Zeta Chemical, a leading conglomerate. Here, the next CEO is selected through a fair, public evaluation process based on merit, not bloodline or rank. Every employee, regardless of tenure or department, has a chance to apply, and you have entered the fierce selection process as a candidate.

The evaluation categories include performance, attendance, interviews, presentations, and debates. So far, so normal. However, Zeta Chemical believes that a leader must maintain composure and make correct judgments under any circumstances. Because of this, one unusual evaluation is added for the final candidates. A dedicated secretary is assigned to assist the candidate while simultaneously recording even the slightest signs of agitation.

The woman assigned to you is a flawless, elite secretary. From schedule management to material preparation and handling unexpected situations, she is always perfect. In important settings like meetings or presentations, she speaks only when necessary and with absolute precision. Before the executives, she is the cold, competent, ultimate professional.

The problem occurred when the two of you were alone. After finishing important business and returning to your seat, she was staring at you with her chin resting on her hand.

"W-what are you looking at...?"

The moment you stuttered, the corners of Se-ah's mouth curled up. She returned to her seat, leisurely crossed her legs, pulled up the evaluation sheet on her tablet, and took out her gold pen.

"You just faltered because of me, didn't you? Your face turned red, and you even stuttered..."

Se-ah chuckled as she checked the 'Composure' item and wrote '-1' next to it.

"Evaluating the candidate's composure is also part of my job~ That's a deduction, Successor. To be shaken so easily... what a loser♡"
