The fact that I had come up to the chairman’s office thinking ‘what was bound to happen has happened’ was true.
I had only expected to break up with Jae Heon immediately, but I couldn’t even imagine that I had to assist in his marriage.
Perhaps it would have been more comfortable with the former.
It was like torture, to push the man I love to marry another woman.
My heart ached as if it would tear apart.
It felt like the inside of my throat was burning hot.
I wanted to avoid it so badly, but I ended up confronting Jae Heon’s marriage.
Suddenly, Soo Yeong’s voice echoed in Ra Jin’s ears.
“If we leave, you’ll be alone for the rest of your life.”
It seemed that the curse of my foster mother had already come true.
Perhaps fate used Soo Yeong’s voice to tell me.
That no one would be by my side in the future.
“There is definitely a reason for the future of the group. It would be a lie to deny it. But I wish our Jae Heon would create a family and be sincerely happy.”
At those words, Ra Jin’s heart ached even more. It was because the earnestness of Chairman Seo, thinking of Jae Heon, was transmitted as it was.
The heartfelt love and care for his grandson made me feel even more sad.
So this is how a real family speaks with these kinds of eyes and expressions.
Sincerity…… It can’t be hidden.
Ra Jin had never felt sincerity from her foster parents’ eyes, not even once.
And from this moment, she began to long.
For a ‘real family’ who would be on her side and love her as she was.
“Seo Yeon likes our Jae Heon. Most couples who meet for strategic reasons are just for show, but I believe that Seo Yeon would sincerely think about Jae Heon. That’s why I want to make this marriage happen by any means.”
Aside from himself as a grandfather, the only person Jae Heon had by his side and trusted was Ra Jin.
I was worried at first.
When men and women face each other every day, they tend to develop feelings.
Moreover, they were not strangers, they were from the same university, the same club, seniors and juniors.
It wouldn’t be strange if their relationship developed at any time.
But having observed them for several years, they were really just a boss and a secretary, nothing more.
I’m a bit reluctant to say this myself, but Jae Heon, resembling his father and me, was exceptionally handsome.
It was hard to find a woman who hadn’t made a pass at Jae Heon. At first, they would pretend not to, but eventually, they had the same goal.
There were always a few who hung around relentlessly, so Chairman Seo fully understood why Jae Heon didn’t meet women.
Even if it had come to this point.
Nonetheless, for that reason, Chairman Seo grew to firmly trust Ra Jin, who, despite being with Jae Heon daily, harbored no futile feelings.
“So help me, Secretary.”
There was only one answer she could give to Chairman Seo’s words.
“…Although I’m not sure if my stepping in would be a great help, I’ll try my best.”
“Whether it’s helpful or not! That lad still listens to the secretary’s words, doesn’t he. It seems I’ve gained a very strong ally.”
Ha ha, Chairman Seo burst out laughing as if he was in a good mood.
“I will never forget my secretary’s hard work.”
She managed to smile by putting strength around her mouth.
“I would love to see some results within about three months.”
At Chairman Seo’s muttering, Ra Jin stiffened as if time had stopped.
Three months.
It was the moment when the contract with Jae Heon was changed to a deadline.
“I think it’s possible if the secretary actively helps. It’s not about holding a wedding within that time, it’s just about turning the heart towards getting married. It would be icing on the cake if you even got engaged at that time.”
Hmm, it’s nice even just to imagine.
With a smile on his face, Chairman Seo said as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, by the way, the scarf suits you very well.”
Ra Jin, whose heart dropped, hastily fiddled with her scarf and bowed her head.
“Th, thank you.”
“Oh, this is the first time I’ve seen the secretary stammering! It seems you’re unexpectedly weak to this kind of compliment. You’re even equipped with humanity, you truly are a talent without missing anything! Ha ha ha.”
At the hearty laughter, her gaze went even lower.
She couldn’t bear to look straight at Chairman Seo’s face, who was praising the scarf she had received as a gift from Jae Heon at his house that morning.
Unlike Chairman Seo, who was smiling all over his face, Ra Jin’s heart was being burnt to a crisp.
((()))((()))((()))
Jae Heon, who finished his outside schedule faster than expected and came back.
Seeing Yoon Hee alone guarding the desk in front of the office, he frowned.
He thought he could see Ra Jin as soon as he returned.
When she finished her outside schedule alone and came back, she was always sitting quietly and neatly. When she saw him, she would quietly get up, give a faint smile, and greet him, asking if he had a good trip.
Even if it was a formal smile and greeting, seeing that figure calmed his noisy mind. Just like a tranquilizer.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
