-Some say that love at first sight exists just in movies. Some say that is impossible to meet your soulmate that easy. But they weren't a part of that boring and usual story, oh no they weren't.

Maria's pov:
I threw the folders on my table angrily. Everything was such a mess.
- I told you I need them this evening! How am I supposed to work with this?! This is not normal and is the third time this week!
I screamed at my worker frustrated because she never does things how I wanted.
- I am sorry miss Viotto, please forgive me, It will never happen again. May I take it and fix it?
- Out! Now!
She left the room and I sat down in my chair.
- I swear I am too patient with those people here sometimes.
So, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maria Viotto. I'm from Italy but I settled down in South Korea for a bit because a chance for a better job was offered to me here. I always wanted to be successful and all of that. And I always wanted to visit South Korea. So I was happy. It's been almost a year since I am here and I am happy honestly. I like it here. I am still learning korean tho.

About my family, I don't talk to them anymore. I hate them. All they did was to destroy my childhood. That was why I always dreamed of leaving and making my own career. I am successful and a well known lawyer in South Korea now.
All I have from my family is my appearance and that's it.

Recently, I was offered to work with somebody that everyone knows here. I was afraid a little bit I must say. Jung Woo Young. The most known korean mafia leader. He ruined a killing mission because, well I guess he has anger issues too and his pride doesn't let him shut up. I understood he needs a good lawyer. The best one to be precise. And I don't understand why me. I mean I am a very good lawyer but you know. It was almost the time he needed to come, so I cleaned my desk and tried to calm down after the incident with my worker.

Woo Young's pov:
- Come on boys! Now ! I am going to be late!
I screamed at my men. God they piss me off sometimes. I needed to go and talk with a lawyer. I ruined my mission and now I need to get out of this. I can't ruin everything. So I was on my way to Maria Viotto. An italian lawyer. She should be good I thought.

After a while, I was sitting in front oh her office, in a tall building. It looked fancy and all of that. Suddenly I heard a shout that intrigued me and I went closer to her office wich had a glass wall, making it easy to look in. That's when I saw her. That's when I knew.
- I told you I need them this evening ! How am I supposed to work with this?! This is not normal and is the third time this week!
I heard her shout. Ha, anger issues I thought and I chuckled a little looking at her. And I shouldn't think that but the way she threw those folders on the desk. Oh my. She told the worker to get out so I sat again in my chair. I was with my men here for safety. They were also my best friends. I came here with San and Mingi this time. I couldn't be alone of course. But between us is not like a worker and boss thing is more like a leader thing you know. So I was sitting there waiting to be called.

- Mister Jung?
A woman called me. Another worker of hers I thought.
- Yes?
- You may come in.
So I got up and walked in the office.
