Upon meeting Hwang Minhyun, the CEO of vampire-run company Empire, you're intimidated by his cold nature and enormous levels of success. As the only human working at Empire, you're bound to get yourself in a few sticky situations, but you'd never guessed that you'd be falling for your boss.

"Ah, no, no, no, no," you groaned, bouncing on the balls of your feet, periodically glancing at your watch as though it would make time slow. "Today's the worst day for this to happen."

You were currently on the bus in morning traffic, and your job interview for the biggest shot in your life was in 10 minutes. You were half an hour away.

The bus inched slowly through the thick traffic, drawing closer and closer to your destination. By the time you were able to finally extract yourself from the crowd on the bus, you were ten minutes late to your interview. When you raced onto the elevator of the huge skyscraper that housed Empire and Co, you were fifteen minutes late. By the time you dashed to the receptionist desk, hair messy and breathing hard, you were twenty minutes late to your job interview for salesperson at Empire and Co, one of the largest corporations in the world.

"Name?" The receptionist asked, not even looking up as her perfectly manicured nails tapped away on the keyboard.

"(y/n) (y/l/n)," you said breathlessly, doing your best to smooth down your suit jacket.

The receptionist looked up sharply, nose wrinkled as she made eye contact with you. Her eyes turned a slight tinted red, as she handed you a visitor badge, her cold, elegant fingers brushing against yours.

You did your best to ignore her stare as you made your way to the conference room where the interviews were being held, pushing the door open tentatively.

"Who is it?" A male voice asked sharply, and you stumbled inside, straightening up quickly as you scanned the room. There were five males in total, four of them sitting in folding chairs, and the fifth standing in front of them. His presence was commanding, and you'd recognize those sharp cheekbones and piercing eyes anywhere—Hwang Minhyun.

"I'm (y/n), one of the applicants," you managed to stammer out, hurrying inside to take the final seat at the back of the conference room.

"You're late," Minhyun drawled, eyes pinning you down as though you were a lowly bug.

"It won't happen again," you rushed to say, half-bowing from your seat. One of the other applicants turned in his seat and faced you, scoffing. His crimson irises made your blood run cold as you realized just what kind of situation you'd gotten yourself into. Empire was known for being an almost exclusively vampire-run corporation. You were one of the few humans brave enough to even apply for a job there, and it was honestly a miracle that you'd secured an interview at all.

"Now, as I was explaining," Minhyun began pacing back and forth in front of the room, hands clasped behind his back, "we're looking to expand our market. We need a salesperson who thinks quickly on their feet, is innovative, and a problem-solver." You perked up at that—those were definitely words that you'd used on your resume. "This interview will be conducted in two segments. The first half will be the group interview—obviously, I'll be asking you all questions. Feel free to answer them if you feel comfortable, and if you do not, I won't pressure you. The second half will be a more hands-on project. I'll be giving each of you an information packet, and will expect a detailed report on it. You'll be giving those to me at the end of this interview."
