A Madman in Love

"The Vice Chairman and I both agreed it was just a momentary mistake, didn’t we?"

Suin firmly retracted the resignation letter in front of her, meeting Kim Seoncheol’s turbulent gaze without wavering.

"An internal investigation has already been scheduled regarding Director Choi Gwangseon’s corruption, but you are merely his divorced ex-wife, and you voluntarily reported the illegally acquired land, didn’t you?"

"But Chairman Woo…."

"I understand it’s humiliating. But please, don’t resign in disgrace like this."

Her stance was unwavering.

"I’m well aware of everything you’ve done for Hyesung Group. If not for you, Hyesung wouldn’t be where it is today—whether it was when the previous chairman suddenly passed away or when an inexperienced person like me took this seat."

"Chairman Woo…."

"So, please, stay and protect Hyesung until your official retirement. Let me see you off with the gratitude you deserve."

"Chairman Woo… Ha, I really have no face left to show you…."

Kim Seoncheol’s nose wrinkled deeply as he listened to Woo Ilhwa’s heartfelt plea, her sincerity utterly devoid of pretense.

"T…thank you…."

The tears he had desperately held back finally spilled over, his trembling hands falling onto his lap in resignation.

Hyesung Group’s anniversary had arrived.

While it was a day off for most office workers—except for the site construction workers who had tight schedules—Suin had no such luxury.

"Mom! We’re out of packaging boxes. Where are they?"

"In the storage room!"

Jin Sukyung, overwhelmed with preparing macarons for the anniversary event’s meal truck, was working tirelessly, and Suin was just as busy helping her.

"I’ll go get them, Mother! Just tell me where the storage room is!"@@novelbin@@
