Wake up, Eat, Add some drama, Work, Eat, Sleep, and repeat.

That was Wonhu’s daily routine—a monotonous cycle that had become as familiar as the lines on her palm. But today, something shifted. Today was no ordinary day for her. Her secretary, Joshua, had returned from his vacation, and suddenly, the mundane felt less lonely.

Wonhu settled into the plush leather seat of her black Mercedes Benz S-Class, the engine purring to life. Joshua sat beside her, his eyes crinkling with amusement. They exchanged glances, both knowing that mischief was brewing. Revenge was on the menu, and Seungcheol, the CEO of Carat Empire, was about to be served a generous portion.

As they pulled up to the imposing entrance of Carat Empire, Wonhu tossed the car key to a waiting guard. The sleek vehicle would be well taken care of. She stepped out, her heels clicking against the pavement, and Joshua followed suit. Together, they strode into the colossal building, past rows of employees who glanced up in awe or trepidation.

And there, near the elevator, stood Seungcheol—dapper in a tailored suit—and his ever-efficient secretary, Jeonghan. Wonhu’s lips curled into a wicked smile. She had a plan, and Joshua was her willing accomplice.

“BOO!”

The word exploded from Wonhu’s lips, echoing through the marble foyer. Seungcheol and Jeonghan jumped, their expressions caught between shock and embarrassment. Wonhu and Joshua erupted into laughter, clutching their sides as they revealed the incriminating photo they’d snapped—a candid shot of the two men clinging to each other, fear etched across their faces.

“Wonhu?! Joshua?! What the–” Jeonghan’s glare could melt steel.

“Aish! You ruined my mood!” Seungcheol’s eyes rolled in annoyance.

“Hi to you too, Cheol and Han!” Joshua’s sarcasm dripped like honey.

“Shua, seriously? This isn’t a way to greet people! You two scared me!” Jeonghan scolded, his cheeks flushed.

“Not only you, but Seungcheol too.” Wonhu’s smirk widened.

“You are really annoying!” Seungcheol grumbled.

“Well, do I care? Hell nah!” Wonhu’s laughter danced in the air.

“You, just shut your mouth!” Seungcheol’s frustration simmered. “Who do you think you are?”

“I’m the one and only Kim Wonhu—the brilliant market strategist! I’m hot, beautiful, and famous—probably higher than your so-called standards.” Wonhu’s playful defiance sparkled in her eyes.

As the elevator doors slid open, the tension eased. Wonhu stepped inside, Joshua at her side. Seungcheol and Jeonghan followed, still recovering from their scare. Revenge was sweet, but camaraderie was sweeter. And in that moment, as the lift ascended, Wonhu knew that this day would be anything but ordinary.
