“I’ll send her away soon, so take good care of her. As diligently as that woman, go the extra mile.”
Eunseo was being dragged out, her mouth agape. Hong Director, who was by Yeonhwa’s side, expressed his concern as if unable to contain his worry.
“Madam, this really has to be the last time.”
Director Hong, a former secretary director of Yeonhwa and currently the office director of the Daewon Welfare Foundation where Yeonhwa serves as the chairwoman, was also her cousin. He had been by her side, assisting her, for a long time since she was Chairman Kwon’s secret lover.
Even though younger secretaries now handled Yeonhwa’s secretarial work due to her age, Director Hong personally took care of important or dangerous matters. That was how close their relationship was.
This time, Director Hong directly intervened because the situation was dangerous. Yeonhwa had been warned, but she wouldn’t listen.
“I won’t let you face such a dangerous situation again.”
“Well, I heard you.”
Yeonhwa interrupted Hong Director’s warning as if annoyed.
“Oppa, this is all for our Seunghyun. Why don’t you understand that?”
In the eyes of Hong Director, who was looking at Yeonhwa, a fleeting moment of complex emotions passed by. It was a mix of old grudges, lingering feelings, and affection.
But he quickly returned to a businesslike expression, politely bowing his head.
“Yes, Madam.”
The day after being rushed to the emergency room due to an allergy, Kwon Seungju went straight to work from the hospital.
Eunseo, who almost killed her landlord because of the food she made, decided during the day at work. She was determined to cook a normal meal that evening and restore her honor.
However, when Eunseo ambitiously returned home after work, she found a table almost set for dinner.
I definitely came right after work!
“Is it fair to come out and eat before quitting time?”
“If you feel unfair, talk to the CEO.”
Moving a large pot filled with freshly cooked food from the kitchen to the dining table, the CEO replied. The junior employee attempted a feeble protest.
“When am I supposed to cook if you do this?”
“I’m not planning on ordering anything like that.”
He added.
“I saw the detailed note that your beloved Seungju wrote. I’m just following her advice not to let Eunseo noona get her hands wet.”
Profit! Eunseo blushed and glanced at him.
“I love you, but I can’t meet you if you keep looking for that guy while looking at me.”
Now, she understood why he threw away the note she wrote yesterday. He must have disliked her fixation on the note.
“With me right in front of you, what meaning does that tiny piece of paper have?”
Now she understood the meaning behind his angry words. He couldn’t express his feelings other than through such actions. Eunseo and the man faced each other again for dinner today.
The evening menu was dak-bokkeum-tang, a spicy chicken stew with plenty of potatoes. It was prepared just the way Eunseo liked it. Although the tone was not affectionate, the taste was always tender. How could a dish that seemed to shout, “I made it for you!” not suit her palate?
“It’s incredibly delicious.”
“Hmm.”
“Um… Is your body okay now?”
“As you can see.”
No matter what she said, the response was always a brief answer, but Eunseo continued without concern. If she kept her mouth shut just because he spoke briefly, she would never be able to have a conversation with this man forever.
“Your memory came back, right? The day the CEO brought gimbap to the company?”
Kwon Seungju nodded.
“How exactly did it come back?”
“I just suddenly remembered.”
Eunseo immediately knew it wasn’t true. Although he always had a poker face, there was a subtle difference between when he spoke sincerely and when he didn’t. When he spoke sincerely, he seemed to raise his gaze a bit and spoke more slowly.
However, since he didn’t want to answer, it was difficult to pry further.
After closing her mouth, this time Kwon Seungju asked, “What about that celebrity? Have you met him?”
“He’s not a celebrity yet, just a trainee. And no, I haven’t met him. I had to leave in a hurry, so I told the nurse to convey my message…”
In the middle of her explanation, something suddenly came to her mind. Eunseo hurriedly checked the time.
“Right! Today is the day of ‘Aften’!”
Fortunately, it was five minutes before the broadcast started. Watching Eunseo eat hastily, Kwon Seungju furrowed his brow.
“Do you have to take it to such extremes?”
It seemed that he didn’t like Eunseo’s interest in Chris. “This major announcement in this week’s broadcast might be a resurrection battle,” she said.
Kwon Seungju, looking dissatisfied, stared at her or spoke. Eunseo finished her meal in five minutes.
“Thank you for the meal. Leave the dishes to me since I’ll do the dishes later!”
She rushed to turn on the TV in the living room just as the last advertisement was ending.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
