"Hnnngh... Hngh."

What could be this heartbreaking?

Nestled small in my arms, Kang Ye-seo cried, and her sorrow soaked into my chest.

She was a woman full of grief, but I enjoyed the moment with a heart full of selfish motives.

A stroke of luck that wouldn't come twice in a lifetime.

I was so glad I'd regressed.

"Uh, Ye-seo."

CEO Hwang called her name carefully.

Snap.

Kang Ye-seo, still in my arms, stopped crying like magic.

Then she slowly raised her head.

Our eyes met.

"Eek!"

Kang Ye-seo jumped.

My arms were still around her back.

At a moment like this, you can't panic.

I smiled gently.

"All cried out?"

I asked kindly.

"Yes..."

Turning red as a beet, Kang Ye-seo eased out of my arms.

Ah... a wave of regret.

The actress I'd loved really had been gorgeous in her prime.

Flawless skin and round eyes.

"Who are you?"

She asked about me.

"Ye-seo, this is our company's director."

"...I'm Kang Ye-seo."

I took her hand.

As expected, it was incredibly soft.

It shook me more than the girl group I'd seen at a division morale concert in the army.

And a beautiful woman's tears gave her a serious buff.

"Ye-seo, what's going on?"

CEO Hwang asked, though he knew.

"I'm sorry, Chief. But I don't have anyone to lean on except you, Chief."

Kang Ye-seo bowed to Manager Hwang.

Even in her desperation, she kept her manners, and it was beautiful to see.

The character I'd seen in her before my regression hadn't been fake.

Beautiful, but not stuck-up.

A woman who knew how to bow her head.

See one thing, and you can guess the rest.

"Let's sit and talk. CEO Hwang, you can be a little late, can't you?"

"It's fine."

We all sat down on the office sofa.

A proper…
