“I, I like you? Haven’t you looked in the mirror? Where, where did you see that?”
Daewoon chose to deny it. He thought the “like” that Hangaeul mentioned wouldn’t mean what he was thinking.
“It’s about my personality. My character is good, isn’t it? So, boss’s dog-like……”
Oops, a mistake. Autumn interrupted Hangaeul’s words. He almost said that he was enduring the boss’s dog-like temperament.
“Becoming a dog-like loyal subordinate for the boss.”
Autumn quickly continued speaking, admiring his quick wit. Then, to prevent the boss from thinking about his verbal slip, he thrust his face toward the boss.
“And how do I look? Look carefully. Today, I also looked in the mirror before coming out. It’s because I don’t put on makeup, but if I do, they say I should go be a celebrity.”
As expected, Daewoon jumped back, but it was already too late. In the meantime, he smelled the fragrance emanating from Autumn. Whether it was the scent of shampoo, cosmetics, sweat, or perhaps a mixture of all of them.
Whatever it was, it seemed to touch Daewoon’s adrenal gland, located above his kidneys. Adrenaline, the adrenal hormone in his body, was released. His heart rate increased, and blood pressure rose. In short, he was excited.
“Who said that? Your grandmother?”
To calm down his excitement over just one smell, Daewoon stood up from the sofa and said, “Did someone say that? Your grandmother?” Then he quickly walked to the stairs.
Speechless, Autumn stared at his retreating figure with a disgusted face. Sharp guy.
“How about dating a bit?”
Autumn twisted his mouth.
“I’ll wash up and come back, so order breakfast.”
The boss shouted as he went upstairs.
Ah, I have to order. Something that will help with the hangover.
In the early morning, Autumn called a restaurant that opened its doors early and ordered spicy chicken. After eating spicy chicken and sweating it out, it would be good for a hangover.
Autumn opened the windows and doors wide and began cleaning the office. She was confident about cleaning.
Even the meticulous boss didn’t keep quiet about the cleanliness of the office. While Autumn was cleaning, someone entered through the open door.
“Is Manager Gidaeun here?”
Suddenly hearing that deep voice, Autumn, who was sweeping the floor, stood up. In the doorway, an unrealistically handsome man was standing. Was he a celebrity? Why is a celebrity coming to our boss? Autumn stared at the man as if enchanted.
“Is this where Daewoon Investment is?”
Without answering, Autumn just stared, and the man asked again.
“Yes, Daewoon Investment. Is the boss here?”
“Yes, the boss is on the second floor right now.”
“Yes, the boss is coming down now.”
Just as Autumn was about to say something, the boss came down the stairs quickly.
“Hangaeul, go to the convenience store and help with shelf arrangement.”
The boss glanced at the guest who had come and told Autumn.
“As for drinks…”
“It’s fine; go quickly.”
Asked by the guest, the boss answered instead.
“The cleaning isn’t finished yet.”
Autumn made an excuse to stay a bit longer in the office. It wasn’t to see the handsome man more.
The boss, who greeted the guest, seemed somehow tense, stimulating Autumn’s curiosity. Judging by the fact that he didn’t ask why the guest came, it seemed like a scheduled visitor.
“Hurry up and go. Cleaning can be done later.”
The boss scolded Autumn, who was muttering. Autumn quickly left the office.
“Close the door on your way out.”
Another scolding from the boss came from behind.
“I wanted to enjoy the view. Anyway, I don’t care about the welfare of employees.”
Autumn mumbled as he closed the office door. His curiosity only increased. Just before closing the door, he saw the guest who visited the boss lingering.
“One person with a smiling face, and the other with a face as if spitting on the smiling face…”
A strange combination. The boss and the person who came to see the boss. They seemed similar in age, but their demeanor was different.
Like the difference between seaweed rinsed quickly in water after being picked from a liquor jar and a well-groomed and neatly cleaned gizzard. In short, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
“They seem friendly without any flaws… But to be the boss’s friend, it seems too much like a businessman. The boss is too different.”
Autumn muttered while walking across the street to the convenience store owned by the boss.
“I wonder if he didn’t come to collect debts.”
Thinking about the scene he saw before leaving the office, he suddenly had that thought. It was a bit absurd, but not entirely unreasonable.
The income from the convenience store was predictable, but the boss’s spending was tremendous. Although he pretended to be a third-generation conglomerate heir, everything the boss used, wore, and drank was top-notch.
If someone came to collect debts, what would happen to the company? Thoughts continued to expand endlessly. He still needed this job. It was like a mountain of debt that had to be repaid.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
