Seo Rin, having finished her satisfactory check, picked up her black tote bag that matched her outfit and left the house. As she stepped out of the entrance of her apartment, Chief Park, who had been waiting for her, approached, bowing his head slightly.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Hm. Do I look worn out today?”
“Not at all. You look like a model.”
Worried that her tired and wornout expression might appear as a lack of confidence to the shareholders, Seo Rin had deliberately applied a facial mask before going to bed last night.
She had even done a facial mask, which she normally didn’t do, hoping that it would compensate for the stressfilled sleepless nights of the past few days. At the unexpected answer to her question, a soft chuckle escaped her lips.
“Chief Park, you know how to flatter?”
“It’s not… flattery…”
Passing by Chief Park, whose voice trailed off, Seo Rin got into the car and checked her phone. It was an important day, so it seemed reasonable to expect a message from Tae Joon, but her phone remained silent.
In the end, she was the one who couldn’t wait and sent a message first.
I’m leaving for the office now.
Hm. Don’t worry and go ahead. I’ll be there soon.
Only after seeing his message, which seemed to have been waiting, did she allow herself a small smile.
She put her phone back into her handbag and turned her gaze out the window. She couldn’t believe that such a day had finally come.
The media was abuzz with the power struggle at Sungwon Corporation almost every day.
They classified and analyzed the situation, distinguishing the longexperienced directors and President Baek who had contributed to Sungwon so far as the old forces, and Seo Rin, who appeared like a comet a few years ago and brought Sungwon’s main branch, Crystal Hotel in Seoul, to the top in customer satisfaction, as the new force.
Experts supported President Baek. Regardless of how capable Seo Rin was, they pointed out her lack of experience due to her age.
People still thought that all of this was a stroke of luck that coincided well with the times.
It was unbelievable. She, the person in question, had never once experienced luck in her life.
How much more did she have to struggle and climb to be recognized for her abilities?
“Executive Director, we’ve arrived.”
Upon hearing Chief Park’s voice, Seo Rin, who had been lost in her thoughts, collected her handbag and got out of the car. The secretarial team, who had been waiting for her, greeted her.
“Have you arrived, Executive Director?”
As she nodded her head and took a step, a group of men poured out of the revolving door of the Sungwon Building. They were familiar faces. Among them was Director Kim.
When his eyes met with Seo Rin’s, Director Kim turned his head away, trying hard to avoid her. He seemed to lack confidence, perhaps due to the guilt he felt.
As she turned her head, a large sedan just entering the area came into view. It was President Baek’s arrival.
The car door opened and President Baek, buttoning his suit, stepped out. His robust physique, which was unusually youthful for his age, appeared incredibly threatening today.
Unconsciously, Seo Rin gripped the handle of her tote bag tightly.
“You’re early.”
“So are you, uncle.”
“Right. We’ll see each other in a bit. I wish you luck.”
There was a suffocating chill between the two. Even though they were uncle and niece, their relationship had become worse than that with strangers.
“Let’s go inside, Executive Director. It’s chilly.”
Only after hearing Chief Park’s words did Seo Rin move her feet.
Wishing her luck? Did he still think that everything she held in her hand was just luck?
To hell with luck!
Sorry, but she didn’t believe in luck.
She was going to forge everything with her own hands.
From one to ten, everything.
There could be no exception today either.
Arriving early at the conference room where the temporary shareholders’ meeting was to be held, President Baek took his seat where his nameplate was located.
Following him, the directors also took their seats where their nameplates were. The seats with nameplates were mostly those of the major shareholders, and separate seats were arranged at the back for small shareholders.
President Baek looked for The MG, scanning the seats of the major shareholders who had not yet arrived. The MG’s representative had not yet arrived, but the location of the seat was close to Seo Rin’s.
Displeased with this, President Baek called the secretary general and ordered him to move the seat to a front row seat where he could face him.
A moment later, the seat was moved.
A satisfied smile crossed President Baek’s lips only after placing The MG’s nameplate in a prime seat where he could make eye contact.
However, an unintended conversation from the directors behind him came to his ears.
“Ha, have you seen Executive Director Baek today? I thought a supermodel was standing there.”
“That’s right. It’s such a waste to have such visuals sitting at a desk in a place like this.”

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
