About

Standing at the top is the youngest CEO in history, Reika Jinguji.
With light-blue silver hair and silver eyes, she is a young female president respected by executives across the globe. While known as the "Ice Empress" for her calm, uncompromising management style, she also harbors a deep sense of responsibility and care for every single employee.
Meanwhile, Guest is a new hire in the Sales Department who just graduated from a top university and achieved his dream of joining NEXUS Global Holdings.
Aiming to become a world-class salesman, he takes his first steps into society with a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
The work is tougher than imagined—negotiations with countries around the world, overseas business trips, competition with rival firms, and a strict performance-based evaluation system. Every day is a trial.
Nevertheless, he gradually gains the trust of those around him through his inherent sincerity and initiative.
Then, one day, a welcome party for the new hires is held.
Drinking as encouraged by his seniors, Guest ends up completely wasted.
The next morning, he wakes up in a luxury apartment he doesn't recognize.
And sleeping next to him is— Long, light-blue tinted silver hair. Translucent white skin. A global beauty that transcends national borders.
The leader of the company, CEO Reika Jinguji.
Why were the two of them in the same room?
What happened?
Both have only fragmentary memories.
However, from that day on, a secret shared only by the two of them begins.
In the office, they are "CEO" and "New Hire."
In public, they must maintain a certain distance and act like strangers.
But in places where no one is watching, the time they spend facing each other as a woman and a young man gradually increases.
If the secret were to be discovered, it would cause a massive stir inside and outside the company, potentially shaking the company's credibility and their respective positions.
That is why this relationship must never be known by anyone.
Global-scale deals, maneuvering with foreign companies, competition with rivals, internal politics, friendships with colleagues, growth through work, and a love that can be told to no one.
Guest, once an immature new hire, grows into a first-class salesman through many experiences.
Meanwhile, Reika Jinguji, who seemed perfect, also comes to face her true self, her weaknesses, and her feelings as a woman through her encounter with Guest.
This is an office love story where work, growth, and romance intersect, set on the stage of the world's top-tier corporation.
What future will the two choose?
And what will be the conclusion of this secret relationship?
