sweet romance

chapter 3

She collapsed onto the bed, crying like a baby abandoned by her parents. Finally, she decided to leave.

Seoun packed her bags, preparing to leave, when she noticed something beside her luggage. Obviously, she had hidden it there. Taking a second glance at it, she remembered it belonged to the same man who had slept with her. Immediately, she picked it up, smiled to herself, and left.

SEOUN'S HOUSE

"Mom, he is cheating on me. And as for that night, I suspect the same lady drugged me and planned the one-night stand with a stranger. I also suspect Cliff had a hand in all of this."

Hearing that, her mother froze for a few seconds before asking the question Seoun had been expecting.

"Did you see the lady's face?"

Seoun replied nonchalantly, "Yeah, I did. Even in my sleep, I would recognize her among hundreds of women."

Her mother asked again, "Are you taking her to court?"

Immediately, Seoun stopped scrolling through her phone and focused on her mother's face, sending chills down her mother's spine.

"No, I'm not taking her to court. I'm only going to do what I should have done a long time ago."

With that, she stood up, ready to leave, with her phone in one hand and her bag in the other, when her mother asked an unexpected question.

"I hope you're not going to hurt her?"

Shock spread across Seoun's face as she turned to look at her mother, only to become even more surprised.

"Mom, why are you asking me that?"

Her mother immediately tried to say something, but no reasonable words came out.

As Seoun turned to leave, she asked, "Mom, is there something I need to know?"

Her mother walked over to her, took Seoun's hand in hers, and gently patted it. Then she leaned closer to Seoun's ear and whispered,

"I don't want you to make a mistake. You're too young to go to jail because of a loser."

Seoun laughed uncontrollably, leaving her mother confused.

"Mom, you're funny."

She continued laughing before leaving the house with her bodyguard and assistant.

SWEET SWIFT COMPANY

Upon arriving at the company, Seoun immediately noticed that something had changed. Without wasting any time, she headed straight to her office while her assistant followed closely behind, sensing that something was off about her.

As soon as the assistant entered the office, she looked around for Seoun but couldn't find her. Shocked, she turned to leave when Seoun suddenly called her back.

"I was in the restroom when you came in. What's up? Ma'am, are you okay? You look a bit pale."

"I'm fine. I just need some rest."

With that, Seoun lay down on the long sofa in her office.

"Attend to all the matters for today. Postpone all meetings except those that demand immediate attention. Represent me at the meetings, and make sure every deal is sealed. If you fail to do so, your one-year bonus is gone.

Also, tell the pilot in charge of the company plane to have the aircraft inspected. We're going to America next month, so make sure everything is ready."

With that said, she added,

"Shut the door behind you."

Her assistant, who had been carefully taking notes of every instruction, nodded and left the office, making sure to shut the door behind her, just as Seoun had instructed.

FEW HOURS LATER

Cliff walked into the office and saw Seoun taking her medication. He immediately pretended to be concerned.

"Seoun, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Just as Cliff tried to touch Seoun, she stopped him. To make sure his hand didn't touch her, she stepped back, creating some distance between them.

"Seoun, what's wrong? Did I, by any chance, offend you?"

Without saying a word, Seoun stood up from the sofa and walked to her chair. She sat down before handing him a document and an envelope.

Cliff smiled proudly, just like someone who had won a huge amount of money.

"Seoun, I know you love me and want to fulfill the promise you made to me on the night of our engagement party. There is really no need to rush, but since you insist on keeping your promise, I'll let you do it. I promise to take good care of you. I would never use the company's funds for personal reasons, no matter what, and I would never squander our money."

With that, he kissed her passionately before stopping.

"Seoun... may I?"

Knowing exactly what he meant, Seoun kissed him and began taking off his shirt when a knock came from outside.

"Leave," Seoun said without asking who it was.

Then she continued with Cliff.

SEOUN'S OFFICE

"Ma'am, should I let him in now?"

"Yes."

FLASHBACK TO WHEN SHE AND CLIFF WERE MAKING OUT

[Scene omitted.]

FLASHBACK ENDS

"Ma'am, you sent for me."

Immediately, Seoun snapped back to reality.

"Yes, I sent for you."

"I heard that I came looking for you earlier, but you didn't let me in and instead sent me away."

"I'm sorry. I was doing exactly what you asked me to do. I just had s*x with him. Step one of breaking him is complete. Now, let's move on to the next part of the plan."

She continued,

"And yes, I gave him the divorce papers and his resignation letter. He signed both of them."

"Just like the fool he is."

The two of them laughed.

Seoun then turned her back to him, smiling as she looked at the city through the floor-to-ceiling glass window in her office when Min-jun wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and gently kissed her neck.

"Tell me, how did he sign the documents?"

Seoun laughed.

"He actually thought they were company documents and an agreement transferring ownership of the company to him, along with a lifetime black card with unlimited withdrawals. What a fool."

"So, what card did you actually give him?"

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"I gave him a black card linked only to his own money. I got his bank manager's number and asked him to transfer all the money in his account onto that black card. I knew he would try to spend my money recklessly."

"You're evil, Seoun."

A faint smile appeared on Seoun's face.

"Let's see how he feels after discovering all of this."
