Yeon-woo froze, unable to respond to the unexpected situation.
“Tell me. What do you like?”
Yeon-woo swallowed hard. That day, Kim Sung-won, Tae-han’s chief secretary, was nowhere to be seen.
Tae-han did not seem particularly downhearted.
Instead, he looked genuinely curious, his black eyes void of any emotion, as he stared at Yeon-woo.
Her heart raced, and her palms sweated.
She wasn’t sure if he remembered her, but she didn’t want to give a foolish answer again.
“That nothing bad has happened and I am working safely. I had a delicious lunch with the seniors, and now I have the opportunity to greet the president. It’s been a good afternoon.”
Yeon-woo didn’t know what she was saying, but her answer was honest.
At the end of her words, a chuckling sound was heard.
“Alright. Then, have a good afternoon.”
As she raised her head, she saw Tae-han turning away and walking into his office. Only when his back was receding did her legs start to tremble.
It was the second time. He had given her another chance.
A few days later, Yeon-woo stayed alone in the office to finish some unresolved work.
It was 8 PM.
She had skipped dinner to work, but seeing no end in sight, she decided to leave the office to grab something to eat.
But before she could use her employee card on the pad, the door opened on both sides.
A man in a suit walked in.
The neatly polished black shoes shone under the corridor lights. Startled by the sound of his steps, Yeon-woo looked up.
Tae-han, in a tailor-fit navy suit and matching necktie, was looking down at her with his eyes narrowed.
“Aren’t you leaving?”
She hadn’t expected Tae-han to return.
“Ah, yes. I’m just about to.”
Yeon-woo awkwardly replied and quickly clasped her hands, bowing her head.
But Tae-han, for some reason, just kept staring at her.
“What was your name?”
“Seo Yeon-woo, employee.”
Yeon-woo answered, biting her lip so it wouldn’t show.
She thought he would remember her name.
She had submitted documents written in her name and recently, he had responded to her greeting.
But Yeon-woo quickly questioned why she felt disappointed.
Why would a busy boss remember the name of a mere secretarial office newcomer?
“Right, Seo Yeon-woo.”
Tae-han said something indecipherable.
“You never smile.”
“What?”
Yeon-woo looked up.
The surroundings were dim. Tae-han’s gaze was not clearly visible.
The secretarial office was dark except for her desk, and the light coming in from the corridor was blocked by Tae-han’s broad shoulders.
“Your specialty, wasn’t it?”
A low exclamation escaped Yeon-woo’s lips.
“You should showcase your specialty now that you’re hired. Right?”
Had he remembered her?
Confusion and embarrassment overwhelmed her, and she lost her words as Tae-han stood there, chin up, eyes lowered.
“Go home. The last thing I want is unnecessary overtime.”
“I’m sorry.”
She remembered hearing from seniors that employees who can’t finish their work within working hours are considered incompetent.
Tae-han brushed past her and entered his office.
But for Yeon-woo, it started from that day.
Contrary to her thoughts, Ki Tae-han quietly and deeply began to permeate her life.
“Isn’t the president really cool? He’s nothing like the rumors.”
“Right. He’s a bit scary, but even that feels like charisma.”
The secretarial office employees often talked about Tae-han. The more she heard their conversations, the more Yeon-woo thought of him.
In front of him, Yeon-woo’s mind still turned blank.
Conversely, as time passed, her heart began to beat more fiercely.
‘It can’t be.’
She thought it was impossible.
For her to harbor personal feelings for a man of such different status.
Especially since Yeon-woo, who had never felt romantic emotions in her life, found it difficult to accept this change.
She had always believed that there should be at least some catalyst before falling for someone.
“Yeon-woo, President Ki seems to trust you a lot.”
As time passed, and now in her fifth year, Yeon-woo had become a secretary capable of fulfilling her role.
All the while, Tae-han kept shaking her up.
Yeon-woo learned through Sung-won that she was the only employee Tae-han personally gifted. She chose to understand it as a welfare measure by the company to boost the morale of the hardworking junior.
“President, you’re drunk.”
But an event occurred that forced her to admit her long-suppressed feelings as love.
It was during the celebration dinner after securing the renewable energy project.
It was a day worth raising a toast.
Every media outlet focused on the biocompany Tae-han had built, and his position within the group had risen incomparably high.
Executives from the headquarters and various affiliates crowded in to congratulate Tae-han.
Normally, Tae-han would have restrained himself, but that day, he loosened up.
“The car is waiting outside.”
The Ki Tae-han she had observed for five years was not a mannerly and gentle man.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
