly humiliated. Would it be a blow to his pride, or would there be another conspiracy?
As Ki Joo, who was recalling Han Seung Yoon’s arrogant expression, tilted the soju glass to his mouth,
“Eun Chae even asked to move up the wedding date! She must have been so desperate. She even called me today.”
At the excited voice, Ki Joo’s long eyes narrowed.
“She was all dying in front of Han! Huh? They’re just perfect together. Once the relationship between a man and a woman catches fire, it’s unstoppable. Yeah. Anyway, since you never know when Eun Chae might change her mind, don’t let your guard down. Keep a closer watch.”
Ki Joo put down his glass without a word.
The plan had now gone completely awry.
It was all because she couldn’t stay still.
((())) ((())) ((()))
To forget about her idle thoughts, Eun Chae busied herself. She heaved the fairly heavy Sansevieria pot, and moved it to a different spot. In line behind it were pots that she had already repositioned. Sweat drops formed on her forehead.
Then, between the densely packed eucalyptus leaves, she saw Ki Joo. Startled, Eun Chae almost fell on her butt, but quickly stood up.
Reaching out to brush the leaves aside, Ki Joo spoke.
“I heard you moved up the wedding date.”
The face of Chairman Song, full of greed, was filled with joy. Song Eun Chae, who had actually given him joy, was here shaking.
“Do you really want to marry that guy?”
He fixed his gaze on Eun Chae, who was stepping back.
“…It doesn’t matter. Isn’t your role to monitor me until the wedding anyway?”
As if probing, Eun Chae stared at him.
“I’ve never said that my affairs were related to Ms. Song Eun Chae’s marriage.”
“What does it matter then? Whether you hurry or not.”
Eun Chae purposely chose words that could scratch his insides.
He was a man of good and evil. Where there was good, there was evil.
She was disturbed because of the lighter for no reason, but she wanted to uproot it because she couldn’t even tolerate such a thing.
“I would have said that there was no such thing as Han Seung Yoon in what I was thinking.”
Looking at his reaction as always, Eun Chae felt something was really strange.
“I’ll ask again. Are you going to throw your life away for such a bastard? Even the viola you want to play?”
Everyone wanted her to quietly stay until her marriage to Han Seung Yoon, but they all rushed after her when she advanced the marriage everyone wanted.
Why?
Eun Chae looked at him with eyes full of questions.
“It was two years ago.”
“….”
“Why did you leave me?”
Kwon Ki Joo responded rudely, raising his eyebrows.
“I don’t think that’s important right now.”
Kwon Ki Joo, in whom everything was a maze, still didn’t seem ready to be honest.
Just like two years ago, his words were inconsistent, and she could not trust such a Kwon Ki Joo.
Then she would have to cut it off.
She had no intention of being beaten up and broken as before.
She was not naive as she was then.
“I, slept with Mr. Han Seung Yoon.”
That was the moment. Kwon Ki Joo’s facial muscles, which hadn’t shown much expression until now, became stiff.
Seeing Kwon Ki Joo frowning between his eyebrows, Eun Chae felt goosebumps.
“…. I met at a hotel in the afternoon the day there was an engagement party.”
Eun Chae packaged that miserable day as a romantic encounter.
“At that time, I was attracted to Mr. Han Seung Yoon, but I was dissatisfied because that man wasn’t interested in me. It’s still the same.”
She wanted to say it calmly, but the end of Eun Chae’s sentence trembled. However, it was subtle. She was not so stupid as to worry.
Under Ki Joo’s eyes, one corner of his mouth was particularly red and sharply lifted.
He laughed lowly. He laughed absurdly, even spitting out a hollow laugh. Then he pushed away the eucalyptus branch he had been avoiding and walked out.
“How dare you say you were attracted to such a worthless man.”
Without hesitation, he made a sound with his steps, and stopped a foot away.
Eun Chae’s eyes widened at his sudden change of attitude.
Looking down at her damp brown eyes, he calculated for a moment in his head.
It was something she could endure a little. She couldn’t stand just sixty days and ended up in this state in a few days.
“There’s no one who slept with Ms. Eun Chae other than me.”
We, one has disgustingly no patience, and one can’t lie disgustingly.
We’re a motley crew.
“Even though I know, I’m a bit angry at that lie.”
Ki Joo smiled brilliantly.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
