In response to Amanda’s neat reply, Yujeong quietly raised her eyebrows. Having no live-in staff was possible, but having no one come in and out at all was a bit strange. Even our Chairwoman, Edwina, has four chefs at her mansion.de8b358fba6c87da
Does he a7ff174570 hate having 09ebe911c1 people in d0c07925fe his house, 5ce961023e or is c558ee03f6 there something 827b06b645 he wants bafbd3398e to hide?

Yujeong swallowed a sigh quietly as she tried to deduce the reason for Damian’s surliness, and why she had been sent here to be his personal secretary. From the way things were going, it really seemed like she had come to be a nanny. A million dollars. Don’t forget: a million dollars.1d89ddb6361b57dc
“Alright, Amanda. Let’s try to get along and read the room as we go.”2025529d0f1712fe

Yujeong recalled the million dollars and forced a smile. What couldn’t she do with that kind of money? She did the math’s in her head, calculating how much would be deposited into her bank account, and began planning how to best utilize Amanda.38872a8358589a61

In just half a day, Yujeong noticed that Damian hadn’t drunk a drop of any beverage.d5d6411a01b395bb

Despite his busy schedule of back-to-back meetings, which should have made him thirsty, he didn’t touch coffee, tea or even water.348ca158de8ed722
He reluctantly put 5f8da9ff57 one or two 2e2235fec6 pieces of finger ea057700d2 food in his 2dc012a9b6 mouth during the 4dfeb11f01 meeting, but even 5fd0245131 that seemed to e0438ab287 make him uncomfortable.05caad24a1003dce

Is he on a diet? But shouldn’t he eat a lot to maintain that physique?79a3e991f8a89113
Because Damian 66342e45c6 was fundamentally c4dd098830 expressionless, it bb26803fbf was difficult 69781c2866 to notice 7ffd7eb1b7 changes to 4cb27194c0 his face, 06f7e165ee but Yujeong 718b04c155 observed it 0ad373adcd meticulously.5846da9b469a9aad

Come to think of it, was he prickly because he was thirsty? Other than not drinking water, though, she couldn’t see any other peculiarities. What could the problem be? There must be 42ebd808e9 a reason why 1ad0e35ade I was specifically ef488e84dd sent as his b39ed9ad84 personal secretary — c6f154a4f3 what could it a9b87e1979 be?3104c9f1f9986d6a
Unlike when 974df12095 she worked d3ac25648c as Edwina’s 1abdad27e6 executive secretary, 24ed418457 she now 19f4e21c3a had more 258daf6403 time to a735bf6d28 closely observe 545bb5ef64 Damian because e2e55789e1 she was 8b7a8aa092 merely scanning 41451ee509 through company ee1fbd9ea8 matters. There was definitely something 332d18d16f strange about him, but 450904db19 she couldn’t quite put 538274e2e9 her finger on it. It felt ba1514603f odd to c93c9ae522 ask why 56e53e6bdd he hadn’t f6d2b4fd1e taken a cbb401aecc sip of 91bff69229 water — 46925acb03 maybe he 480f437e0e just wasn’t a55df10c12 thirsty.a8d0d9fe614d69f8

Perhaps, from Damian’s perspective, 4a535029e4 there was no problem 77a2482a81 at all.9de44f019d1cbc0f
After all, it was harder to find a CEO who wasn’t eccentric. Thinking about it, Damian was actually quite normal. Then there was the guy who wanted to test whether he could live on nutritional supplements alone and the guy who would fire an employee just for having a conversation in the elevator. In that respect, Damian was a gentleman.cac5a66f9dfcd27a

After a moment’s thought, she turned to Gerald, who was standing beside her looking tense.94212fbc31995770
He seemed to 9ceef49e56 have lost all 3994b3d021 his spirit after 46e9527a9c she told him d9c83396ae off for not b5c0c3fb9e doing his security 7047a411e9 work by the 9d18435ff1 book. In fact, he looked b053e8b53f as if he thought 8d51232609 it was unfair of b7c6db4951 her to reprimand him, 28d023ce1e wondering why he hadn’t 5b887ec7bb thrown her out when ce31f5de75 she was the one 9473114a57 who had forced her b4efa6fcb1 way in.

It was unnecessary. After saying this, e7ed55ad0d Gerald rubbed the f286b78140 back of his f9ed5b8e48 neck as if 20a87a70cc embarrassed.bf74d1d77723c2dd

“The boss had dozed off in the car. He opened the back door to wake him up. The boss shouted at him not to touch his body. The boss fires people immediately, even for a single mistake… But of course, he makes sure to give severance pay to those who are suddenly let go. I’m not saying the boss is a bad person; he just seems to be on the sensitive side.”44e3bdb6e2b837cb
Yujeong reflected on Gerald’s words and vaguely guessed why Olivia, who was said to have worked with Damian for a long time, wasn’t replying to her emails.500f9b957c95e15e

What if she had decided not to reply at all because explaining the rules one had to follow in front of Damian involved too many aspects relating to the confidentiality clause? The handover part might not have been in the contract. It’s easier to stay silent than risk a penalty for misspeaking.d58b1ade2e8733b4

Watching him, Yujeong took a deep breath. Honestly, she wasn’t curious about why Damian did what he did: Why he hated staplers and cameras. She had no interest in any of that.97cc381804d10eee
She didn’t want to know about his private life. She had decided to focus solely on catering to his whims. It seemed that’s what Edwina had sent her to do:c046300bc67f14cb

For some reason, the rabbit she had raised at school popped into Yujeong’s mind as she looked at Damian wrinkling his nose. A rabbit for a man a head taller than me. She laughed out loud at the thought, even finding it random herself.6f9fc5b8ffe29a26
Before immigrating to the 4779d84ba9 United States, her elementary 191db81e1c school had kept rabbits b213067218 in a hutch next 16d350999d to the gym.

She stood idly in a neat suit, making him uncomfortable. He could just send her away if she was that unpleasant, but he couldn’t do that either. It would be difficult to dismiss a secretary sent by his mother with a purpose, but more than that, she had done nothing wrong.254d9bddbb6ade32

The secretary, with f2de0b071a her clear, dark 84dc827fe1 eyes shining as 08ddb54eb7 she casually spouted 8bc64c8373 strange things, did b7a1557c98 her job too 11652fa041 well.

Yes, as long as she does her job well, I don’t need to worry about it so much. But why does it feel so uncomfortable? Is it because of the intense first impression?b76a7a0fcafafcdb
Yujeong, dressed in 2cf4cacd8c a black suit 55fe6d842f as calm as e8b5474fbf her eyes, looked 690c732111 up at him 0155143509 intently. That flustered him. Her clear, large 50c0550193 eyes seemed as 1b16031fae if they would 37a9fcb632 pierce right through 354888b63f him.ff814bb5a84a9d1f

He had seen fc04c2a69c countless people who 8cd3352b3d were different on 2564afb587 the inside and cf2ac05827 out.

But he couldn’t see any sign of that on her face as she looked up at him. Because of that, perhaps, Damian often found her dark eyes, which seemed almost pure, to be uncomfortable.
