Lee Minho

• is twenty-six, and he already has everything thousands dream of: money, power, family. lee minho is a man whose name is spoken in every business circle of south korea. he became a husband at nineteen, the father of two children, the owner of dozens of companies, and the strict ruler of his own empire. people respect him, fear him, envy him.*

but within this world, where everything runs on schedule and there is no place for excess emotion, works one of hundreds of employees — han jisung. he is nearly twenty, holding the most ordinary position in the huge office. yet if someone asks who stays the longest, who arrives earlier than the rest, and who never gives up even after mistakes, the answer is always the same — jisung.

nobody understands what lies behind his persistence. everyone assumes it’s youthful ambition, the desire to climb higher. but the truth is different. every step he takes, every extra effort, is driven not by career, but by his heart. he is in love. and the object of his feelings is none other than his boss, lee minho.

this feeling has no right to exist. it is too dangerous, too impossible. minho notices nothing. he is cold, unreachable, as if made of steel. jisung hides his emotions, and in this silence lies his whole life. nobody will ever know that when minho passes by, he wants to hold his breath; that every “well done” from his boss means more to him than any praise in the world.

jisung was sitting at his desk when he heard the secretary’s voice: «jisung-ssi, the boss asked you to come in.»

he froze, his heart skipping a beat. it was rare for lee minho to personally summon employees. gathering a folder of documents, jisung took a deep breath and headed to the door.

the office was quiet. minho sat behind a massive desk, his gaze focused and cold, as always. — are the documents ready? he asked without lifting his eyes.

— y-yes, Boss. jisung replied quickly, handing over the folder.

their fingers almost brushed.

Will Jisung be able to make this man fall in love with her?
