“Shall we do that, then.”
When Hyun Seo accepted, a satisfied smile brushed across Do Ha’s face, as if he had gained a large profit from an unexpected event.
Seeing such an expression on Do Ha’s face, Hyun Seo pretended not to notice and looked elsewhere.
A little later, as they headed to the parking lot, Do Ha politely asked Hyun Seo.
“Director, shall we go together in my car? I’ll take you back later.”
“No, I’ll go separately in my car and meet you there.”
Do Ha nodded as if he had expected her to say this without a second’s hesitation.
“Then, I’ll see you when we arrive.”
Hyun Seo quickly got into her own car, lest he suggest again.

The dinner venue was a Westernstyle restaurant with a neat interior and quiet atmosphere.
Upon entering, Hyun Seo, who had left earlier, had already arrived and was seated at the table.
When Do Ha, who arrived alone, approached, her gaze changed as expected, filled with caution.
“Please order first, Director.”
When Do Ha, now seated, offered the menu, Hyun Seo took it without a word and opened it.
The situation was infinitely uncomfortable for Hyun Seo, so she chose the menu that seemed easiest to digest.
Then, the waiter came, and it was a bit strange when Do Ha placed the order.
Why did he only order two first? Was the research director late?
“What about the Director?”
Facing Hyun Seo who asked in a worried voice, Do Ha answered.
“He’s not coming.”
“What? Why?”
However, seeing Hyun Seo’s face full of questions, Do Ha just smiled lightly.
Do Ha, who had watched Hyun Seo start his car from the Songhwa Palace parking lot earlier, had suggested as such to the research director standing beside him.
“Director, if it’s not an urgent matter, wouldn’t it be better for you to wrap things up here? It won’t be comfortable for you at the dinner with me either. Honestly, it would be quite inconvenient for you.”
“I’m not uncomfortable, Executive Director.”
The response was of course, merely formal. There would be no difficulty in conversation with Hyun Seo, the raw material developer, but indeed, a dinner with the representative would obviously not be comfortable.
If Do Ha hadn’t invited him to dinner, he might not have extended the meeting time, even if he was reluctant to end the conversation.
“Director, why don’t you have a company dinner with the employees today? They’ve all worked hard.”
“Oh, can I do that?”
“Yes. Please treat the staff to something delicious without sparing expense. I have some things to discuss separately with Director Hyun Seo, so I’ll just chat for a bit and then leave. You don’t need to worry, just go ahead and enjoy yourself.”
“Haha, I see. Thank you, Executive Director.”
Thus, Do Ha politely separated the research director and came alone.
Hyun Seo, who knew nothing, could only be bewildered by the current situation.
“Did something come up for the Director?”
“Something did happen. Because I made it so.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I sent the research director away.”
“What?”
Hyun Seo was so startled that his face began to flush slightly.
“So what situation is this now?”
“We’re just here to have a delicious dinner. You like Western food, don’t you?”
“We, us? Why would we eat together!”
“It’s so hard to have a conversation with Hyun Seo alone, I end up doing all sorts of things.”
“Yes, you really are up to all sorts of things. What on earth is this? What are you trying to do, now?”
Even though she was angry, Do Ha smiled gently. But against his brazenly smiling face, Hyun Seo threw cold water.
“I want to leave.”
But Do Ha gently stopped her as she tried to stand up with her bag.
“I’ve already ordered.”
“Then I’ll pay for the meal and go. Is that okay?”
“If you just leave, I’ll go hungry tonight.”
Threatening to starve. It was really cheap.
Hyun Seo glared at Do Ha, who refused to let her go.
There were also some strange looks from those around them, so she sat back down for the moment.
Although she sat down abruptly, Hyun Seo quickly turned her head and looked elsewhere.
She kept her mouth shut like that, and Do Ha quietly watched her.
For a while, silence flowed between the former couple sitting across the table.
Do Ha couldn’t fully understand why she was sitting there. As a kind woman, she might have just sat down to pass the time, since he said he would starve if left alone.
It would be greedy to want to see her smiling face.
She could still smile brightly when looking at other people, just like before, but her expression was consistently cold towards Do Ha.
“Is work, manageable? Given that you’ve reached your position in such a short time, it seems your abilities are exceptional.”
“I was lucky in many ways.”
“Luck alone can’t achieve that. Are you perhaps… in a special relationship with the owner of GLP?”
“It seems like you’re crossing the line of professional questions. I told you I don’t answer personal questions, Executive Director Do.”
The conversation between the two was like an interview. Do Ha asked, and Hyun Seo answered.
Do Ha was the only one who wanted to talk, so it couldn’t be helped.
In the intermittent exchanges of a few words, the food they had ordered arrived before they knew it.
The cold atmosphere must have seemed unusual to others too, as the waiter carefully placed the dishes filled with food on the table, casting a wary glance their way.
“Try it, Hyun Seo. You like this kind of thing.”
Do Ha suggested, but Hyun Seo’s eyes were not focused on either him or the food.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
