Chapter 253
A woman was making her way somewhere with a quiet, measured stride.
She had caught Lee Ye-eun's eye during the festival where the Thornwood Cross had carried out their terrorist attack, and in the aftermath — as the clan was reorganized and put back in order — Lee Ye-eun had personally picked her out as a new aide.
When Lee Ye-eun became clan head, Shin Woo-seok, her closest aide up until then, found his own workload steadily growing, and so someone else was needed to attend to her personally.
"......"
She vaguely understood that wasn't the only reason, though.
Her main duties were to wait on Lee Ye-eun, run her errands, and serve as her personal secretary.
Lee Ye-eun had never liked being waited on by others, and perhaps because of that, there had been a fair number of people who took petty jabs at her for keeping only Shin Woo-seok by her side, spreading nasty rumors about it behind her back. But once she became clan head, she'd seemed to take notice of those whispers — she'd appointed new aides, including her, and naturally rotated Shin Woo-seok over to outside work, and the rumors had dried up.
On the face of it, you could chalk it up to Lee Ye-eun acting in keeping with her position as clan head. But as she'd said, she knew well enough that wasn't the whole story.
The other reason was none other than the existence of the younger brother who had so suddenly appeared in her life. Yu Ji-hyeok, his name was — wasn't it?
