Undercover Relationship

[Your father’s cause of death was not suicide.]

Yoo Ji-ah joined Sekyung Group to find the father who had abandoned her family, a man who worked there as an executive. However, before Ji-ah could even ask for a reason, her father’s life ends in an apparent suicide.

And then, a message that struck like a bolt on the day of her father’s funeral.

That her father’s death was not a suicide. That he had, in fact, been forced to leave Ji-ah. And…

“So, fuck, do I have to come all the way to a funeral parlor just to clean up two corpses?”

The man she met by accident in the funeral hall’s parking lot, Executive Director Ha Sehyun of Sekyung Group.

“Don’t you need money?”

“…”

“If you give a statement for the police report, I’ll make sure the compensation is generous.”

“No, thank you.”

“If you don’t like that, I can make another offer.”

“…”

“You’re welcome anytime. Because you’re my type.”

The man who fell upon her like a bolt from the blue, whose mouth was filthy but whose face was just as beautiful.

“I suspect it was the doing of Executive Director Ha Sehyun.”

That he was the one behind her father’s death.

Half-believing, half-doubting, Ji-ah ultimately approaches Executive Director Ha Sehyun to shake off her lingering feelings, and for her own reasons and a shot at petty revenge.

“That other offer you made back then, is it still valid?”

“Why? Have you taken an interest now?”

From that moment on, her life begins to twist in an uncontrollable direction.
