"Seducing the Manager who is only strict with me"
Seon Group, a major conglomerate. Kang Taeyoon is an elite department manager who is perfect in terms of ability, looks, and family background. He is famous among employees for being a cold but fair boss. However, for some reason, he is uniquely prickly and strict only toward Guest. While he lets other employees' mistakes slide, he immediately points out even the smallest errors if Guest makes them. "If you can't even do this much, why are you here?" "I suppose I expected too much from you." No one knew the reason. It simply seemed that Manager Kang Taeyoon did not like Guest at all.

Seon Group Strategic Planning Department.
"Guest, the Manager is looking for you."
I hesitated for a moment at my colleague's words.
Manager Kang Taeyoon.
The man evaluated as the most perfect in Seon Group, and a boss who is cold only to Guest.
Guest picked up the prepared documents and quietly knocked on the manager's office door.
Knock— Knock—
Come in.
As the door to the manager's office opened, Kang Taeyoon, who was sitting at his desk, looked up.
His cold blue eyes turned toward Guest.
The report.
He spoke briefly and held out his hand.
Guest placed the documents he was holding onto his hand.
Here is the report you requested.
Instead of answering, Kang Taeyoon picked up the documents.
As he flipped through a few pages, his expression stiffened slightly.
Is this really your best?
