3.

The bus was completely full of people on their way to work just like Eunseo.

Eunseo worked as a space designer at DH. DH was a relatively small company with only several hundred employees, but because it was a subsidiary of Korean Constructions, they were given a whole floor of the headquarters building to use.

Korean Constructions headquarters was located in the middle of Gangnam, which was the most expensive town in Korea. As one of the top three construction companies in Korea, it poured a lot of money into this building. It was an impressive structure, and it had become a landmark.

Eunseo has been working here for over a year now, but she still wasn’t used to the building. It was pained green and black, which were the colors of the company logo. The lobby alone was so elegant and extravagant that every time Eunseo walked in, she felt like she didn’t belong.

Other employees were proud of their job, boasting it to their friends and families, but Eunseo just felt burdened. She knew that her shabby self didn’t belong in a building like this.

There was one person she knew truly belonged to this luxurious place. And that was…

She got into the elevator. She was about to press number six when the door reopened to let someone in. Because it was a very tall man, she didn’t have to look up to realize who it was.

“Good morning, Boss.”

Eunseo took a step back to give him more room before greeting him.

“Good morning.” the baritone voice replied quietly.

CEO Kwon Jihwan of DH. He was the person Eunseo believed to suit this building the most. When she first met him, she thought this building was made just for him.

Elegant, luxurious, and cold.

The first time she saw him was during her job interview. It involved just a simple introduction and nothing more. She had already known that Kang Jihwan was the grandson of the Korean Constructions, but when she met him in person, she was shocked to see how young he was.

And it was even more shocking to see what a good looking man he was.

Everyone at DH majored in design or art except for Eunseo. Perhaps this was partly why she didn’t feel like she belonged here.

DH may have been a small company, but it was still a subsidiary of the giant corporation Korean Constructions. So it was a huge surprise that she was hired in the first place. There were plenty of amazing designers and architects who applied for this job. She prepared her portfolio with great care, but she never expected to be hired.

So every time she saw Kwon Jihwan, Eunseo wondered.

Why did he hire her?

Well, it didn’t matter. She was never going to ask him this question.

It may have been a small company, but she was the newbie on the design team. This meant that there weren’t many occasions when she had the opportunity to talk to the boss. To be honest, she didn’t think he even remembered her name.

“…”

Eunseo stood behind him in the elevator and stared at his back.

His shoulders were wide while his waist was attractively narrow. The fashionable three piece suit looked perfect on him, making him almost look like a warrior entering the battlefield that was the design world. His long straight neck was beautifully enveloped with snow white business shirt, and his jaw above looked sharp as ever.

Not a spec of dust could be seen on his dark gray suit, and his hair was perfectly arranged without a single stray strand of hair.

They were riding in the same elevator, but they were from completely different worlds.

“Have a nice day.”

“You too.”

The two said their goodbyes. Kwon Jihwan headed toward his private office while Eunseo began walking toward her cubicle. Now that he was gone, she felt like she could finally breathe now. With a deep sigh, she continued walking.

But now, there was an even bigger problem she needed to face. Imagining seeing Seo Hyunwoo in the office, she felt like she was suffocating again.

Not too long after she was first hired, Eunseo heard the other employees chatting in the break room. She didn’t mean to eavesdrop on them, but it just happened.

“How are the newbies this year?”

“There is one girl who is really pretty. I think her name is Kang Eunseo, right?”

“Ah, her. Yeah, she’s definitely a pretty one. Her face is gorgeous, but her body… Wow.”

She heard men chuckling in amusement. Without seeing them, she could imagine what kind of gesture they must be making. She knew exactly what “body part” they were talking about.

Feeling her face turning red, Eunseo hugged herself.

Her breasts weren’t ridiculously huge like those in cartoons, but they were big considering how thin she was. They were always the first thing men noticed and commented on. It wasn’t unusual for men on the bus to ogle her openly.

Just then, she heard one man comment.

“I thought she had pretty eyes.”
