Han jisoo POV:
Every morning my life is a struggle.
The subway was crowded as always. People pushing, bags hitting my face, someone stepping on my shoes. I was already late for work.
My phone buzzed.
Min-ah: Did you wake up late again?
Hee-jin: Team leader is angry today lol
I sighed and typed.
Ji-soo: Coming.
The train stopped at the station. Everyone rushed to get out.
Then later near office I slammed straight into someone.
A very tall someone.
I hit a hard chest and lost my balance. Before I could fall, strong arms caught me.
For one second…
I was in his arms.
I looked up.
Tall. Broad shoulders. Black suit. Sharp face.
And very… very handsome.
My brain froze.
Then he suddenly let go.
I fell.
Straight to the ground.
"Ouch!"
He didn't help me up.
He already had his phone near his ear, talking calmly like nothing happened.
"Yes. Move the meeting to four."
Excuse me???
I stood up angrily.
"Hey! You made me fall!"
He didn't even look back.
He just walked away.
Just like that.
When I entered the office, everyone was whispering.
"The new director came today."
"They say he's very strict."
"But really handsome."
I dropped my bag on my desk.
Handsome? I don't care. As long as he doesn't fire people for small mistakes.
People gathered near the meeting room glass wall.
I got curious and peeked inside.
And then—
My heart stopped.
Standing inside the room…
was the same man from the station.
The tall, rude, handsome stranger.
Our new director.
At that exact moment, he turned his head.
His eyes met mine.
And he recognized me.
