A chocolate bread, covered in white sugar.The very same chocolate bread that Haesung got me from downstairs.My eyes widened at the sight of it.Mr. Nam then remarked, "You seem shocked to see this."I blinked quickly as I looked back at Mr. Nam. I explained, "I was just surprised to see this again, Mr. Nam.""Again?" he asked, his brows furrowed.I nodded as I carefully reached for the bread. I smiled as I replied, "Haesung got me one from downstairs. He accompanied me to the Mail Department during his quick break. When he got himself more coffee from the lobby, he said the receptionists were giving away free supplies.""Ah, I see," he nodded as he answered in a monotone manner. He continued, "Well, this was from a new business partner of ours. They were a newly-established bakery. Most of the time, I don't just accept very new companies. But since chocolate bread is your favourite, I figured that I'd partner with them."My eyes widened as my head shot up. I looked at him, confused.

Chapter Forty-One

Immediately, I grabbed his wrist and my brows furrowed.Mr. Nam stood still for a bit, shocked with my reaction. He let out a deep breath and slowly retracted his arm. A sigh escaped his lips as he placed a hand on my knee. "I'm sorry. That was disrespectful of me," he said as he looked straight into my eyes.I then said, "Mr. Nam, you can't keep doing these unusual things towards me. You said it yourself, too many people know you. Too many eyes can easily spot what you do and create untrue stories about you. I just started working here and I don't want to cause any more trouble than what I already had with Minju. I just need an explanation for everything so I can understand and move on."But, Mingyu, I can't. Not now."Chills ran down my spine and arms as my name escaped his lips. It was the first time that Mr. Nam has ever used my first name in a conversation. And I never thought that the day would come where he would talk to me using my given name.He proceeded with his explanation

Chapter Forty-Two

As everybody stood from their seats, I looked back to Soyoung and she was worried. I smiled at her as my reassurance that I was going to be okay. She nodded faintly before she left the room.Once the doors were closed properly, Mr. Kim moved closer to me and lowered his voice, “How are you, Miss Ryuk? I hope the new rules didn’t terrify you.”My lips folded into a firm line as I shrugged. “With all honesty, Mr. Kim, I was scared for a moment. I never expected that I would be seeing a firmer side of Mr. Nam that quickly. And I think the same goes for everybody else,” I explained.“Well, Miss Ryuk, you’re not wrong about that. This is the first time that Mr. Nam went to great lengths to keep everyone in their places. Especially with what Miss Chun has done towards you,” he said.“But why is he only implementing such rules now? You said it yourself, Mr. Kim. Minju has done too many offenses at this point. I’m surprised that she wasn’t fired already. Mr. Nam has explained to me why has to

Chapter Forty-Three

I looked up to Aunt Yen and she gave me a gentle smile.I returned to Yeonseok and asked, "Really? You must be very excited to go there."Yeonseok nodded and replied, "It's been a while since I last stayed over with Granny Yen. She also said that our cousins will be there so it will be a fun sleepover.""It surely will be," I nodded as I stood up slowly."Everybody, why don't you all wait for me in the minivan? I need to have a word with your Auntie Mingyu," Aunt Yen told the kids. And they followed without saying another word."You can't do this! This is against the law!" My head quickly turned to Mama's direction. Without any sense of decency, she protested non-stop against the ladies."Do you want to discuss the law, ma'am? Let us do so,"one of the ladies stepped closer to Mama.Granny Yen's hand snaked around my arm, pulling me away gently from the front yard. We stood behind the minivan and she spoke in a low voice, "The women from the agency and your boss told me everything that

Chapter Forty-Four

I stepped into the house and silently made my way to the stairs. Halfway up, quick shuffling headed towards the door."Ryuk Mingyu!" I came to a stop as Mama's voice echoed all throughout the house.I rolled my eyes before I turned to them once more.Mama proceeded, "Why are you doing this? Why are you making things harder for everybody? Your sisters are trying to find a way to provide for their kids. But you decided to call the police, throw them in jail and have child services take away their kids. What are you trying to do?""Instead of asking me, why don't you ask your two beloved daughters, then?" I spatted. I continued, "Your daughters brought home drug dealers into your house. They almost endangered your kids and me, who also happens to be your daughter. After what I did to protect everybody here, you see it as making things harder for us? When have they ever contributed to this house properly?""Mind your tone with me, Mingyu!" she shouted."Then, mind your thoughts about me a

Chapter Forty-Five

It read,"Hi and good evening, Miss Ryuk!"Hyeongu mentioned that you accepted the hotel access given by Nekobe. I can't express how glad I was to hear such good news. Rest assured that everything that you'll need will be provided for. Breakfast will be included in the package. I'm not sure if Mr. Choi mentioned it already. But if he didn't then I'm here to remind you about it."I know I wasn't able to answer your pressing questions today. And I'm very sorry that I couldn't give you what you want. Somehow, I know that there are words I know that you want to hear. As much as I want to give you just that, I would be lying, not just to you but to myself as well. And that's the last thing that I want to do to you."Anyways, I will not bother you anymore. I will give you some time to rest early."If I may ask one thing from you, please don't overthink anything. Leave those problems for another day. I promise I'll explain everything one day. But for now, focus on yourself and the career tha

Chapter Forty-Six

"Hi, good morning," I greeted with a bright smile, walking past the front desk. At the bench beside them, there sat my mother who wore the biggest agitation on her face.'I have the biggest feeling that this conversation won't go so well,' I thought to myself."Hi, Mama," I said as soon as I reached her.With a huff, she stood up and marched closer towards me. "Where the hell have you been? Is it a custom here to make their guests wait that long?" she ranted immediately as I stood before her.Heels clicking approached me from behind. I turned around and one of the receptionists stood before me, worried. She started, "My deepest apologies if we made your mother wait for too long, Miss Ryuk.""No, it's okay," I comforted her, shaking my head. I continued, "You were only doing your job. This is out of your control."Mama suddenly snapped, "I wouldn't mind waiting if I was given something to eat or drink.""First of all, you shouldn't be here during working hours, Mama," I spatted back as

Chapter Forty-Seven

I quickly turned my head and my eyes widened upon seeing Mr. Kim is right behind me.With his hands behind his back, he stepped forward and shielded me from my exploding parent. He then continued, "If you must know, this is a well-mannered workplace. We don't tolerate loitering or any scandalous behaviour here. If you proceed to do so, I'm afraid I'll have to call security to escort you out of this lobby."Mama scoffed. She remarked, louder, "So, this is how you treat your guests, huh? You make them wait for hours and whenever they speak out their thoughts, you make them leave. What kind of moral etiquette are you implementing here?""First of all, madam, you're not a prestigious guest that needs to be doted on by our staff," Mr. Kim stepped forward, not letting Mama finish her sentence. He continued, "On the contrary, you are disrespecting a place where no one has shown you any disrespect. And the reason why you're still being paid the respect that you don't deserve is because we hav

Chapter Forty-Eight

"Before we end today's meeting, I just want to congratulate everyone with their daily reports," Mr. Kim said, closing the projector and his laptop. The lights were turned back on as he continued, "Mr. Nam is impressed by everyone's quick reaction. And he also hopes that your amazing performances will last for a long time. Remember, if we work together, our company will last longer and will grow better. And that is beneficial for us. Is that clear?""Yes, Mr. Kim," we all replied.Once again, Mr. Kim led our after-work meeting. Our outputs were collected and he also explained Mr. Nam's possible plans for expanding several businesses under our name. Mr. Kim also confirmed that if it happened, we would be busier than before. But it would also be a good thing for some of us because Mr. Nam might choose new supervisors from our floor.It was a grand plan. I also sensed that most of my office mates were elated with the possible promotion because of it. And I could already sense that everybo

Chapter Forty-Nine

My brows furrowed. I asked, "Aren't we going to Jeju Island together, Mr. Nam?""Yes, that was the original plan. However, something came up and I need to take care of it before I leave the office to Hyeongu. There are some matters that he can't handle and I don't want for him to have a hard time without me," said Mr. Nam."I understand," I replied."Will you be needing any help with your luggage? It's best that you tell me now so I can assist you," he said. He continued, "Do you have your own luggage bag? I can have Hyeongu buy one for you."I shook my head and answered, "That won't be necessary, sir. I can easily use a backpack for my personal belongings. I'll use a separate handbag for my work materials. It's only for a weekend, anyways. I won't need that much stuff."He looked at me, confused. "Miss Ryuk, have you forgotten that you can also have some time for yourself when we get to Jeju?" Mr. Nam asked, leaning onto his desk with his arms folded. "Yes, our main purpose of visit
