The person Cha Hyun gestured to with her hand was the very model who had been doing the photo shoot until just moments ago.
The man who had just finished the shoot was now approaching in response to Cha Hyun’s call.
Looking at the man, Ye-eun was reminded of the situation in the hallway earlier.
The man, whose cold arrogance seemed to flow from head to toe, had an unusually crumpled brow that was far from ordinary.
In that same manner, with an expressionless face, the man walked, followed by the photography staff clinging to him.
The tension on the faces of the staff, who were trying to keep up with the man’s long strides with their quick steps, was evident.
The way he handed over cufflinks to the staff, almost as if bestowing mercy upon them, was particularly striking.
He seemed like an absolute ruler over them, his slightly downcast eyes and unsmiling lips exuding unparalleled arrogance.
Yet, his appearance was so stunningly beautiful that it felt like the studio lights were still shining on him, causing Ye-eun to be almost tricked by the illusion.
Perhaps that’s why she felt a chill run down her spine again.

Of course, she had felt a similar sensation with Cha In-woo, although the meaning was entirely different.
With Cha In-woo, it was the tension of a job seeker before an interview, but with this man, it was more like a whirlwind of intense emotions.
Like the awe felt when facing a masterpiece by a master artist, or the instinctive fear one might feel in the presence of an untouchable entity.
For a fleeting moment, she even thought of running away.
Realizing she had been staring too intently at the man who was now close at hand, Ye-eun was brought back to reality by Cha Hyun’s voice.
“Ye-eun?”
Startled, Ye-eun had to hold her breath momentarily.
The man’s dark eyes, gleaming coldly, captured her in a strange sensation.
As he approached, his presence seemed even more overpowering than the brief moment they had passed by each other.
The overwhelming aura that radiated from him was indescribable.

Being a professional in her field, Ye-eun knew that not just anyone could possess such an aura and could only hold her breath in his presence.
This man was a born predator.
A top predator in the food chain, with an untamable wildness.
An entirely different being from the soft-natured Cha In-woo.
Just when Ye-eun was relieved that this man was not the client, Cha Hyun introduced him.
“Our Hanju Group’s Head of Strategic Planning Division…”
The Head of Division?
Wasn’t he a model?
“Cha Doha.”
Startled, Ye-eun clamped her lips shut.

If there’s a man with the surname Cha in the Hanju Group’s Strategic Planning Division…
Could it be?
Cha Hyun’s casual remark to Cha In-woo earlier came to mind.
[What’s the use if you like him? It’s Doha who has to like you.]A foreboding thought crept up from the soles of her feet.
“My other nephew,” Cha Hyun said, looking at Cha Doha with a proud smile.
“Our pride and joy at Hanju. The person I asked Persona to work with.”
A heavy weight seemed to press down on Ye-eun’s chest, rendering her speechless.
So the client was not Cha In-woo but Cha Doha?
Not the gentle and fluffy cotton candy-like man, but a wild leopard ready to pounce and tear at any moment?
The task felt overwhelming.

Having been an image trainer for three years and counting her time as a style manager, Ye-eun had managed the images of many, but this was a challenge like no other.
The difficulty of this task skyrocketed from ‘very easy’ to ‘insanely hard’ in an instant.
Cha Doha slowly opened his mouth.
“So, after all this…”
In his black eyes looking at her, there flickered a hint of contempt.
Already possessing a chilly image, just the slight movement of his eyebrows instantly bloomed frosty ice flowers, chilling the surrounding air.
“Bringing an image trainer without considering my opinion?”
The skewed eyebrows and twisted lips added a touch of unruliness to his arrogant face.
Ironically, even in such moments, Cha Doha exuded a haughty elegance.
Did such a man even need image training?
Why? For what purpose?

As Ye-eun pondered this, Cha Hyun spoke to her.
“Sorry, Ye-eun. As you can see, our Executive Director Cha Doha is a bit rough around the edges. But you’ll look past that, won’t you?”
Snapping back to reality at Cha Hyun’s words, Ye-eun quickly nodded her head.
She then looked straight at the man in front of her, extending her business card.
After all, her and Persona’s future hinged on this man’s every word.
“Please, I look forward to working with you, Executive Director Cha Doha. I am Seo Ye-eun from the image training center, Persona…”
But before she could finish, Cha Doha bluntly interrupted her efforts.
“Image training? I don’t need such things.”
He coldly dismissed her offered card with a haughty glance.
“So, go back, Seo… Ye-eun.”

Those were the last words she wanted to hear.
Her mind went blank.
Yet, part of her desperately hoped this situation was just a test.
