‘If I had experience in love, would I be a little more competent?’

This was one of Minkyung’s worries. From her college days until now, she hadn’t taken the time to fully enjoy a relationship. It’s not like she never had opportunities, but rather that her few ‘partners’ broke up with her before the relationship really began.

They got upset about things she couldn’t understand and questioned her priorities. They were overly concerned about the other people she spent her time with, wanted her to sacrifice an entire day of the weekend to be with them, needed to be in constant communication and became anxious if she didn’t respond to messages quickly. In addition, it hurt them that she showed no interest in their lives and made no demands. For her, it was absolutely incomprehensible. Whenever she said she didn’t understand, their answers baffled her even more.

— This won’t work. I see I don’t mean much to you.

That was the common refrain with which their ‘partners’ ended the relationship.

As these thoughts invaded her mind, she briefed Lee-Seob on the next steps,

“Today, after work, I have a meeting at W Magazine headquarters. The photo shoot is just around the corner. We need to finalize the approach to the photo shoot and, more importantly, discuss viral marketing in detail.”

“Viral marketing?”

“Yes, we must decide the viral marketing strategies for before and after the photo shoot. Timing is key. We are coordinating this together with our company’s public relations department. The plans for now are to release a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot or a couple of photos before the official publication in the magazine, so that the buzz around Faubert’s visit to Korea will be at its peak.”

Lee-Seob, sitting at his desk, was silent for a moment. Minkyung felt a little nervous. Although she had turned him down in recent days, she wanted to point out that the last sexual encounter had been really pleasurable.

‘No, there’s no time for that kind of distraction. Stay focused.’

She tried to convey it with her actions as best she could, but she was still afraid that he would say,

— This won’t work. I see I don’t mean much to you.

It was the first time she was afraid to hear it from anyone, which made it even scarier. Lee-Seob was indeed a very challenging and demanding person for her in many ways.

He finally gestured for her to come over to him. As she walked around the desk and stood beside him, he turned his swivel chair halfway to face her.

“Thank you, Senior Manager Kang. It seems that whether in your dreams or throughout the day, I’m always in your thoughts, doesn’t it?”

Although she had only touched on work matters, it was undoubtedly all related to him. There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, but she was relieved that he wasn’t angry. Besides, she couldn’t deny that Lee-Seob frequently occupied her thoughts.

“Yes, Director.”

Minkyung answered honestly.

“Don’t just think about it, check it out.”

“Excuse me?”

“I broke the 10% body fat mark. It’s now 9.9%.”

Minkyung’s mouth opened in awe. She applauded spontaneously. Since she had seen the life her twin brothers led as athletes, she had high and strict standards when it came to fitness. Even for her, Lee-Seob had built an impressive physique. Of course, he also had a well-endowed body.

“That’s amazing. You have worked really hard and the fact that the results are seen in such a short time shows that your physical condition is superior.”

Lee-Seob laughed in disbelief.

“Do you have to praise my body so formally?”
