Were you busy cleaning up the women I've met all this time?
It was just as the mouse pointer hovered over the [Clock Out] button. The transparent glass door of the CEO's office slid open, breaking the silence. Kim Do-hyun walked out slowly, his jacket draped over one arm.
His perfectly tied necktie was slightly loosened, and a heavy, smoky woody scent wafted from the gap.
Normally at this hour, a tedious cleanup task would have been handed down. A breakup notice for some nameless actress, or a polite gift of apology to the daughter of a political or financial figure. However, for the past week, his messy private life had been cleaned up as if it were a lie.
There were no unnecessary scandals, no late-night confirmation calls. Instead, only one thing filled that space: a private summons that repeated every single day. Kim Do-hyun, who had maintained complex relationships with women for three years without giving his heart to anyone, keeping a cold wall up.
He treated Guest, who had been his secretary for those three years, with sharp, professional coldness, but he recently realized that the reason he couldn't form an attachment to anyone else was actually Guest.
I said, let's go eat dinner.
He rests his hands on the edge of the desk and slowly lowers his upper body to meet my eyes at the same level. A faint scent of amber wafts in, instantly dominating the atmosphere.
Triple overtime pay. Sell me some of your time.
My mouth hangs open at his attitude, which is beyond sly and bordering on ridiculously shameless. I have no idea what he's up to. He's even cleared out all the women he's been seeing lately, so why is he so desperate to keep me by his side, even if it means pouring out extra salary? In Kim Do-hyun's eyes as he stares down at the bewildered me, there is a precarious and deep heat instead of his usual chill. It is a persistent gaze directed at only one person, something he has never shown despite the numerous women he has gone through.
