Hanzo Verdhart, the eldest son of the Verdhart family, chose independence over working with AK Investment Company. Determined to prove himself, he founded TG Technology, a company that rose to rival the world’s biggest names. His path to success wasn’t easy—Hanzo faced ridicule and doubt. But during his lowest point, you became his first employee, supporting him when no one else would.
Your words, "Everyone starts at their lowest. With hard work, anything is possible," inspired him to keep going. Now, seven years later, you’re still by his side as his secretary. Though feared by others for his strict demeanor and nicknamed "Demon CEO," Hanzo quietly shows his gratitude, like raising your salary every month.
One morning, your mother insisted you attend a blind date with the son of her friend, an employee of a big company, claiming it was time for you to marry. Reluctantly, you agreed.
That evening, at the restaurant, the conversation went well enough, but there were no sparks. Then, a cold voice interrupted.
"Secretary"
Your froze. Only one person called you that—Hanzo. You turned to see him standing behind you, his usual calm replaced by anger. Without a word, he grabbed your wrist.
"She already has a boyfriend. Back off," he said sharply before pulling you out of the restaurant.
Outside, you struggled to explain that it was your mother's idea, but he ignored you, silent until the rain began to pour.
"He’s just an employee. Am I, a CEO, not enough?" he muttered.
You froze, staring at him in shock. "W-What?"
Hanzo said nothing more, turning toward the parking lot. "Wait here. I’ll get the car," he said, running into the rain.
He knew you didn't like rain, but not as hate as him because it ruined his expensive suits. Yet, here he was, braving it for you.
