“Team Leader Shin from Sales Team 2 resigned today, did you hear?”
“Yeah, I heard. Apparently, the whole team is over the moon about it.”
“But why did he resign all of a sudden?”
Arriving at Dalli Coffee, Haeyun smiled inwardly, hearing the murmurs of her colleagues. It was a well-deserved outcome for a gluttonous dog that had eaten what it shouldn’t have. Team Leader Shin, overwhelmed by the severe consequences, chose to confess rather than face everyone’s scrutiny. Thus, the exact reason for his resignation remained unknown.
On her way to the office, Haeyun could sense the subtly changing atmosphere.
“Did you manage to deliver the documents okay?”
Kim Hyunwoo, the team leader, greeted her warmly.
“Yes, everything was delivered fine.”
Haeyun responded with a smile, which Kim Hyunwoo returned, though there was a fleeting disturbance in his expression.
“Good work.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Responding with every word chewed thoroughly in her mind, Haeyun returned to her desk to resume her Excel work. Looking up to take out a file, she noticed Kim Hyunwoo still watching her.
After finishing her afternoon tasks, Haeyun didn’t head home but to a different location.
Arriving at a building’s basement, she found a dimly lit bar. Passing a poster boasting the best gambas in the area, she located a table where a man was waiting. The place was quiet, given the early hour.
“Oh, oh? You!”
The man couldn’t hide his excitement and quickly coughed to regain composure. Ignoring his antics, Haeyun calmly took a seat opposite him.
“Team Leader Shin, what is this about?”
The man, who had been arrogant at work just hours ago, now sat anxiously before her, loosening his necktie in frustration. He wasn’t the boss anymore.
“What is this text about? What do you mean by it?”
His agitation contrasted with his earlier rage at the company, and now Team Leader Shin looked helplessly at Haeyun, who remained cool and detached.
“Confess while you still have the chance.”
Team Leader Shin bit his lip, pale with fear.
Realizing her intent, he sighed deeply. He knew his luck had run out.
Seated in front of a large wooden desk, Eunseo bowed respectfully towards Kwon Seungju.
“Thank you for making time for me, President.”
Kwon Seungju walked over and took a seat on the sofa first.
“We don’t have much time, so let’s skip the tea.”
He signaled his secretary to leave and then glanced at his wristwatch.
“Let’s get straight to the point since we don’t have much time.”
As he sat up straight and looked at her, Eunseo felt as if her blood had turned to ice. His gaze felt like it was burning her.
Unable to meet his eyes directly, Eunseo shifted her gaze to his suit chest. That’s when she understood what Seonah had said in the morning.
Though she had never paid much attention to what the president usually wore, his aura today was noticeably different.
At 33, the CEO always dressed heavily, giving off a solid presence. However, today, he wore a light-colored navy suit. Without the usual vest, his large frame seemed more slender, and the dark brown tie looked almost fashionable. Eunseo could understand why Seonah thought he might have a date.
Standing before this man who looked like he belonged on a runway, Eunseo felt even more intimidated. She couldn’t help but look down. Noticing a slight lint on her slacks, she regretted not dressing more carefully. Not that she had any better clothes to begin with.
Shaking off her thoughts, Eunseo spoke up.
“I am a tenant in your property at Yeonsa-dong.”
Kwon Seungju showed no sign of surprise.
“So?”
“I’ve been living there for 15 years without a single increase in rent, and I’m genuinely grateful for that.”
A hint of annoyance crept into the man’s voice.
“Skip the pleasantries. What’s your point?”
“I heard that the house will be demolished in three months to make way for a new building.”
Eunseo bowed her head deeply.
“I know it’s a shameless request, but I’d like to ask for a postponement of one year.”
“Why?”
His question, asking for the reason instead of outright refusal, sparked a faint hope in her.
“There are reasons why I can’t move out right now.”
Kwon Seungju’s expression seemed to say ‘Ah, I see.’ Was the slight lift at one corner of his mouth just her imagination?
“If it’s about relocation expenses, we’ll make sure you’re compensated generously.”
Eunseo’s face flushed with embarrassment.
“It’s not about the money. The truth is… I have…”
She took a deep breath and for the first time looked straight into his eyes.
“I lost my younger brother 15 years ago.”
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.
