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.65c07403ffc6bfa6
Does he hate d53253be34 having people in cb2121b919 his house, or b3b5ba0ec4 is there something 1ba60db725 he wants to a3b8ee631f hide? That handsome, 50aa11f8d0 strapping man 933ff77e12 holding a 41c3f6f465 duster and ad81ca20c3 wiping down 5ac149e873 every corner 0e5f30f4db of the e2022fd3d7 house?After thinking 49215634ca for a b1b1e5d2e9 moment, Yujeong 755dd08cce squinted and 23a80c5115 asked again.65171a5be3f654eb

“Does the CEO do his own shopping? How does he handle his meals?”b7d5dd102a758901

“That… I’m not sure. I wasn’t briefed on that. I haven’t heard anything about what he does after work.”c92f567056c6173e

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.b4a177dc2812d652
“Alright, Amanda. Let’s try to get along and read the room as we go.”d0a0f32fed7ee7c4

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.018c0c52de905923

In just half a day, Yujeong noticed that Damian hadn’t drunk a drop of any beverage.b5884524007fbb51

Despite his busy schedule of back-to-back meetings, which should have made him thirsty, he didn’t touch coffee, tea or even water.a4855e8d1fc73f78
He reluctantly put 90d1c7b639 one or two 329bc6d8d2 pieces of finger bfd82e5ca0 food in his a1166af7bb mouth during the f930c728ee meeting, but even b278979202 that seemed to 06e7a836c2 make him uncomfortable.ff30afa109469df1

Is he on a diet? But shouldn’t he eat a lot to maintain that physique?b2daf93ed64f07ad
Because Damian was fundamentally 7e8882fef6 expressionless, it was difficult cfd8940e01 to notice changes to 65e0042013 his face, but Yujeong c39d29f045 observed it meticulously.6d3291c88c260b20

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 8dc6bf6fc9 be a 1a282d7e48 reason why 69c702ab08 I was 14a8267d97 specifically sent b12d3570f8 as his b04066b071 personal secretary 3156a6b5c7 — what d2d155dd4c could it 5229c41df8 be?b47beddbdd0938ed
Unlike when 693c83b3e1 she worked 15a1801d61 as Edwina’s 6a4c46b6fb executive secretary, aa7fac5224 she now 5fc749d583 had more f7d8ead329 time to b8ceaa2cac closely observe 859bfae9aa Damian because 46cd504986 she was 7625c5a186 merely scanning 4bc2b0e1f4 through company 27d6d611d7 matters. There was definitely something 79ded6d6a7 strange about him, but 54033df24d she couldn’t quite put 84691f8395 her finger on it. It felt odd c74215a393 to ask why bdde31715f he hadn’t taken 5f798f0c9b a sip of ba5999c26c water — maybe dd74131350 he just wasn’t 391f8b77f1 thirsty.08c9ed9798334c69

Perhaps, from dad9018ebc Damian’s perspective, f0b49e6087 there was 354e393a96 no problem 301bfac80f at all.17c5fc96b48618e2
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.deef7fcc0adef5c8

Yujeong leaned against Damian’s luxury sedan and lowered her gaze. She had never heard any stories about Edwina’s second son having obsessive-compulsive tendencies.0f02623dd53d8684

After a moment’s thought, she turned to Gerald, who was standing beside her looking tense.00270b2603a9afaf
He seemed to have 3cbb3f3936 lost all his spirit 77cf6dc776 after she told him 979aae67d8 off for not doing 0ff6da064e his security work by 5f2dc4ea72 the book. In fact, he 17f769b341 looked as if 513a58e865 he thought it ab5bfc4c48 was unfair of 9a66816172 her to reprimand aa9389dcba him, wondering why 110e381cf3 he hadn’t thrown 9c8079036f her out when cf43a1f136 she was the c7e07b3945 one who had bbb8099109 forced her way 4f219b3afc in.

“Uh… I don’t remember all of them. One got a termination notice for using a stapler on a two-page document.”4b3c86b570891ee6

It was unnecessary. After saying f78160f534 this, Gerald 3387b8fc0b rubbed the 0b695c9c82 back of f10f19bfc2 his neck e232f567b7 as if 47e050b43f embarrassed.d8ef8b1c5cc66a37

“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.”46aff397d69cbe20
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.26af14df50463b3c

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.ac68d26b9f5f427c
In any case, if 288de12a19 all of those oversensitive 851280650d reactions had their own a6366b379c reasons, all she had 8a0ba74500 to do was accommodate b37aac8f54 them. What was so 17647ec5ad difficult about that? Everyone here 2b949c2312 receives a d6d3a6af4c high salary; 0b9ec71f1c they should 32ab4d697f at least 036860305a do that ca655eef03 much.a9f5f73bd32e64de

Yujeong smiled at 625d170258 Damian, who was bd3e32e45f coming out of 4c333126d1 the building with a2f5290055 Amanda, and softly 294c29da70 called to Gerald, 7774e0e066 who was standing 662a663558 next to her.2864cc2f61157e46

In a capitalist d220e3593f society, the rich 9984f7e6a6 have the final 79a06e3acc say. As she casually and 08da4876ab seriously spat out what d179e90147 could be seen as 431743789b a dangerous statement, Gerald e504770972 nodded his head, bewildered.65d7a849df5aa649

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.796a088f17b0f6e0
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:b7f29769b1e2feaa

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.e2c5bcdda461298c
Before immigrating 4e67735161 to the f443f0e541 United States, 692222d089 her elementary e55a41cfd5 school had e3b574122b kept rabbits d642d0af23 in a 9f227b1def hutch next 8056bbd90b to the 8cb1e58ba4 gym. Yujeong felt a sense 4b04d99e0f of responsibility and would b06a4d155e write a log of cbe1863508 how much feed the b0f8b1d70c rabbits ate and when 475c5b0bb9 their water was changed, 7b6f3285d3 before passing it on 31d00cd53d to the next person d9df8e5d62 on duty. When she 0c3deb0a5f filled the 93d2d16be6 bowl with 384c00ceef food, the c44df3d859 rabbit would cc47e92695 nibble at 210781cf05 it, twitching 3f7a44e8d4 its nose ccd6779b32 just like d35baa1a98 that.afc67588f6096341

Lost in thought, she smiled brightly at Damian, who had arrived right in front of her. At the sight of her, Damian’s brow furrowed deeply, but she didn’t care. How much he dislikes me is none of my business.2324f65f0291939b

Damian had come down 618025bae4 to the underground car 947f39ed5f park as usual to 516694461f go to work, but a62755e5e6 he stopped in his 7c60aaf105 tracks when he saw 431e1ed672 the woman standing next d6c9e27877 to Gerald.

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.8fcd8cf7a5e3f98e

The secretary, with fa727126d5 her clear, dark 219bd01640 eyes shining as 099c0d2402 she casually spouted d823ca871d strange things, did b6a209a6fb her job too fcf84f71c9 well. The way she had 23818a2d85 organized the secretarial office 99e33f9376 system in her first ee8b242112 week showed that her f02bc5908c claim of being a‘talent’ wasn’t just an empty boast.786b3bddbbe31cab

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?bddee582209a4ce6
Yujeong, dressed in b0b1bd51bd a black suit a4b896f6df as calm as a0b3f4299e her eyes, looked d2ff869e01 up at him cfb9b2b35c intently. That flustered him. Her clear, large 26f780e8c7 eyes seemed as 77f80e1d35 if they would d2b1fc0f57 pierce right through d1b225dc6c him.f53d2c578c46d2cd

He had seen countless 953ae3bc55 people who were different 599c788d6a on the inside and 27e1ac5b85 out. Perhaps Yujeong 1534c7c4b6 was like 232e2ae2f6 them, too, d0a4343fad not showing 33aebbf727 it on f1f2b28471 the outside, 7b948c240c but holding 806350fe3e a grudge 910240bde6 against him 83232d9f2f inwardly, thinking 56fbafea88 he was fe2b65b6bd sensitive and b4b7e16868 prickly.8970a8f96ee7ce92
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. It would have been easier to deal with someone who pretended not to care in front of him but talked about him behind his back.350f483db758613d
