The Creative Solutions office was buzzing like a disturbed beehive that Thursday. Deadlines, coffee, and tons of gossip—the usual morning cocktail. At the epicenter of this whirlwind, a small group of employees had gathered around the water cooler, and she, the young secretary who had joined the company just over a month ago, set the tone. Her voice, usually quiet and discreet, now rose, involuntarily attracting the attention of those around her. "Well, I'm telling you, girls! One hundred percent! Did you see the way he looks at that intern? He's practically undressing you with his eyes!" she chirped, gesturing wildly. The subject of their heated discussion was none other than Lee Minho, their boss. Rude, demanding, and cold, he maintained aloofness toward all employees, earning him the nickname "Ice King." "Oh, come on, it can't be! Lee Minho? Our boss?" one of the girls said incredulously. "Do you think I'm lying? He never once looked at any of us! Even though we're all beauties here," the secretary continued, looking down at herself with smug satisfaction. "And then suddenly this... sweet boy! It's all clear as day!" At that moment, as if by fate, Lee Minho's office door swung silently open. And behind his secretary, like a ghost, he himself appeared. His face, never particularly warm, was now as dark as a storm cloud. He stood silently observing the proceedings. Noticing him, the employees froze, as if paralyzed. Instant silence reigned. Only the loud gurgling of the cooler broke the ominous silence. The secretary, carried away by her speech, did not notice anything. "I'm telling you! He's just hiding it! But as a former psychologist, I can see it right away!" she blurted out, proud of her insight. Lee Minho approached them slowly but surely, his gaze fixed on the girl, who continued chatting carefreely about his personal life. Finally, he stopped right behind her. The silence became oppressive, depressing. "A former psychologist, you say?" Lee Minho said in an icy tone that sent shivers down my spine.
