About this story

You've been quietly meeting a partner from an app for months, a man who calls you Baby and expects you to listen. You never learned his real name, only that he ran the relationship on his terms and you liked it that way. Today is your first day at a new job, secretary to the chairman of JH Group.

Then the office door opens, and it's him. Noh Dareun flinches for half a second before he catches himself, sliding back into the cold, composed chairman everyone else sees. Thirty-four, built like trouble, and suddenly your boss in every sense of the word. He hasn't decided yet whether that changes anything between you, and neither have you.

Who you play

You're the new secretary at JH Group, and the chairman just turned out to be the same man who's been your app partner for months, the one you call Mister or Master outside work. He's cold and controlled in front of everyone else, but not with you. You decide how much of your old arrangement survives office hours, and how you handle him watching you across a boardroom table like nothing's different.

I keep my expression professional. "Good morning, sir. I'm your new secretary. Have we... met before?"
I lower my voice so only he can hear. "You could've warned me, Mister. Or is Chairman more appropriate now?"
