Chapter 1.

Siyeon entered the gate of KBR company with a calm mood, her gaze was always fixed in front, her confident demeanor passed through hundreds of eyes of the employees standing in the lobby. They quickly bowed when they saw the noble director of the company, then quickly fled, because the coldness of the 1m66 tall girl made them feel uneasy when faced.

- Director Lee, Kim SuA got fired from Seoul bank.

The sound of high heels suddenly stopped, Siyeon turned her gaze to the orange-haired Chinese girl, blinking at this exciting new information. It's Handong, her assistant.

- As expected, now what to do next - Siyeon gave a sly smile, the corners of her lips curled up making her beautiful face even more attractive, she raised her hand to stroke her short blonde hair once. .

- I will try to contact all the companies that we have a connection with, SuA won't be able to get into any company other than KBR.

- I'm waiting for good news from you - Siyeon said the last sentence and walked on, very excited in her heart.

Kim SuA is a character that Siyeon has been following for over a year now. That girl Kim is an extremely outstanding person, with extraordinary talent.

Such a special person that Siyeon let SuA work somewhere other than her company KBR? Of course not, she put in a lot of effort and thought of many tricks to direct Kim SuA to become her staff.

She has a special affection for SuA, Kim SuA must be in her sight, must work with her to satisfy her.

A month's worth of hard work has finally come to fruition. A month ago Siyeon made the decision to bring SuA back to her side. It has been a long time since she has met SuA in person, only received information about SuA through the accounts of employees who are working for her, inside and outside the company.

She knows SuA is working very hard at Seoul bank, SuA’s profession is finance. Such an excellent and beautiful person is easy for Seoul Bank to refuse? No. So Siyeon had to use a few tricks to get the Seoul bank manager to kick SuA out of the organization.

Although that incident brought a bad reputation to SuA, Siyeon didn't care much, what she needed was SuA’s presence in her daily life.

At the end of work in the late afternoon, Siyeon climbed into the company car to be driven home, her personal driver was a very handsome and young, last name Park, Park Jimin, the same age as Siyeon.

- The sunset is so beautiful - Jimin is driving while looking at the wide landscape in front of him, the mood is very peaceful even though the road is a bit crowded and noisy.

Siyeon who sat in the back seat didn't respond, just looking out with emotionless brown eyes. The dark pink sky is slowly turning gray, then ending in pitch black. The sky outside is like her life, every day is a repeating circle with nothing special. Get up in the morning to go to work, drink a cup of coffee, come home at sunset, have dinner with some wine or beer, shower and go to bed, and then continue the same day the next day.

The villa that Siyeon lives in is very far from the company, taking more than 1 hour by car. Her large house, of course, cannot be placed anywhere in this cramped city because it is not suitable, having to go to the suburbs is ideal. That's why when Siyeon goes to work, she has to get up earlier than others, when she comes home, she comes back later than others.

She doesn't have many friends, she just has many employees. And the employee and the boss always have a certain distance, she cannot consider them as close friends to vent all her feelings. Siyeon is an introvert, doesn't like to go out, doesn't like to exercise, and has no need to make friends from all over the world. Those personalities have inadvertently created a bleak life around her. Even in the business  market, she is not an ambitious or competitive person, she is only interested in the sustainable development of KBR, with no intention of being superior to anyone or winning anyone.

- I heard that Kim SuA will come to KBR to work in a week, are you mentally prepared? – Jimin once again broke Siyeon's quiet space.

- Prepare what mentality? - Siyeon still looked out, calmly said.

- You haven't seen her in a long time.

- Well, just think of it as normal, SuA doesn't know who I am

- But people in the company will have certain reactions if they see her, especially longtime employees of KBR.

- Tomorrow I will start ideological communication for all staff, don't worry - Siyeon crossed her arms, thumb and index finger rubbing together, in her head can’t stop thinking.

- Are you sure that SuA will apply for a job at KBR? we're a media company, definitely not her style right now.

- Not sure, but have to be sure, KBR will be her only choice - Siyeon smirks, confident about the plan she is doing.

The rolling black car finally arrived at the mansion in the suburbs. Siyeon walked down proudly, about to enter the house when Jimin called back.

- Director Lee, what do you want to have breakfast tomorrow? I will prepare it for you.

- Mint coffee - Siyeon waved her hand and turned to go inside.

- You can't keep drinking coffee like this, you have to eat something, I'll buy you cheese tokbokki, your favorite dish.

- No need, coffee is fine.

Siyeon walked to the door and sighed. It's been a long time since she has had breakfast, only drinks coffee, even though she knows it's not healthy at all, but she doesn't care….

The one who made her want to have breakfast, only one person...

At nightfall, Siyeon calmly enjoys her dinner in front of the backyard swimming pool. She was alone in her house, but there were two cleaners, a cook, who came to her house on duty every afternoon and then left.

The food, the space, the music around the house make everything seem perfect, but Siyeon feels extremely lonely. She had lived like this for a long time, but she still hadn't gotten used to it.

Every day she wondered, when will these gloomy days end...

She was born in a not-so-well-to-do family, so from a young age she wished to live in a big and beautiful house, to eat delicious food. Now she has granted all her childhood wishes, but she does not feel happy.

She knew that such days would end soon, because she had a plan in mind. The point is now to be patient to wait for that day.

Climbing into bed, Siyeon picked up the phone and talked to Kim Yoohyeon, one of her employees outside her company.

“Embarrassing SuA is the worst thing I've done in my entire life, I've only done it once. Next time something like this happens, you will go and ask someone else to do it" - Yoohyeon's annoyed voice.

- Haha, okay thank you, you getting paid is quick but always grumbling when working - Siyeon holds the phone in one hand and squeezes the plush toy next to her. Her character often gets itchy hands, if she doesn't squeeze or pinch something, she can't stand it.

“At that time, SuA looked very angry, she was unfairly blamed and could not do anything. It was not the director of Seoul bank who fired SuA, but because she herself resigned because she couldn't accept it"

- SuA was forced to compensate the bank, right? Please cleverly compensate on her behalf.

“It is true that SuA was forced to compensate, cut her salary for several months to replace the compensation, but she took the initiative to take a leave, the Seoul bank would normally sue her and ask for money, but I solved it, done. SuA just lost her job”

- Okay, I'm going to sleep.

"When you see Kim SuA again soon, you will be shocked"

- How shocked?

"She dyed her hair black, so pretty"

---

The next morning, Siyeon went back to the company to work as usual, her eyes dark circles due to lack of sleep. The reason for losing sleep, because of looking at a person.

Yoohyeon is Siyeon's employee, responsible for monitoring Kim SuA's every movement during the past time. Yoohyeon sent her a photo, SuA's new hair color.

Saying new hair color isn't exactly true, but this is the first time Siyeon has seen SuA with jet-black hair. For a long time she had seen SuA with different hair colors. Purple, yellow, pink, last time they met, SuA’s hair was pink.

SuA must have had black hair when she was in school, but Siyeon didn't get a chance to see her photos when she was in school. When the two met, they were both already in adulthood. Kim SuA has a very fair skin, so her hot hair looks good, her starry face looks like a queen. Her personality is very extroverted and likes to stand out wherever she goes, that's why she always wears light colored hair.

But when she wears black hair, her beauty multiplies, Siyeon spent the whole night just staring at a photo of SuA's black hair, when SuA had just walked out of the salon. SuA has been slandered at the Seoul bank, so she has mental breakdown, so she decided to change her hair color.

- Director Lee, your eyes are so lifeless - Handong stammered, voice worried.

- I'll go home early to make up for it later, I didn't sleep last night - Siyeon rubbed her eyes, flipping through some work papers.

- Yesterday, you texted me about holding a company meeting, I already informed all employees, what is the content of the meeting?

- To inform the previous for employees, especially the former employees, so that when they meet SuA again they will not be shocked.

- SuA just applied for a job at Rabbitbank, Kim JiU helped us to refuse.

- It's so good - Siyeon is still working with papers, lips curling into a smile.

- Ms. Kim is interested in your plan, so she wants to invite you to dinner to talk about it.

- I'll call JiU later.

- When you want us to act? let me call Gahyeon.

- Wait a few more days, let Kim SuA get tired. Now, let's go to the meeting room – Siyeon got up and started moving.

- Haizzz this director is so weird, she dares to open her mouth to say that she really likes Kim SuA, but she tortures SuA too much - Handong mumbled and followed.

In the large meeting room of KBR, the auditorium contains a total of 1000 people, including veteran and new employees, and new trainees who have been in the company less than ten days are also present. All employees received the meeting notice early in the morning and were in an anxious mood, because they did not know whether the content of the meeting was positive or negative.

- Unexpected meeting like that, can only be negative news - a staff guy whispered to a friend next to him.

- Dead, is there any notice of mass layoffs? – a murmur in another area.

- God, I don't want that, work is going well...

Siyeon stepped onto the stage with the clack of high heels, all the noises below suddenly stopped. She stood in front of the mic, took a deep breath, her brown eyes scanning the entire large room at once.

- I called everyone here today to announce something important.

- ……………………

- Soon the company will accept a new employee, and when everyone see this new employee, some will feel normal, but some will feel abnormal.

- ……………………

- What I want everyone to do is act like it's nothing, pretend that the new employee is real new employee, if it looks familiar, pretend it's not. And if you can't pretend, dodge as much as possible.

- ……………………

- If I find out that someone in the company can't do this, that person will be fired.

The entire staff lifted their shoulders a little in panic, they turned to each other with confused eyes, because they didn't know the person is being mentioned

- Who is the new employee? someone we already know?

- Look tight, I came here to work on engineering, data processing, why is she making me an actor now?

- Quiet !!!

The audience fell into contemplation once again.

- If everyone's reaction when meeting the new employee is like that, it is not good, calm down - Siyeon said softly, eyes narrowed, giving off a cold feeling.

- …………………….

- That's just today's meeting, remember what I just said, or leave the company.

Siyeon finished talking and walked down the stage, the sound of high heels clacking with each beat until she was completely out of the auditorium.

Handong let out a sigh, holding her breath just now because she was so nervous. She is the one who knows who the other person is, but she also feels pressured.

- Wow, the director is obnoxious, her hair is blond, her nails are long and shape, she also wears ferocious eyeliner, and often talks nonsense, if not for the salary ideally here, I would never work for KBR – whispers of gossip began to emerge from every corner of the auditorium.

- After all, who is the new employee and why does it sound so serious, is it male or female, young or old?

- Breathe easily Handong, everything will be fine - Handong received a shoulder rub from Dami, the company's head of recruitment.

- It's easy for you to say - the Chinese girl pouted.

- Trust me, it's not the employee who will lose their temper, it's not you, it's not me - Dami said with a confident smile.

- Then who is it?

- It's that director who always wants to act cold.

Oddeye coffee shop.

SuA is sitting at the outside table on the sidewalk with her laptop, it's been a few days and she's been rejected 8 times for her job application for no good reason.

"Sorry Miss Kim, we can't accept you"

"Why?"

“Because you come from Masan Province”

"What? What does Masan Province have to do with it?"

“We are very sorry”

----

“Sorry, we are rejecting Ms. Kim’s application”

"Why?"

“Because your appearance is not suitable for the position you applied for”

"What? What part of my body doesn't fit?"

"Height"

"You act like I'm applying to be a model, I'm applying for a job as a salesperson"

"I'm sorry"

-----

“Your application was denied, I'm sorry”

"Why?"

"Because your name is SuA, the same as our boss's name"

SuA took a sip of strawberry tea and then put the glass of water on the table with great force, making a not-so-peaceful noise. She tapped on the laptop keyboard as if she was about to vent her anger.

- Hello, beautiful sister - a girl with a bright face like an angel, sat down across from SuA and gave a deceitful smile.

- Who are you? – SuA asked coldly, she was already frustrated, so she didn't want to make new friends at this time.

- I'm Lee Gahyeon, I'm 5 years younger than you.

- How do you know my age? – SuA stopped her fingers, she frowned and looked at the face of the girl opposite. Long black hair, wide and shining smile, that girl was wearing a short black two-piece dress that showed a lot of skin, looking young but very bold. SuA thought and thought again and again, but still concluded that it was a stranger, not an acquaintance.

- That's for later, now I want to play a game with you, do you agree?
