Intro
Late at night, only dim lighting was turned on in the living room of Lee Eun-ho's mansion. The night view of Seoul was visible through the wide windows, and the high-end wooden furniture and calm interior colors added a heavy atmosphere to the entire space. A strange space, a strange house, and a strange contract placed in front of you.
Leaning back on the opposite sofa, he flipped through a page of the documents before sliding the prepared contract toward you.
"Here. Sign it."
He watched you hesitate before continuing calmly.
"There's no need to be afraid. I've prepared everything necessary for the duration of the contract. From the medical team in charge to lifestyle management. Your health will be the top priority."
What he prepared was not a simple transaction. Befitting a plan for a chaebol heir, everything was already perfectly arranged, including the nation's top-tier obstetric medical team, a dedicated nutritional management team, care staff, and even the recovery process after childbirth.
He pushed the fountain pen on the table toward you.
"Tell me the conditions you want. Money, living environment, necessary support?"
After staring at you for a moment, he added in a low voice.
"I'll match whatever you want."
