While covering her mouth with her hand, Myeong Ok naturally looked at Chairman Cha. Her deeply furrowed eyebrows and pitiful gaze were no less than those of an actor.
Chairman Cha opened his mouth, looking at Tae Sang with a heavy gaze.
“Say it yourself. Why are you just coming now?”
“I was late due to personal matters. I’m sorry.”
“Per, personal…?”
For a moment, Chairman Cha’s mouth stiffened quickly.
Personal matters. Words that had never come out of his grandson’s mouth and that he thought would never come out in the future.
He couldn’t hide his surprise and joy, and quickly stood up straight. If he could, he would have immediately halted the executive meeting to probe about Tae Sang’s ‘personal matter.’
Reading the fervor in his eyes, Tae Sang swiftly concluded the conversation.
“I will make sure this never happens again.”
“……Yes, that’s right. That’s what you should do. Ahem.”
Chairman Cha sat back down in his chair with a faux cough, trying to regain his stern demeanor. However, his bright eyes and his neck, extended towards Tae Sang, remained unchanged.
As Tae Sang took his seat, the moderator stood in front of the podium prepared at one end. He announced the start of the meeting in a calm voice.
“Now, we will begin the meeting on the merger and acquisition of Han Sung Airlines. First, let’s take a look at the brief prepared by the Strategic Planning Team.”
The lights turned off, and the slides were brightly illuminated.
Tae Sang took out his phone from his jacket while keeping his gaze on the screen. He placed his phone in a clearly visible spot and glanced down every now and then as the slides changed.
It was clear that he was waiting for a message from someone. Chairman Cha’s mouth fell open again.
What, or rather who, was this man, who had never shown interest in anything other than work, waiting for?
He stared intently at the small phone, his appetite lost, and the once dark screen brightened. Tae Sang’s gaze quickly fell onto the liquid crystal display.
‘No way, that guy……’
Chairman Cha couldn’t believe what he saw with his own eyes.
A soft smile formed on his face after checking the screen. A soft smile, as tender as melting cotton candy.
Tae Sang, who only knew of light chuckles or icy scorn. What on earth happened to him?
Due to the burning curiosity, the announcement about the merger no longer entered his ears. Unaware, Chairman Cha leaned forward.
Tae Sang was tapping on the screen before he knew it.
Tap, tap. The short movement ended in just a few taps. A sentence, maybe just a word.
What was that short reply he waited for so anxiously? With a nonchalant attitude as if it’s nothing important, a deep furrow formed on his brow. He couldn’t decipher the baffling inner thoughts.
“Now, next is the acquisition plan announcement by Vice President Cha Tae Sang, who is the Chief Financial Officer and the chairman of this acquisition committee.”
Unaware, or maybe knowing of Chairman Cha’s increasing worry, the moderator announced the next order in a melodious voice.
Tae Sang, buttoning up his suit meticulously, got up from his seat. He ascended to the podium without a single document in his hand.
Everything was already neatly organized in his head, and there was no need for a clumsy ruse.
“The takeover announcement will begin.”
A heavy and calm voice filled the conference room.
Tae Sang calmly announced the fundraising plan through the thirdparty assignment of paidin capital.
A sharp light shone in his black eyes. The astronomical numbers and complex takeover strategies seemed to be just one amusement for him.
Tae Sang meticulously dug into the minor details and steadily headed towards the conclusion.
“That’s all.”
His presentation ended while everyone was staring in disbelief. Tae Sang glanced around the audience once and stepped down from the podium.
A silent conference room with no objections or questions.
Under the overwhelming momentum, one by one, the people who had only been looking at each other began to applaud and nod. Somewhere, a whisper flowed out saying, “That’s Cha Tae Sang.”
Around the time the applause began to die down, Chairman Cha raised his hand lightly. Then naturally, everyone’s gaze was drawn to his mouth.
“Well done. There is nothing to find fault with.”
“Thank you.”
“Continue.”
Chairman Cha slowly rose, saying. Then, starting from the front row of the table, all the employees stood up like waves.
He gestured lightly as if to say sit down, dusted his seat, and got up.
When he opened the door and went out, the waiting Chief Yoon in the corridor greeted him with a puzzled expression.
“Are you already out?”
It was almost unheard of for Chairman Cha to leave his seat during the meeting unless he had not attended at all.
He quickly put his cellphone away and stood up straight. Then, Chairman Cha showed a strange smile and gestured for him to come closer.
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Chief Yoon, I need to call someone urgently.”
“Who… are you talking about?”
“Well… Who should I call? Someone who knows why Tae Sang was late today.”
The small smile that had been awkward was now spread all over his face.
After the meeting, Myeong Ok cautiously called two board members into her office. They were people who were clearly out of Tae Sang’s favor, and it was clear that they would resign if things continued like this.
Without speaking, the purpose of the meeting was too clear. The two directors, who were serving as executive directors, briefly exchanged eye contact and sat face to face on the sofa.
Before the tea was even ready, Myeong Ok suddenly broached the main topic.
“Our Soo Bin is coming to Korea soon.”
“Pardon?”
“He’s about to return to the company. You know what I mean, right?”

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
