At 5 PM, Yeon-woo arrived at the dinner venue.

She had arranged to meet Tae-han here, who had external appointments until the afternoon.

The ceiling on the third floor was adorned with a grand chandelier.

People passing under it seemed almost unreal, like watching through a screen.

Yeon-woo, who had expected a more formal attire than usual, realized this place was a completely different world.

Understanding why Sungwon had insisted on her changing clothes before leaving the office made sense now.

And Tae-han’s insistence on having a female partner also became clear.

‘It’s awkward.’

Yeon-woo felt uncomfortable as she glanced down at her attire.

In her hand was a designer mini bag, and her wrist and fingers were adorned with expensive jewelry she had never worn before.

Her attire was no less extravagant. At first glance, the design seemed simple, but the material clung to her silhouette, with the back cut deep enough to reveal her back.

The dress was more akin to an evening gown.

Catching a glimpse of herself in the showroom window, Yeon-woo bit her lip at her unrecognizable reflection.

She worried if her makeup, altered to match her dress, looked unnatural.

As she contemplated removing it, the sound of polished footsteps approached.

The shoes, shining as if new, were familiar.

“When did you start waiting?”

It was Tae-han.

Checking his wristwatch, he appeared dazzling, possibly due to the special ambiance of the place.

“I just got here too. But I didn’t expect the dinner to be this fancy…”

She had guessed it would be a quiet dinner, but this was a mistake.

The venue resembled more of a standing party, with waiters moving around with champagne and finger food.

“You fit in well. As expected.”

Yeon-woo looked at him quizzically as he scanned her appearance.

Did he arrange this? She thought it was Sungwon’s doing, but maybe Tae-han had directed it?

“Let’s go in.”

Tae-han didn’t give her time to adjust and took her hand, leading her inside. Yeon-woo flinched, but remembering it was a business visit, she followed him.

The interior was much more expansive and luxurious than any lounge she could imagine.

The people filled the space like twinkling stars, sophisticated in their attire, seemingly out of a movie.

Yeon-woo, amazed, quietly surveyed the scene. She hadn’t known such culture existed in Korea.

“Try to control your expression.”

Tae-han whispered to her, making her realize she was gaping at her surroundings like Alice in Wonderland.

Feeling self-conscious, Yeon-woo straightened her posture, aware that her behavior reflected on Tae-han too.

“Hey, President Ki Tae-han.”

A group approached them, and Yeon-woo recognized one of the men, greeting him first.

“Hello, Executive Director Yeom Jong-hoon.”

“Secretary Seo. What brings you here with Tae-han?”

“She’s my partner for today.”

Tae-han gestured towards Yeon-woo.

As the atmosphere became conducive for greetings, Yeon-woo stepped away from Tae-han’s arm and bowed.

Apart from Yeom Jong-hoon, Tae-han’s college friend, the rest were strangers. She thought introductions would be brief, but…

“Is this the Secretary Seo that Tae-han mentioned?”

Had Tae-han talked about her before?

As she glanced at him in surprise, the others also started showing interest in them.
“Wow, the legendary Secretary of Tae-han? It’s amazing to see you in person.”

“Pleased to meet you. I was curious, and you’re even more beautiful than I imagined.”

Yeon-woo couldn’t understand their conversation.

‘How do they know me?’

As neither an attending secretary like Sungwon nor primarily office-based, she found it hard to comprehend how they knew her and even had rumors about her.

Noticing Yeon-woo’s discomfort, Tae-han wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

“Stop bothering my secretary.”

But he seemed unaware that his action only made her more uneasy.

“Secretary Seo, does Tae-han treat you well?”

“Would he? This is also a connection, let’s get to know each other from now on.”

Yeon-woo could only muster an awkward smile in the unexpected situation.

Had Tae-han not intercepted the impromptu exchange of business cards, she might have been in a tougher spot.

However, being Tae-han’s secretary, she thought she should display composure, just when a woman approached him.

“Tae-han.”

Yeon-woo’s eyes widened when she turned.

It was Sung Min-hee, recently seen with Tae-han and known for her excellent management skills and stunning looks, as popular as Tae-han himself.

“Here already? I thought you might not come. It’s nice to see you here.”

Min-hee greeted Tae-han with a smile and extended her hand.

Tae-han reciprocated without hesitation.

Despite it being a simple handshake, Yeon-woo recalled the staff’s gossip, feeling uneasy.

“Our CEO’s wife material has to be someone like Sung Min-hee, right?”

Yeon-woo instinctively stepped back, giving space to the closely approaching pair.

But at Min-hee’s mention of “brother,” the atmosphere turned icy.

‘Brother?’
