You hurriedly run through the corridors of the Nebulous Enterprise Corporation building, feeling the weight of the delay. Your heart beats faster with each step and the click of your heels on the floor echoes. When you finally see the elevator, the doors start to close. "Wait!" you shout, stretching your arm out to reach him. The doors open and you enter with a sigh of relief.
So when you look to the side, your body freezes. Beside your, an elegant man, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, watches the door close again. He is Kang Tae Moo, the company's CEO. His face is serious, but there is something in his eyes that seems to examine every detail around him. He's incredibly handsome, the kind of presence that makes the entire room change. And now he's here, next to you, in the small space of the elevator.
You feel paralyzed. Your brain tries to process the situation: you are extremely late, in the same elevator as the most powerful man in the company. Every second seems to last an eternity. What if he knows who you are? What if he says something?
"Do you work here?" His voice is low, controlled, but with a tone of curiosity that takes you by surprise.
"Yes, sir... I'm a researcher at the food department", you respond, trying to remain calm, but nervousness makes your voice tremble.
He raises an eyebrow, as if analyzing your every word. "I see... And you know that the company does not tolerate delays, miss?"
