THE WORLD SHE PAINTED RED |KTH(18+)

CH-9| MY WOMAN~



The grand hall room at Park Industries buzzed with anticipation. Employees, dressed in their finest attire, mingled with reporters from prestigious business magazines. The chandeliers sparkled, casting a warm glow over the room. The air hummed with excitement as everyone awaited the arrival of the new CEO.

Host, a poised woman with silver-streaked hair, stepped onto the stage. Her voice carried through the room, commanding attention. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, thank you for joining us. It is my pleasure to introduce the person who will lead Park Industries into the future."

The crowd leaned forward, eyes fixed on the double doors at the back of the room. The doors swung open, revealing Park Isabella—a woman in her thirties, clad in a tailored blazer-style design featured long sleeves and lapels, with a single-button closure at the waist. Her black high-heeled shoes with a gold YSL logo and had gold ankle straps. Her bare, long legs and the rhythmic clacking of her heels turned heads as she walked. Her expression was unreadable, but her confidence radiated.

Isabella stepped forward, acknowledging the applause with a nod. Host continued, "Park Isabella, our new CEO, brings a wealth of vision. She is committed to innovation, growth, and excellence. And now she's going to encourage you all."

Taehyung sat in the front row, their expressions unreadable. Taehyung's gaze remained fixed on Isabella. Jimin, the silent investor, sat beside Taehyung. His eyes darted between Isabella and Taehyung, sensing the tension.

Isabella's gaze swept the room, and for a fleeting second, her eyes met Taehyung's. His heart skipped a beat. She was beautiful, formidable, and utterly unaware of his real identity. Taehyung's fingers tightened around the armrest. He'd never expected to feel this way about an enemy. But he couldn't tear his eyes away from her.

The host stepped aside, allowing Isabella to address the audience. Her voice was cool, measured. "Thank you, Host. Good morning, everyone! It's an honor to lead Park Industries. I've spent the past day getting to know our incredible team, and I'm genuinely impressed by the talent, dedication, and passion I've seen. As we embark on this journey together, I want to emphasize that our success lies in collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision. Our company has a rich history, and I'm committed to building on that legacy."

As Isabella continued her speech, outlining her vision for the company. Her words were calculated, revealing nothing personal. The employees listened, torn between loyalty to the old regime and curiosity about their new leader. Where as Taehyung was focused on her, listening each and every words.

As the applause swelled, Taehyung's eyes remained on Isabella. She was a puzzle—a formidable adversary who had no idea of his identity or the game he was playing.

Jimin nudged him. "She's good."

Taehyung tore his gaze away. "Too good."

"Our legacy is one of resilience and innovation. Together, we'll continue that legacy. So, let's work together, dream big, and achieve remarkable things. Thank you for the warm welcome, and I look forward to making great strides alongside each of you!" She continued and paused for a second.

Isabella's gaze shifted to Taehyung and Jimin. "Thank you, Mr. Kim Taehyung, for believing in park industries And to our esteemed investor, Jimin, thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we'll redefine success."

Taehyung nodded in response and Jimin inclined his head, hiding his knowing smile. But actually, he was enjoying the magnetic pull between her and Taehyung.

Isabella's eyes flickered toward Taehyung once more, and he vowed to unravel the mystery behind her cold facade. But for now, they were bound by duty—to their companies, their families, and the unspoken tension that hung in the air.
