Ra Jin’s eyes widened as her heart plummeted.
Despite her surprised reaction, Jae Heon continued unperturbed.
“I understand that the schedule has been tight. I’ve thought everything was fine because the secretary was silently and perfectly following along.”
Yes, it had been too tight.
It must have been quite difficult for Ra Jin.
She was physically different from me and had different stamina.
The more he thought about it, the more impressive and grateful he felt for Ra Jin.
“I’ve reflected. Each time the secretary rejected my dinner offer, I should have ordered some good and delicious food for delivery. I was shortsighted.”
“……”
“Ah, I also regretted not rewarding the secretary enough compared to her ability. I think I’ve neglected a talent like the secretary.”
He put force into his eyes and said he had a proposal.
“I’ll raise your salary and incentives as much as you want. I’ll also increase your leave. If you want, I can support cultural benefits and send a driver.”
When Ra Jin didn’t react while looking at him, Jae Heon added hastily.
“Say whatever you want. I’ll listen.”
The conclusion Jae Heon came to after thinking for several days was…
He needed Ra Jin by his side after all.
There was no one as skilled as she was in efficiently managing his schedule, compiling the incoming data for easy understanding, and solving various small problems.
Even his grandfather, who looked kindly on the outside but was stricter than him in judging people, wore a satisfied smile when it came to Ra Jin.
And above all, she was the only person who could calm his nervy mind due to insomnia. That was Ra Jin.
If his thoughts had stopped there, it would have been great.
But as he kept thinking about Ra Jin, a question arose.
‘Was he needing Ra Jin purely for business reasons?’
Jae Heon wasn’t used to being rejected.
But he kept offering meals to Ra Jin despite being constantly rejected by her. The reason was simple. He just wanted to see Ra Jin enjoying her food.
Not her refined movements during business meetings, but her true emotions.
Back in college, he had seen Ra Jin eating and exclaiming with wide eyes by chance.
Her emotions always kept in check, the genuine appearance she showed for the first time was still vividly memorable, even after the passage of time.
Yes… it was after that day that I began to notice Ra Jin. I not only realized that she was good at her work, but also that she appeared indifferent at first, yet she was considerate.
Jae Heon remembered much more about her than Ra Jin would have thought.
“I am.”
Just as Ra Jin opened her lips.
A woman, who seemed about the same age as Chairman Seo, came towards us from the kitchen with a tray.
“Director Seo has arrived.”
“Don’t call me a director, call me an executive.”
“Why. Should I so that I know whether you’re a director or an executive? Want a higher position than director?”
“You know well and yet every time.”
“You would look extraordinary even if you were called a mere employee. Your eyes are exactly the same as the elder’s.”
Although the area under her eyes looked dark. The old man swallowed his words.
The woman who had served them both turned her gaze to Ra Jin.
“Who are you. The bride?”
Ra Jin froze at the unexpected words. Jae Heon, who had quickly glanced at her, opened his mouth.
“No.”
“Then a girlfriend?”
“That’s not it either.”
“It seems like a special relationship since you brought her here.”
“She’s my secretary.”
“A secretary?”
The old woman’s eyes sparkled.
“So, she is that employee the chairman uniquely praised.”
As the old woman nodded her head and looked at her squarely, Ra Jin covered her face with the back of her hand.
“Did something stick to my face…”
“Stay still.”
The old woman narrowed her eyes and then opened her mouth to Jae Heon.
“Director Seo. If you lose her, it will be a big problem.”
“Huh?”
With an expression of surprise, unlike Ra Jin, Jae Heon’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
He held his breath and waited for the old woman to continue her words.
“A secretary… her hands are diligent. She works well. Her clean and tidy personality fits perfectly.”
The old woman stared straight into Ra Jin’s eyes and said.
“You will rise to a much higher position than a secretary.”
“Huh?”
At the old woman’s words, Jae Heon wore a subtle expression.
“Are my secretary and I in competition?”
“What competition.”
The old woman spat out.
“You are no match for this young lady. Even if you beg and plead for your life on your knees, it would be insufficient.”
“Kneel? Me?”
It was an absurd claim.
Me, Seo Jae Heon, who has never once shown regret or bowed my head to anyone, ‘I will kneel and beg to my secretary?’
If it were like before, I would have ignored it and moved on, thinking it was nonsense.
But now, given the circumstances, he couldn’t ignore those words.
Could Ra Jin really have decided to resign?
His eyes widened at the continuing words of the old man.
“If you’re lucky, you’ll just kneel? You’ll end up spilling out your guts.”
Leaving those words, the old man swiftly went inside with an empty tray.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
