Kim Sung Gyu is a successful career man, CEO is his current position in the company called Alan Cosmetics. He has a good public communication, he smile to clients, he talks gracefully to customers.

He never used other people to deal with clients, he himself meet them and settle everything within a day.

That’s why even if he is not a major shareholder in the company, he goes up easily when he got the shareholder’s trust and believe. With his own ability to manage and expand the company.

But on the other side, he is known as the most strict person in the company, he is a detailed man, every single detail of report must be properly organize, if not, you have to ready your resignation letter and there is the door to step out and have to leave your spot in the office or wherever position you were at even if you already had the position in the company.

Some says, as the gossip spread around the company, he was a man who got dump with his fiance that is why his personality is too cold, colder than the ice. Face expressionless, tone too deep and has a single tone, but pitch will definitely be higher and be heard from the first floor to the roof top if he finds out any mistake in your work.

“sir, she is your new secretary.. The HR manager came to his office and introduce the young lady..
The nth secretary hired by the HR department for him.

Yes, maybe he changed secretary every month or some were lasted until half of the year, not literally changed, they always resigned, a forced termination of contract and will never be get over the boss’s personality.

“where is MS. Hani?!! He shouted on the phone talking to the HR manager. Again.

“sir,,I’m sorry I just went to the comfort room..the secretary came in the office after 2 minutes, shaking, nervous, and almost crying, wanting to disappear and wanted to shrink under the cold floor so as not to see those eyes in fire.

“what is your duty as my secretary? He questioned strictly while playing the pen with his fingers.

“to monitor your schedule and~~~~ the lady answered while head lowered, chest bouncing.

“monitor, I told you to cancel and re-schedule the meeting for today right? Then why the client is calling me, and told me that they waited for 2 hours in the meeting place!..Sunggyu yell with so much frustration, anger, and almost ripping and chopping the lady in front of him.

“I’m sorry sir, I forgot~~~ the lady tried to apologize..

“I want you to go to the HR department and submit your resignation letter. I don’t need a dumb and careless secretary in my office!!..he shouted….LEAVE!!!! He pointed to the door…

Just as few days later, Jang Dongwoo, the HR head conducted a special recruitment for a secretarial position, again, for the nth time. But no one had applied due to the rumor about the possible Boss they will work with. Jang Dongwoo was in depress mood because they were just given a week to find a good secretary and it’s almost weekend and no one had applied.

“are you sure you can do the work? He asked in the interview..

“of course, I worked as a personal secretary before, remember? And besides, I need this job, mom need to undergo surgery in a month..

“I don’t want to drag you in this, as a friend, I’m telling you, your boss is not easy as your previous boss. He is too delicate, most especially, he is too detailed, you have to be careful in every single detail of your work. You need to be accurate, you need to understand everything he will say because he hates the word pardon, he will never repeat everything, okay?, and one more thing, if he yells at you, just ignore it, just don’t talk, be quiet, he hates those who fight back or reasoning out. Dongwoo reminds the new hired secretary.

“why you need to scare me? Is he that difficult to work with? The applicant ask..

“the truth? YES, even us, and you are maybe the 47th secretary since he was sited as the CEO..well by looking at the number, you’ll definitely understand what im saying. So good luck..if you need help then call me, you have my number, and don’t worry, this is just temporary,,all you have to think is your mom, auntie needs money…I promise I will help, and I will find a new secretary as soon as possible, just few months…dongwoo said and pat his friend on the shoulder.

Yes, Jang Dongwoo especially hired the friend for the position since his friend has a good background about secretarial position.

“okay…when will I start? The applicant asked..

“I’ll see you tomorrow by 8, he’ll be at his office at 7:30 but I will you to his office by nine, because you will sign your contract tomorrow.

The next morning, Dongwoo entered the CEO’s office bringing with him the new hired secretary.

“sir, this is Name Woohyun, your new secretary,,he talked.

“Good morning Sir, I’m Nam Woohyun, and I will be your secretary from today onwards, hope we can work well together..he introduced.

“A guy? I mean why suddenly hiring a male secretary? And what makes you think he’s qualified enough to this work.? Sunggyu,  response with questions assessing the boy from head to toe.

“I worked as a personal secretary before, It just so happen that my boss had migrated overseas for good that’s why I lose the job. Well as of my entire work to him, he never complained on how I work and as he told me, he’s satisfied enough to my work with him…Woohyun answered.

Sunggyu fiercly look at the new boy and broke with a chuckle. Impressive~~ he commented with a smirk,,then let’s see how far you can work for me, I’m sure, he already reminded you, I mean warned you about me..he said pointing to the HR head who was standing beside him.

“of course he did sir.. Then shall I start working now? Woohyun asked confidently…

“sir, I leave him to you now…dongwoo excuse himself and left giving a final glance to his friend. Worry much actually.

“so what are you doing standing there if you want to start working? Sunggyu said..

“before that sir, I want to confirm all the schedule in this organizer, can I? Woohyun asked and opened the organizer in his hand and starts to dictates everything written inside.

“not bad.. Sunggyu commented again..

“then sir, can we go now? You have your meeting at exactly 9:30 with the board members.. Woohyun said and closed the booklet.

Sunggyu mused and raise a brow while looking at the new employed secretary. The first day, but what about the next day, he thought and find it interesting yet annoying. This kid is too confident.

Few days had passed and the newly hired secretary had done his work properly. One week, two weeks three weeks until it reaches a month. They both worked well together, no hassle, no delays of schedule, accurate and well organize based on the boss’ time limitations.

But one day, they brought them into a misunderstanding. Woohyun took a day of leave to accompany his mom to the hospital. As what Dongwoo had promised? He helped him in financing the hospital bills.

He left notes to the table of his boss to remind him about the schedule for the day, it has only one actually.

But Sunggyu didn’t saw the note and he missed the meeting. He was furious and he’s blowing fire from his nose and ears. He went to the HR and asked for his secretary’s profile and there he got the boy’s phone number. He quickly dialed it and yell to the phone while walking on the hallway through his office, scolding and throwing his anger to the secretary. Sunggyu actually is a forgetful person, the only weakness he has, that I why he always demand a quick and a detailed secretary.
“come to the office..RIGHT NOW!! He yell and hang the phone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woohyun was shocked when he received the call from the CEO and begun to receive scolding and yelling behind the phone.. He was told to go to the office. His mom already in the OR and he can’t just leave.

“who was that? Dongwoo asked..

“it’s the CEO..he’s telling me to report to the office…woohyun answered..

“but why? Did he scold you, I can hear is voice..what did you do? Dongwoo asked again..

“I don’t know..I can’t think of any since I left his schedule on his table and,,,wait,,unless he didn’t~~~ Woohyun thought and assumed..

“I think you must go..don’t worry I’ll be here until you come back.. Dongwoo advised knowing the temper of their boss..

“will it be okay? Woohyun mumbled…he run after and proceeded to the office.

Sunggyu was furiously waiting on his office. Woohyun was rushing and was told by the other staff that his boss is too angry to handle right now. He knock and entered. Sunggyu threw the pen and almost hit the secretary.

“Where did you go and why you didn’t fix my schedule before you took your off? Sunggyu yelled..

“sir,,I did..I left a note and I told the HR that I was taking my off today because of an urgent thing…woohyun answered back..

“what? Urgent? What? A note, then where is THE DAMN NOTE!!! You were hired to work with me and not to mind anything else or do something else..!!! You’re receiving a payment out of your work, but if you are too careless with your work then you should resign by yourself.. Sunggyu said,

Offensively, Woohyun was hurt, his reason for taking his off is not just something else.
“I’m not wondering why there is no secretary that last longer than the probationary period in your office. Working with you is too complicated to handle. First and foremost sir, as do I disrespect you, I want to explain.. Regarding your schedule, I left a yellow note in your table, if you had search it as I told you yesterday that I will leave a note on what time is your schedule for today, second I took my off today, it’s not because of something else or anything else, my mom’s surgery is today and she wants me to be there for her. And lastly sir, is giving my resignation a help to you? For your information, Mr. Jang Dongwoo just asked me and specially hired me for you because no one had applied for the position. I accepted it since I had a good background with my previous work and I need a money for the surgery of my mom..I’m sorry sir, resigning to my work if I knew I didn’t do anything wrong is not working for me, I’ll stay, fire me if you want, but be sure you have enough reason to fire someone else…woohyun uttered.

Though he said all of it, he is not the type of person who will fight back, but for this case since he knew this person is to mean to everyone, he must talk, by risk, even if he will be fired because of disrespecting a higher rank in the company.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunggyu was thinking, the secretary never disappeared in his thought, it was almost midnight but still he is wide awake just thinking how teary the secretary was when he’s talking. He didn’t get off of his sight to the boy, no one dared to talk to him like that. He thought of firing him but as his mind said, he was satisfied to his work. No one did a better in the position thn him.

The next day, as his routine, he came to work at 7:30 and his secretary is already on his desk having a phone call.

“good morning sir,,, Woohyun greeted as soon as he hang the phone.

Sunggyu didn’t mind him, he entered to his office and sited to his chair. Following behind, Woohyun stood in front of the desk and look at him straight in his eyes in which the CEO finds it awkward and looked away.

“sir, there’s a new schedule for today, the client from yesterday’s meeting had called and told me to have another meeting for today, I set the time this lunch which is fine with them…

“okay.. Sunggyu simple response and close his eyes..

“and one more thing sir, my apology for talking back with you yesterday, I was just worried with my mom.. Sorry again sir. Just call me when you are ready to go to the meeting… Woohyun informed him and apologize sincerely like he felt that he talk really disrespectful to his boss.

Woohyun exited without having any word from his boss. How cruel, but he felt pity on him for being mean and one more thing is, he looks so sad, the eye are fierce and sharp that everyone finds it scary. Instead of being afraid of him, looking at those eyes he found the real person behind this evil CEO, it wasn’t a scary person nor an evil one, rather, it is a sad person who has something that he was keeping inside and makes him too anxious all the time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The CEO attended the re-scheduled meeting from yesterday. He met up the client as what his secretary had instructed him. An apology, that is what the client want from the CEO for the wasted time.

Sunggyu sincerely apologize with all his heart just like what Woohyun had told him. A cold and strict person apologizing, that’s not him, but he did.

“thank you for reconsidering our meeting,,the CEO said..

“de, I actually removed your company on my list but since Mr. Woohyun came to me and told me to reconsider this meeting, he told me it’s his fault, that‘s why he did it. Good thing I know him, you are lucky to have him, he’s a hard working man, his previous boss always brag about him. So I d
