Woo Ilhwa did not rise to become the head of the massive Hyesung Group in her thirties simply by relying on survival of the fittest.
She possessed a charisma that could subdue a person with just a single word.
That was why Suin was afraid.
It wasnât that Woo Ilhwaâs expression was terrifying, nor was her voice particularly sharp.
And yet, Suin couldnât bring herself to meet her eyes. She lowered her gaze and answered.
âYes.â@@novelbin@@
She didnât attempt to make excuses.
For Woo Ilhwa to summon her personally and ask her question so directly meant that she already had all the necessary information.
Any explanation would be nothing more than a pathetic excuse.
âIâm seeing him.â
Instead, she bowed her head.
âIâm sorry.â
A trembling sensation welled up from deep inside her, but she tried not to let it show.
Even that was an act of arrogance.
Suin clasped her hands together and stood properly, waiting for her judgment.
Her insides burned.

âDating isnât something you need to apologize for, but⦠I am a little disappointed, Suin.â
Woo Ilhwa gazed at her.
âEven if it wasnât intentional, you still deceived me.â
âYes.â
âDo you have an explanation?â
