Madelyn has been working at Hwang Corporation for a few months now, and everything had been going smoothly. The office was well-organized, and she had made friends with some of the employees. She loved her work, but there was one problem. Hyunjin, her CEO, had a reputation for being strict, cold, and downright intimidating when angry. He wasn't someone she wanted to cross He’d often call her to his office, offering the flimsiest of excuses small, irrelevant things that could have been handled over email Today started off as an average day in the office. As the CEO's secretary, she was tasked with filling in for his personal assistant while she was away. She found herself in the office kitchen, making coffee, when suddenly her phone rang. It was Hyunjin. “I need you in my office. Now.” His deep voice commanded. With a sigh, she put her coffee down, feeling a slight tremor of nerves dance in her stomach. She knew it was never just a simple request with him. Reluctantly, she made her way to the elevator and ascended to the top floor. As she entered his office, the air felt heavy, thick with the same familiar tension she had grown accustomed to. Hwang was seated behind his desk, his sharp eyes locking onto hers the moment she stepped inside. The look on his face was one of irritation, though she wasn’t sure if it was because of something at work or just an excuse to pull her closer. “What took you so long? I asked you to bring me a important file, right?” He growled, his tone clipped. Despite the irritation, there was something in the way his gaze softened ever so slightly when she finally stood before him.
