As Ha Young Eun immediately delved into a series of calls to investigate the rogue reporter, you stood by the expansive glass wall, overlooking the city below. From your vantage point, the people bustled like ants, oblivious to the tempest raging within the walls of your office.

The rhythmic tapping of her fingers on the phone echoed in the background as Ha Young Eun skillfully navigated through contacts and sources. Each call was a step closer to unraveling the mystery behind the breach of your closely guarded family secrets.

Your eyes, still ablaze with restrained anger, scanned the cityscape. The chaos of the metropolis mirrored the tumult in your mind. The glass wall seemed like an impermeable barrier, shielding you from the world yet offering a clear view of its intricate complexities.

As Ha Young Eun delved deeper into the investigative web, you paced the office, the echo of your footsteps resonating with the gravity of the situation. The intricacies of the city below seemed worlds away from the battlefield of reputations being fought within these walls.

The city continued its symphony of motion, oblivious to the clandestine investigations transpiring above. The glass wall, once a mere observer of the urban tapestry, now bore witness to a battle of secrets and revelations.

Your assistant, immersed in her task, remained focused on extracting every piece of information that would lead to the exposure of the rogue reporter's sources. The delicate dance between public image and private affairs reached a critical juncture, and the office, perched above the bustling city, became the epicenter of a clandestine battle for justice and vindication.

After eight hours of meticulous investigation, the threads of the tangled web began to unravel. The revelation finally emerged – the betrayer's name was Ho Joon, an old worker from your mansion who had been employed during your father's lifetime. The news hit like a sudden storm, both unexpected and unsettling. Ha Young Eun, with a mix of frustration and triumph, approached you with the findings.

"It appears, sir, that an old worker, Ho joon from your mansion, employed during your father's time, is the source of the leaked information," Ha Young Eun revealed, her voice tinged with a sense of closure to the arduous pursuit.

Your jaw clenched, the revelation striking a chord of betrayal. The tendrils of the past reached out, connecting the breach to a familiar place. The sanctuary of your home, once a haven, now harbored a traitor who had spilled the guarded secrets of your family.

The revelation landed like a punch, the sense of betrayal palpable in the air. Ho Joon, once a trusted presence in the mansion, had become the conduit for the exposure of your closely guarded secrets. The echoes of your father's era reverberated in this act of treachery.

As Ha Young Eun delivered the damning information, you leaned against your desk, your expression a mix of disappointment and resolve. "Ho Joon," you muttered, the name leaving a bitter taste. The weight of familial history, already fraught with complexities, now bore the additional burden of betrayal.

"What did he gain from this?" you questioned, the bitterness seeping into your words. The quiet betrayal of someone you once considered part of the family struck a nerve.

Ha Young Eun, meticulous in her delivery, continued to lay bare the details of Ho Joon's actions. "It seems he sought monetary compensation for the information. A despicable act of betrayal, sir."

As you processed the information, a new resolve emerged. The battle for justice had shifted its focus from the elusive reporter to an internal foe. The city below continued its rhythm, oblivious to the unraveling saga transpiring within the walls of your office. The confrontation with the betrayer awaited, promising a reckoning that extended beyond the confines of a press conference or a glass-walled office.

"Unearth the buyers of this information and unveil the extent of knowledge," you proclaimed with unwavering resolve, rising from your chair and striding purposefully out of the office. The urgency in your voice resonated like a commander rallying troops for a mission of critical importance. "I want every fucking individual involved in my office within a week."

Ha Young Eun nodded, her determination mirroring your own. "I'll initiate the investigation immediately, sir," she affirmed, her fingers poised over the keyboard to commence the next phase of the inquiry.

"Ensure none of the motherfuckers slips through the cracks," you asserted, the sharpness in your voice slicing through the night air. The pursuit of justice transformed into an unrelenting chase, a commitment to hold accountable all those entangled in the sinister revelation.

The city's night air greeted you upon exiting the company building, its skyline shimmering with artificial brilliance. The weight of betrayal fueled your determination to expose any collaborators in this orchestrated breach of privacy.
