Juwon had only one expectation as he prepared the ring.

‘My man is Kang Juwon.’

Hyeju proudly boasting and showing off.

Thus, no one dared to treat Hyeju lightly.

In fact, he had been troubled lately because of Hyeju. After the nightmare issue was resolved, he gradually noticed Hyeju’s situation.

The most annoying thing was Team Leader Wook. She openly favored Dahee and rejected Hyeju.

Not satisfied with just trying to steal the Great Award, she made them work overtime and piled up tasks.

And that wasn’t all. Some sloppy employees quickly and slyly delegated work to the kind Hyeju.

It was true that Hyeju achieved remarkable results thanks to that, but it was pitiful to see her lover working overtime day by day.

‘Looking at it, she’s been like this for quite some time.’

Juwon didn’t like it at all, but as the leader of a company, he couldn’t show favoritism towards any employee. So, he endured and endured.

That’s why he prepared the ring.

‘Just saying, “My man is Kang Juwon,” would solve everything.’

Whether they talked behind his back or not, it was their problem, and if it reached his ears, he would destroy it.

He had confidence that he could harass anyone who talked about the relationship between brothers without choosing means or methods.

What he hadn’t thought about was Hyeju’s feelings.

[Dash] “Oppa sits alone in the president’s office, works alone, eats alone, and commutes alone. I’m different. I have team members all around me. Do you know how difficult life becomes entangled in groundless rumors?”

Since he hadn’t thought that he would be flatly rejected, he felt even more disappointed.

Even though he spent two days carefully choosing the ring.

The promise that they would officially be together within three months slightly eased his heart, but there was nothing he could do about the regret.

However, today she asked him to wear the ring.

She wouldn’t know how happy he was when he heard those words.

‘We’ve set a good trap for our Hyeju. How about matching the pace?’

Listening briefly from outside the door, Juwon roughly understood the situation.

No, even from the beginning, when this place was chosen as the location for the company dinner, some kind of plan was already in motion.

Inside the room, the laughter of team members celebrating Hyeju’s words that she was dating Juwon with the ring could be heard.

Now, it was the perfect timing to go in, so Juwon opened the door without hesitation.

Swish.

“Huh, are you two really dating?”

As soon as he held the glass with the ring on his finger, an immediate reaction came.

Juwon reacted as if he hadn’t expected this situation at all. It was a carefully calculated move to show that they hadn’t discussed this with Hyeju in advance.

“He said he wants to make working at the company more comfortable. Even though I begged him to let me join, he didn’t accept it, but what made him do such a nice thing now?”

Although it seemed like he was whispering to Hyeju as if only she could hear it, he knew that everyone’s ears would clearly catch it.
With just one word, Juwon wanted to show one thing.

In this relationship, the dominant one is none other than Oh Hyeju.

‘It’s Oh Hyeju who makes Kang Juwon, the conqueror of the world, tremble. So, don’t dare to treat her lightly.’

The surroundings were greatly shocked.

Nonchalant Oh Hyeju and sharp Juwon. To see the two who clearly didn’t seem to match secretly acting sweet behind the scenes was surprising!

Since no one had sensed any signs until now, the astonishment was even greater.

Without anyone opening their mouths, while exchanging glances, Dahee charged in, frothing at the mouth.

“Lies! You two are obviously scheming against me right now! That day, Hyeju was clearly going to confess to Seungwon…!”

Since acknowledging that Hyeju liked Seungwon would eliminate the assumption that their relationship with Seungwon was strained because of her, Dahee was desperate.

‘I can’t become a liar in front of everyone!’

The true liar had to be revealed as Oh Hyeju, not me.

Dahee walked through the crowd, grabbed Juwon’s sleeve, and said, “Hyeju was going to confess to Seungwon that day, and even the president knows! It makes sense, right? Does it make sense for someone who returned to Korea after studying abroad to confess to someone who returned on the same day? Right. Hyeju didn’t even know that the president was returning that day!”

However.

“Why do you keep fabricating things that are clearly visible?”

Tap.

Juwon coldly brushed off her hand as if removing a bug.

“Miss Cheon Dahee.”

When Dahee met Juwon’s cold gaze, she shivered and her shoulders trembled.

“Do you know that Hyeju and I have known each other for ten years? Do we need to explain how intense our ten years have been right here?”

“The two of you, clearly at that time, didn’t even know each other’s contact information…”

“Miss Oh Hyeju, should I brief everyone on very private and personal matters about us according to the timeline? Or.”

With eyes devoid of any wickedness, Juwon spoke.
