Chapter 7
A new employee joined the company, and he instantly captivated the female colleagues.
Standing at 188 cm, his abs were visible through his white shirt–he was simply stunning. But somehow, I felt like I’d seen him before.
His name was Bran.
I introduced him to the team and arranged a desk for him.
His eyes seemed to be constantly on me, and I couldn’t help but wonder–was he aiming for a relationship with me?
As we worked together, he took care of me a lot, always stepping in to block alcohol for

me during social events.
It seemed like just another man trying to use me. I couldn’t help but laugh to myself.
But this time, I wouldn’t let myself die in the name of so–called “love.”
However, his work ethic was far better than Nill’s.
He frequently predicted mistakes with precision, even accurately forecasting future social trends and news, almost as if he had lived through them.
I found myself liking him more and lowering my guard.
We often worked late together, and when we got tired, we’d go to the rooftop to drink coffee.

Being with him felt so comfortable that I almost forgot why I was really here–to seek
revenge.
So, I began intentionally distancing myself from him and started getting closer to Nill again.
At the same time, Alice was becoming more and more unhinged. She showed up at the company with a banner accusing me of seducing her husband.
“Let everyone see! The executives of your company are seducing married men!” she screamed hysterically. “They’re always together late, my husband never comes home!”
The entire office was whispering about our relationships. Alice then grabbed at my

clothes, spewing insults.
Bran grabbed Alice by the arm and threw her aside, “Spreading rumors is illegal. She’s my girlfriend. We’ve been together for a while now!”
Everyone froze in shock. I was frozen too.
I was suddenly Bran’s girlfriend? When did that happen?
“Please, everyone, don’t believe her, don’t spread her lies” Bran calmly said to the crowd.
“Alice, you’re accusing my girlfriend of seducing your husband?”
Alice screamed like a madwoman.
“I believe her. I was there when they were

working late. Your husband would rather stay at the office than come home. Maybe you should reflect on yourself,” Bran retorted.
“You… You’re all in on this! You’re all bullying me!” Alice cried, her face twisted in anguish.
She was starting to look more and more like Nill’s mother from my past life. Whenever I didn’t comply with her demands, she’d accuse me of bullying her.
“You work in the planning department, and your husband works in logistics. Even if they worked overtime, they wouldn’t have been together. He stayed late because he didn’t want to see you,” Bran continued.
The colleagues, watching this scene unfold, started ushering Alice out of the company.
I pulled Bran aside to the rooftop and asked,

“When did you become my boyfriend?”
With a smug look on his face, he replied, “It’s not too late to agree now!”
“I’m dealing with something important right now. I’m not interested in a relationship,” I said firmly.
He looked at me, saying softly, “I don’t want you to tire yourself out. Let me help you.”
“I don’t
“I don’t need anyone’s help,”
Suddenly, he hugged me and whispered in
my ear,
“I can help. Trust me. I’m not like Nill.”
I didn’t push him away.
Part of me wanted to rest in his arms for a

moment.
I then confessed to him, “I’m the one who told Nill to work overtime. I lied to him, told him that if he helped me with planning, I’d find a way to get him transferred back. He stayed to work on planning because I instructed him to… but…”
I hesitated, swallowing the rest of my words.
He wouldn’t believe I was a person bent on revenge from a past life.
“Seeking revenge, right?” he whispered gently in my ear.
It felt like a thunderclap in my mind. I pushed him away, stunned. “How did you know?”
“Because… I’m also someone who’s been reborn,” he said, looking directly into my

eyes.
