Juwon, with a sarcastic look, glanced at Dahee before delivering his answer.
“I don’t think it’s me.”
When Dahee, who was caught off guard, raised her hand and shouted.
“I-It could be a mistake. It might have been something said during a meal with a friend.”
“Whether it’s a mistake or intentional is not crucial at this point. Once the company suffers clear losses, responsibility must be taken.”
“Responsibility…!”
“Of course, I’m not a person generous enough to overlook the circumstances of a sly person who leaked internal secrets.”
Thunk.
Juwon, who put down the documents, slowly swept his gaze across the room.
As he took each step forward, employees on both sides parted.
The only one who couldn’t help but admire his elegant walk, akin to a runway, was Dahee. To her, he seemed like the Grim Reaper.
Gradually, he approached her.
“Cheondahui. Do you have anything to say?”
Thump, thump, thump.
The heart pounded as if insane.
Dahee rolled her eyes like a mouse, surveying her surroundings. More than twenty pairs of eyes were focused solely on her, with only Hyeju looking at the laptop.
“What is she doing?”
She seemed to be up to something tricky.
Dahee turned her head for a brief moment.
“During the goldfish incident last time, I lied as if I were caught on CCTV, but there was nothing recorded on CCTV. Maybe this is another scheme to lure me? Well, if there was evidence, they wouldn’t have tried to get rid of me.”
Making an effort to pretend there was evidence when there wasn’t, fools.
Dahee raised her head firmly and glared at Juwon.
“Do you have nothing to say? What should I say in this situation?”
“If what Team Leader Wook said earlier is true.”
“I swear on all my honor, property, no, my name. It’s not me!”
“Are you sure?”
“If I’m the one who leaked information to Siberia, then from today, I’m not Cheondahui but Sindahui!”
Snap. Juwon’s lips curled into a smirk, and he nodded slightly at Hyeju.
At the same time, a woman’s voice echoed throughout the conference room.
[Dash] It’s true that Cheondahui interviewed with Siberia. She passed the final interview but suddenly decided not to join.As Dahee realized that it was the voice of Siberia’s representative, her complexion turned pitch black.
For the employees who didn’t understand English, Hyeju displayed the words “Siberia Representative Voice Recording File” on the large screen.
The evidence Juwon obtained as a price for not making an issue out of Yangji Food and Siberia using their ideas was presented.
[Dash] During the interview, you did talk about the project your company is working on, right? Making Kim for those who eat alone. You were very excited about it, right? Since we have Yangji Food among our business partners, when I mentioned it, you even shared details that weren’t asked.Click.
The voice stopped.
Juwon grasped Dahee’s desk with both hands.
“Now, Ms. Sindahui.”
His upturned mouth seemed to graciously draw a curve.
“Shall we talk about the things you’ve won over there?”
[Star icon]
“Ugh!”
Unable to withstand the pressure, Dahee covered her face and fled the conference room.
The scornful eyes and the mocking gaze from all directions, as if saying, “Speak up if you have a mouth,” made her nervous.
There has never been such a humiliation.
If she had known there was evidence, she would have confessed cleanly. Instead, she ended up becoming ‘Sindahui’ in front of everyone.
Quickly pressing the first-floor button in the elevator, Dahee, with a face flushed as if about to burst, muttered to herself.
“Ugh… I’m ruined… What should I do being humiliated like this!”
Dahee, who was whimpering, felt someone grab her shoulder when she was about to leave the lobby.
Startled, she turned around to see a more astonished Seungwon.
“Why are you crying? What happened?”
Having just finished his disappearance and returned to the company, Seungwon had no idea about what had happened inside the meeting room.
“Ugh, Seungwon, what should I do?”
Dahee grabbed Seungwon and began to sob. After quickly looking around, Seungwon promptly took Dahee and returned with the car.
“Why, what happened?”
Unable to resist Seungwon’s persistence, Dahee revealed what had happened. Since she thought it was an inevitable situation, there was no need to be ashamed.
Hearing the story, Seungwon was astonished.
“Why on earth did you do such a thing?”
“Did I do it on purpose? The one at fault is the person who freely used the information he heard from the interviewee. What did I do wrong?”
Dahee screamed in tears.
“Kang Juwon won’t let it go. I’m a hundred percent sure I’ll face disciplinary action!”
“That’s because you don’t know our brother well.”
“Can’t I avoid disciplinary action? Won’t I get suspended?”
“It’s not disciplinary action… No, forget it. Phew.”
If it’s the brother I know, you’ve just been X-ed.
Seungwon didn’t finish his sentence.
However, Dahee, who was quick-witted, brilliantly understood what Seungwon had hidden.
“It’s all because of you. If I hadn’t broken up with you, I wouldn’t have thought about changing jobs, and I wouldn’t have been fired from the company if I hadn’t gone to the interview!”
“…”
“Now what am I supposed to do? Even if I get pregnant, I won’t be able to get another job. How will I eat and live?”
“That’s why I came to talk about it.”
Seungwon grabbed Dahee’s heavily excited shoulders.
In the unusually serious atmosphere, Dahee stopped crying and looked at Seungwon.
“I’ll take responsibility, Dahee.”
“…Really?”
“Let’s get married.”
Dahee almost shouted right there.
How long had she waited for these words!
The disgrace she experienced in the conference room a while ago seemed like nothing now.
Today, she was lucky enough to receive this proposal. If she thought that way, it was nothing.
With eyes full of anticipation, Dahee looked at Seungwon.
What should I say now? If he was planning to propose, would there be a gift? I want a ring.
“Before that, I want us to go to the obstetrics and gynecology together.”
“!”
Seungwon’s words shattered Dahee’s expectations.
Dahee bit her trembling lower lip vigorously.
“Don’t you trust me? Are you afraid I might deceive you with something like this?”
“You did that. If a mistake is repeated, it’s considered intentional and a habit.”
Seungwon conveyed his intention softly but firmly.
“I don’t want to make any more mistakes. So let’s go together.”
“!”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
