LOGINWhy was he acting like this toward her?
Gye-yeong’s firm fingers slowly caressed Hyeon-sin's cheek. Hyeon-sin gasped as the blatant touch traced over her smooth skin.
"Um... Master Gye-yeong?"
She knew she should push him away and tell him to stop. Yet against her own will, all that escaped her lips was his name, breathed out in a slow, damp voice.
At that, Gye-yeong’s hand moved up to her eyes. Soon, his large palm completely covered her
The brief laughter faded instantly.Han Gyoo-ryeon looked at Kim Gang-mu with a cold gaze. The playfulness in his eyes had vanished, replaced entirely by the chilly, calculating look of a businessman."Gang-mu. Gye-yeong isn't here. Is it really a good idea to meet those monsters alone?"Kim Gang-mu also corrected his slouched posture, smoothing down his suit jacket as he stared back at Han Gyoo-ryeon."We have no choice. We've already stepped into the arena."Ju Hyo-jin, who was still standing and stuffing her mouth with the sweet taste of macarons, looked back and forth between the two men in confusion. In a split second, Gyoo-ryeon and Gang-mu’s eyes locked as if by unwritten agreement. Moving smoothly, Kim Gang-mu blocked Ju Hyo-jin as she tried to head outside, offering her a gentle smile."Hold on, Hyo-jin. Don’t leave just yet. Stay right here for a moment."Catching Gang-mu’s intention in an ins

Yet against her own will, all that escaped her lips was his name, breathed out in a slow, damp voice.At that, Gye-yeong’s hand moved up to her eyes. Soon, his large palm completely covered her cheek, cupping and stroking it. A jolt of his hot body heat radiated across her face like a tremor."Your eyes are as beautiful as the sun."Hyeon-sin had never paid much attention to the color of her own eyes, but at this exact moment, she wished there was a mirror nearby so she could check them immediately. This man's gaze was fixed entirely and ruthlessly on her alone. And then, she heard an overwhelming declaration that shook her heart to its core."A child as lovely as
During the brief recess, Han Gyoo-ryeon felt irritation flare the moment Secretary Kim reported that Ju Hyo-jin was causing a scene with a part-timer. He was already nursing a splitting headache over his cousin's behavior, which threatened to disrupt an already delicate shareholder assembly. Just as he rushed over to intervene, Gyoo-ryeon, alongside Kim Gang-mu, witnessed a shocking sight: Gye-yeong, usually the epitome of cold rationality, suddenly raised his hand and slapped the part-timer across the cheek.As Gye-yeong led the dazed part-timer into the elevator and vanished, Hyo-jin began to screech even louder. Unable to take any more, Gyoo-ryeon barked at her."If you're going to go crazy, do it quietly! Why harass a poor part-timer? He's a cutie I cherish!"Despite the scolding, Hyo-jin shot back defiantly."Gyoo-ryeon Oppa! Did you switch your preference from Gang-mu Oppa to pretty boys this time?"Her screeching voice rang thr
H Construction, a titan of the South Korean construction industry.Its owner, Han Gyoo-ryeon, inherited the family business immediately after completing his degree in Boston alongside Gye-yeong. Under the protection of the parent company, HH Group, he was pursuing an unstoppable path of corporate management.Today, however, the air of the peaceful major shareholder assembly was strangely warped by the appearance of unfamiliar uninvited guests.Elfe and Hermann.Gyoo-ryeon knew they held shares, but their personal appearance inflicted a considerable amount of pressure even on him. Although the presenter's business report continued, Gyoo-ryeon repeatedly fooled around as if bored. With successive surpluses and selection for government-driven projects, the company was running on an ideal trajectory.Because he had Gye-yeong and Kim Gang-mu holding down positions without pay under the title of inside directors, Gyoo-ryeon could maintain h
"What? Save you?"Gye-yeong’s eyes sank coldly. He needed to identify the bastards who had terrified this small creature hiding behind him. Utilizing his broad shoulders to shield Hyeon-sin entirely from exposure, Gye-yeong blocked her front like a massive fortress wall.Hyeon-sin buried her forehead deeper into his back. Within the gripping silence, a bursting tension sparked like fireworks. Her rough, irregular gasps transferred vividly down Gye-yeong’s spine, the heat of her violently trembling body seeping through the fabric of his shirt.Gye-yeong’s gaze shifted toward the group of foreigners. In a split second, his eyes locked with the man receiving the highest protocol at the center of the crowd—the man with violet eyes.The man paused, and Gye-yeong did the same. For a flash of a second, their gazes intertwined.The man resumed walking with an indifferent stride. The person following him also surveyed the surrounding
Whether she had committed a crime.Hyeon-sin had committed far too many sins, causing her head to bow down naturally. But what else could she do? She had no choice but to lie again."...No."As Hyeon-sin muttered softly, her lips parting slightly, a faint smile spread across Han Gyoo-ryeon and Kim Gang-mu's lips, finding the sight adorable."Pfft, cute!""No one lives without committing sins. Lying is a sin too."The lobby of the conglomerate headquarters was bustling with preparations for meetings with major overseas partners, but these three men sitting together on the sofa were as relaxed as if they stood on a different timeline.Passing employees quickly hurried past, averting their eyes in surprise at the appearance of the CEO and his high-profile friends."Gang-mu, anyway, is the kid's treatment done? Let's go.""Ah, I completely forgot. I was so distracted admiring this guy's cute face."Ultim
