Chapter 27 What could I say about the Delta One office? It was a place where the only sounds were the dry tapping of keyboards and the clicking of computer mice. There wasn't even the usual small talk, nor the shouting and sighing I'd grown sick of hearing in the Trading Headquarters.

Chapter 21 After that bombshell declaration, a long silence followed. Chairman Seong seemed too stunned to open his mouth, and even his secretary, who was in the same room, had frozen like a statue. Only Ieum continued speaking with a completely serious expression. “I want to marry Seong Ji-hoon.” At that audacious declaration, Chairman Seong, who had been utterly dumbfounded, burst into a hearty laugh. “How old are you, Miss Ieum?” “I’m nineteen, but I’ll be twenty soon.” “And…-

Episode 20 Jihoon led Eum toward the backyard. With relatives arriving one after another, it was obvious that staying in the central garden would only draw attention. He had thought he was gradually getting to know Eum, but he had never imagined in his wildest dreams that she would come to his family home. “Teacher. Just trust me.” Was this what she had meant? While the flustered Jihoon was trying to swallow his sigh at Eum's impulsive behavior, Eum, following behind him, couldn't hide her…

Chapter 32 Coffee, Yet Too Strong The Essence Grand Festival (2) By the time the night air had grown fairly chilly, an SUV traveling along the coastal road pulled into the parking lot of Café Essence. The car door opened, and Kang Seung-hee and Song Ra-yoon stepped out, stretching. “We were insanely busy today. I lost count of how many Gates opened...” “Me too, Hunter. Seriously... How many pages of reports did I have to write? Waaaaah.” “Don't cry. We're going to have coffee…-

Chapter 31 He’s Too Strong for Someone Who Only Makes Coffee The Grand Essence Festival (1) “What did you put in it?” When Seunggyun asked back, the director scratched his head and replied, “Well, me and the guys at the office have tried all kinds of vending-machine coffee. And that one… was the best we’ve ever had. How should I put it? It really tasted different.” “Ah… that.” Seunggyun pretended to think for a moment before answering with an embarrassed smile. If I…

Chapter 37 Of the two maids, Ara's complexion had turned deathly pale from Jing'a's relentless chatter, and she looked as though she wanted to explode with anger at any moment. However, the instant Jing'a's eyes began to well up with tears and she threatened to tell the young lady everything, Ara's momentum collapsed completely.

Chapter 36 Since Jing'a hated nothing more than the aching stiffness that came from lying in bed all day, she was satisfied as long as she could move even a little. After talking with Woon Sook-eum for quite some time, Jing'a finally asked in a curious voice, “Miss, you went out today to buy maids. Did you find them all?” “Yes, I did. There are five in total.” Woon Sook-eum nodded and continued. “There’s a girl named Ara who’s about the same age as you. From now on, she’ll…

Chapter 21 “The gun?” Mr. Lee, who had been organizing the shelves with his back turned, suddenly asked Youngin an unexpected question. When Youngin shook his head, Mr. Lee folded his arms as if he had expected that answer. “Looking at you, with that pale face and all those nosebleeds, you don't exactly look like you can protect yourself. You didn't serve in the military either, did you? I used to be a Special Forces instructor, so I can tell at a glance. If you want, I can teach you how to…-

Chapter 20 The next day. Someone woke me before dawn. “Doctor!! Wake up!” “…Lily? What’s going on this early in the morning…?” “It’s the Duke’s order. He said I should hurry and bring you to him.” Did someone become critically ill? I quickly packed my bag. “Where do I need to go? Is someone sick?” “I’ll escort you to the central hall.” And so I hurried down the still-dark corridor. When I opened the door to the central hall, I stopped dead at…

When Youngin shook his head, Mr. Lee folded his arms as though he had expected that answer. “Looking at you, with that pale face and the nosebleeds pouring out all the time, you look like you’d have a hard time protecting yourself.
