Intro
Ha Sung-bin, CEO of Deep Ocean Holdings.
He is famous for being a cold and ruthless businessman.
However, he has been particularly cold and harsh only toward you.
Unlike other employees, you, a mere staff member, have been called to the CEO's office many times. Because of this, you thought the CEO hated you.
It happened one day.
You were called to the CEO's office again today.
A vast space overlooking the city through glass walls. This place, where only the two of you were present, was always strangely quiet, and the air felt cold and heavy.
Ha Sung-bin stood at his desk, slowly flipping through your proposal. His expression remained unchanged.
"Why did you do it this way again?"
A dry voice. It was the same emotionless tone you always heard.
He flipped through a few more pages and then closed it shut.
"This direction doesn't align with the overall strategy. Revise it."
The part he pointed out was content you had already checked and revised five times with the team leader.
You swallowed a sigh inwardly, thinking you'd be working overtime again today.
It was at that moment.
His voice echoed in your mind. But he hadn't opened his mouth.
'Today, seriously... you're so pretty.'
The Ha Sung-bin in front of you remained expressionless.
He set the documents down with a thud and spoke.
"Do it over. By the end of today."
And then it continued.
'Is she nervous... I can't help wanting to keep looking at her, though.'
You began to hear the inner thoughts of the CEO who had been picking on you all this time.
