That was the most appropriate word to describe the man named Kwon Yool.

‘But there has to be charm that makes your heart flutter.’
Seo Yeon felt a small joy, as if she had discovered something remarkable.

‘CEO… Where is such a unicornlike man?’
She muttered quietly, feeling her heart race.

“Such a unicornlike man… I think I’ve found him.”
Feeling oddly full of joy, like a person who had unexpectedly grabbed onto luck.

In response to this unfamiliar emotion she hadn’t felt in a while, Seo Yeon bowed her head and buried her face in the letter paper.

From the rustling paper, there was a faint lingering scent of a dry ballpoint pen and his woody scent.

“Hmm. Good. Very good.”
Seo Yeon stroked the neat handwriting with her fingers as if caressing Kwon Yool’s cheek, and then put it back in the box in the same condition as when she first received it.

Holding the box close to her chest as if it was a precious treasure, Seo Yeon headed towards the bedroom.

Then, she put the box in the first drawer of the bedside table and smiled proudly.

“Will you continue to give me letters like this?”
She laughed again at his promise to write letters until the box was full.

Then she thought of Kwon Yool again.

A man with some sort of classic charm.

Not just in handwritten letters, but in his words, actions, he was a serious person with no lightness.

It would be too much to call him unusual, but he couldn’t be called common.

Seo Yeon peeked at the bedside table and thought.

If she had really met a unicornlike man, she should be cautious and do her best this time.

She was more serious, special, and even cunning than ever.

((()))((()))((()))

After Wednesday, Seo Yeon felt as if she was flying high.

Although she was bothered by Ho Jin who avoided her call under the excuse of being busy, her body and mind felt light in their best condition.

Until she heard the exact report from Secretary Choi.

“Today’s last schedule is at 4 PM, DN Home Shopping’s CEO Choi Min Hyuk will visit our company.”
Ah! The guy who has a sameaged girlfriend?

At the dinner meeting on Monday, he wanted to set a date for a meeting, and on Tuesday morning, he expressed his desire to visit as he wanted to know the scale of Haniblack’s company.

There was nothing to hide or exaggerate, so she allowed the visit.

It seemed to be scheduled for Friday.

“What about the report I asked for?”
“It’s ready.”
“Then, tell each department to clean up around, especially the design room and the lobby to be more tidy. Please ask the cleaning ladies to take special care today.”
“Yes, CEO. And what should we prepare for refreshments?”

She even pondered if she had to cater to that man’s tastes, but she didn’t want to miss out on the details.

“Do you have any information about the CEO? Basic profiles and such.”
At Seo Yeon’s question, Secretary Choi started to recite his profile like an AI.

“New York? He stayed there longer than I thought.”
Seo Yeon, who had once attended a design school in New York, remarked.

“There’s a famous dessert shop from New York located in the basement of Gangnam Department Store. Have a few snacks delivered from there. There’s no need for you to go personally.”
“Yes, CEO. But what about dinner?”
Dinner with that CEO?

She then remembered the large dinner she had unintentionally enjoyed last time.

“Just in case, please book a reservation at Cheongdamdong BI. When making the reservation, please let them know that it can be cancelled. That way, CEO Choi can cancel if he has a schedule afterwards.”
At Seo Yeon’s instructions, Secretary Choi, bowing his head, swiftly exited the office.

Seo Yeon, who let out a quiet sigh, prepared a few extra documents for the young CEO who was visiting for the first time.

Whether he left a good or bad impression, it didn’t matter.

After all, they were bound by work, and his little decisions significantly affected Hanni Black’s sales.

“There’s nothing wrong with showing it well.”
Seo Yeon instructed the PR team over the phone to process the photos of the new products they had taken, like a catalogue.

Then, before he arrived, she worked on a mountain of tasks at a terrifying speed.

How much time had passed?

With a calm knock, Secretary Choi entered.

“CEO Choi Min Hyuk has arrived at the lobby.”
“What about the refreshments I mentioned earlier?”
“I will prepare and bring them immediately.”
Seo Yeon, who nodded her head, stood up from her place and stood in front of the fullbody mirror.

She quickly fixed her clothing and even applied fresh lipstick.

Then, she sat back down at her desk as if nothing had happened.

Knock knock, soon the sound of two knocks was heard.

When Secretary Choi opened the door, a cleancut man dressed in a perfectly tailored luxury suit revealed himself.

“Welcome, CEO Choi Min Hyuk.”
“It feels different seeing you here. CEO Han Seo Yeon.”
As Seo Yeon stood from her place, he greeted her with a handshake.

He really liked handshakes.

Seo Yeon, considering it a business greeting, lightly shook his hand.

Then, she looked over her shoulder.

What the… did he come alone? What about Director Hyun Woo or his assistant?

When Seo Yeon, who had turned her head, stared at the door, Min Hyuk also turned his gaze to the back.

“Why? Is there something?”
“I was wondering if the other employees didn’t come.”
“Do they need to be here?”

“It doesn’t matter to me. But are you sure it’s alright?”
This implied that it wasn’t typical for the CEO to come alone.

“After all, today is not about exchanging documents, but to verify if Haniblack has the capability to handle a larger contract, so I came alone.”
Seo Yeon responded with a professional smile to his thoughtful remark.

“There’s no need for multiple superiors in a superiorsubordinate relationship. Please, have a seat over here.”
At Seo Yeon’s gesture, Min Hyuk looked around and spoke.

“Your office interior is nice. May I look around? I am currently decorating my office.”
“There’s nothing special, but feel free to do so.”
That was a lie.

In reality, Seo Yeon’s office could be described as a luxury brand store relocated in its entirety.

The lighting, the furniture, there was nothing casually chosen.

Every single accessory, all highend pieces, had been meticulously placed by Seo Yeon.

Min Hyuk freely roamed around Seo Yeon’s office.

He stood for quite a while in front of a cabinet displaying awards and framed sketches of designs that Seo Yeon had made popular over the years.

Moreover, he scrutinized the paintings Seo Yeon had created.

It was terribly uncomfortable, but she couldn’t show any signs of disliking it.

Seo Yeon kept her distance, about ten steps away, merely answering his questions and keeping pace with him.

“I had a hunch. And indeed, I was right.”
Min Hyuk muttered an ambiguous phrase while standing in front of a picture taken with Washington Square Park in New York as the backdrop.
