The city never slept-but it paused when he walked in.
A black luxury car stopped in front of the towering glass building, and within seconds, the guards straightened, employees lowered their gazes, and silence spread like wildfire.
Kang Jae-Hyun.
The CEO. The name alone was enough to make people nervous.
He stepped out, his polished shoes touching the ground with quiet authority. Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, his presence wasn't loud-but it was suffocating.
Cold eyes. Sharp jawline. No unnecessary expressions.
He didn't smile.
He didn't greet.
He didn't care.
"Good morning, sir," his assistant rushed behind him, slightly out of breath.
Jae-Hyun didn't respond.
Because he didn't have to.
He walked through the office like he owned not just the company-but everyone inside it.
And maybe... he did.
Across the city, in a completely different world-
"Late again! You're always late!"
"I'm not late, the bus is early," she argued, fixing her hair in the reflection of a random car window.
Yoon Seo-Yeon.
A girl with messy dreams, a stubborn attitude, and a life that never went according to plan.
She wasn't rich.
She wasn't powerful.
But she had something rare-
She felt everything deeply.
"Just one day... I'll have a life where I'm not running like this," she muttered under her breath, grabbing her bag and rushing forward.
She didn't know it yet...
But her life was about to change.
And not in the way she imagined.
Back in his office-
"Sir, there's a proposal regarding the merger. The investors are asking about your... marital status."
That made him pause.
For the first time.
Jae-Hyun slowly looked up, his eyes dark and unreadable.
"Why?"
"Sir... they believe a 'stable family image' will increase trust."
Silence filled the room.
Then he leaned back, tapping his fingers once on the table.
"Find me a wife."
The assistant froze.
"S-sir?"
"A contract. No emotions. No complications."
His voice was calm.
Too calm.
"I need someone who can play the role perfectly."
Outside, the city continued its chaos.
Inside, a decision had just been made-
One that would tie two completely different worlds together.
And somewhere... unknowingly...
She was running straight into him.
