Her office sat high above the city, all glass and clean lines - minimalist luxury, quiet power. The moment she stepped inside, her staff straightened like instruments tuned to a single frequency.
Her secretary, Yuna, followed closely behind as Ji Eun shrugged off her coat.
"Your 10 a.m. is confirmed," Yuna reported. "Legal team is waiting in Conference Room A. And..."
Ji Eun paused, turning slightly. "And?"
Yuna hesitated in a way that wasn't like her. "There's… a visitor."
Ji Eun's brows arched. "Who?"
Yuna's expression tightened. "Park Hyun Woo is downstairs."
The air in the corridor shifted.
Ji Eun stilled for half a heartbeat - only half - before her face returned to its usual icy composure.
"Did you tell him I'm busy?"
"I told him you were in meetings all morning," Yuna said carefully. "He said he would wait."
Ji Eun's laugh was quiet and sharp. "He thinks waiting is the same as permission."
"Do you want me to refuse him, Miss?" Yuna asked.
Ji Eun's eyes narrowed slightly as she considered, then she lifted her chin.
"No," she said. "Bring him up."
Yuna blinked. "Miss?"
Ji Eun walked forward, heels clicking like punctuation. "If a wolf insists on entering my house, I'd rather watch it closely than pretend it isn't at the door."
She pushed open her office doors.
"Let him in," she repeated.
