CH 1.1

There was no one that came in and out of the Masterpiece Hotel like Hong Se-ha as if it were her own house. 

Se-ha could feel the eyes of the people behind her that aimed towards her as she ran towards the elevator, but she ignored them. 

As soon as she arrived at the 13th floor, she heard glass shattering. She quickly turned left.

As she opened the door at the end of the hallway with the master key, she could see two men brawling. 

“I told you not to hit the face. Unlike you, his face is all he has.”

There was blood dripping from Jang Kwon-woo’s upper lip. He was smiling. Se-ha felt a headache. She quickly scanned around her.

In the room, she noticed the recently famous influencer, Sorbena? Or Sherbet? standing with a chic face. Se-ha had heard that she was dating Hwang Sun-ho. It seemed Jang Kwon-woo had been secretly meeting her and just got caught. 

Se-ha was about to call the secretaries of GW group. Then Hwang Sun-ho grumbled.

“I’m not even surprised. You’re just like your mother who steals another woman’s man for a living.”

As soon as Jang Kwon-woo heard it, he grabbed Sun-ho’s neck and pushed him against the wall. With a loud thump, the shelves on the wall shook.

Please, no! Se-ha quickly ran towards Jang Kwon-woo and tried to stop him. 

Right then, Hwang Sun-ho’s fist slightly hit Se-ha’s head as he swung. As he saw that happen, Jang Kwon-woo fiercely kneed Sun-ho in the stomach. 

“You’re right. It’s genetics. Now go tell your mom that you’ve been beaten by a bastard again.” 

Jang Kwon-woo’s voice was mixed with joy and satisfaction.

Finally, the secretaries of GW Group came rushing in. Se-ha signaled them with her eyes. The secretaries immediately understood as it was not the first time the two rich kids got into a fight. They quickly grabbed and pulled Jang Kwon-woo away from Sun-ho.

“Sir, please. If things get worse from here, it’s your third strike. You know that.”

They were barely able to drag Jang Kwon-woo toward the hallway. On the 13th floor of Myung Hwa’s Masterpiece Hotel, there was a suite that only the owner’s family members could use. Jang Kwon-woo scanned his finger to open the door. As soon they entered the room, Se-ha plopped down. 

“Secretary Hong.”

Right then, Jang Kwon-woo’s big hand suddenly appeared right in front of her face. He placed his finger above her lip. A weird feeling stirred inside her. 

Blood smeared on Kwon-woo’s finger. Her nose was bleeding. As she tried to stand up in surprise, Kwon-woo pressed with his fingers to stop the bleeding. As he saw the blood cover his hands, his eyes became sharp. 

“Hwang Sun-ho did this, right?”

“No, he did not. I didn’t get hit.”

“I know you’re lying because you’re afraid I might run out there again. Tell me,” Kwon-woo demanded.

“You know I have a weak body.”

“I know it’s not weak enough to make you bleed like this.”

“I’m telling you since you asked. The nosebleed is because of you, Director Jang. I got off work every day at 3 A.M. for the past week. And I barely got any sleep because there were lots to take care of in the division.”

She gently pushed his hand away and tilted her head back. As he had nothing to add, Kwon-woo walked into a room to get a towel and tossed it on her legs. 

“Don’t be overly loyal.”

“Was I?”

“You ran towards us with that fragile body without any fear.”

“I’m stronger than I look. In fact, I’m a red belt in Taekwondo.”

“Also, what’s the point of working until your nose bleeds? I told you to just work the amount you get paid.”

“If all bosses were like you, there would be no employer-employee conflict.”

“I’m telling you to stop overreacting. People are going to think Hong Se-ha owns this company.”

“The ones who maintain Myung Hwa are the owners of Myung Hwa. I studied well when I first came here.”

As Se-ha recited the Group’s slogan with a smile on her face, Kwon-woo shook his head. 

When she came out of the bathroom after stopping the bleeding, she saw Kwon-woo taking off his shirt which had become a mess and lost all its buttons from the fight. 

She could clearly see his body. She wanted to look closer, but she quickly looked away as she was afraid of being caught. 

“Do you want me to sew the buttons back on?”

“Forget it. Come here and take a picture.”

“Picture? Are you thinking about suing Hwang Sun-ho for assault?”

Se-ha’s face became purple. He had also hit Sun-ho, so it was assault from both sides. Also, more problems would occur as a woman was involved. But Kwon-woo shook his head. 

“It’s not that. I want a picture of my back.”

“…Oh, okay.”

“My lats look amazing today.”

“I see…”

Kwon-woo handed her the phone. She thought what kind of secretary would take a nude picture of their boss as she focused the camera. 

Well, he’s definitely the only boss in the world with such a beautiful body.
