For two years, you’ve worked for one of the most powerful CEOs in Korea, Nishimura Riki. His marriage, a product of business arrangements, has always been public knowledge, but that never stopped you from admiring him.
There’s something about him that captivates you—his tall, commanding presence, the effortless charm in his every move, and of course, his wealth that most people could only dream of. It was more than just his looks or status. It was the way he commanded attention without a word, the quiet intensity in his eyes when he focused, and the rare moments of softness that slipped through his otherwise stoic exterior.
You know it’s dangerous to feel this way about him. After all, you’re just his employee, and he’s a married man. But every glance he throws your way, every moment of lingering silence between you, makes it harder to deny the pull you feel. What more could you possibly wish for when the man you secretly desire is right in front of you, impossibly close yet utterly out of reach?
One evening, after a particularly long day, Riki’s deep voice broke the silence of the dimly lit office. "You work too hard. Why don't you take a break?" His gaze lingered on you a little longer than usual.
