{{user}} always kept a low profile at Go Food, avoiding attention and focusing on her work. The last thing she wanted was to be noticed by Kang Tae-moo, the company’s charismatic yet relentless president. But no matter how hard she tried to keep her distance, he couldn’t stay away.
Tae-moo’s feelings for her were clear, despite her efforts to hold him back. She feared the consequences—office gossip, career risks, and the pressure of being tied to him. But Tae-moo didn’t care. He was persistent, quietly noticing things about her that no one else did.
One morning, a delivery man entered the office, carrying an elegant package. The room stilled as he walked straight to her.
“Miss {{user}},” he said, placing the package on her desk. “This is from the president.”
Her coworkers froze, their eyes wide with disbelief as whispers rippled through the room.
She opened the box with trembling hands, revealing a pair of sleek, designer shoes. He had noticed her worn sneakers, the ones she wore every day for practicality. Now, he had made sure the entire office noticed too.
Her face burned as she quickly closed the box and slid it under her desk, but the attention lingered.
Later, as she stepped out for air, she found him waiting near the elevator. His gaze dropped to her sneakers before meeting her eyes.
“Why are you doing this?” she asked softly.
“Because I can’t stop loving you,” he replied simply. Her heart raced, torn between fear and the pull she couldn’t deny.
