At Jeon Empire Holdings

Wonwoo: So, are you feeling better?

Lena: The water was cold.

Lena was shivering from the cold while Wonwoo sat beside her, sipping his tea.

Lena: Can’t I get any coffee?

Wonwoo: No.

Lena: Huh?

Wonwoo: From now on, you need to get used to situations like this—whether it's dealing with cold or extreme heat.

Lena: I’m not even working for him yet, and it’s not my working hours.

Wonwoo: Still.

Lena: I never thought becoming a mafia’s personal secretary would be this difficult.

Wonwoo: Oh no, you’re misunderstanding.

Lena: What?

Wonwoo: You’re his personal secretary, but not yet.

Lena: What do you mean?

Wonwoo: This was only the first stage. There are two more to go.

Lena: Are you crazy?!

Lena screamed, catching the attention of the employees around them, who stared at her in shock. Wonwoo laughed off her childish behavior.

Wonwoo: Yes. Did you really think you’d get such a high position just by jumping into a pool?

Lena: I’m screwed.

Wonwoo: No, you’re not.

Lena: I am.

Wonwoo: Jungkook is a good person. He won’t pressure you too much.

Lena: Wait... what do you mean by "he won’t pressure me too much"?

Wonwoo: He’ll be the one testing you.

Lena: Oh no.

Lena leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Wonwoo: If you want, I can give you a few tips and ideas...

As soon as Wonwoo said this, Lena sat up straight and looked at him with a big smile, making him chuckle.

Lena: Yes, please, please, please!

Wonwoo: Alright, alright. The second and third rounds will last two weeks. And Jungkook will take you out of the country.

Lena: Oh, a trip?!

Lena exclaimed excitedly, while Wonwoo smiled at her adorable, albeit naive, behavior.

Wonwoo: Yeah, a trip... to hell, maybe.

Lena: What do you mean?

Wonwoo: He’ll take you to California. There’s a farmhouse Jungkook owns, and he’ll personally evaluate if you’re suited for the position of his personal secretary.

Lena: What will I have to do there?

Wonwoo: There are plenty of activities to do there, but he’ll turn them into punishments for you.

Lena: Can you give me an example?

Wonwoo: For instance, when he was selecting his previous secretary, he had her do a dead-hang exercise for half an hour with only a five-minute break.

Lena: WHAT?! But a person should only do that for 120 seconds!

Wonwoo: I know, I know. But there’s nothing I can do. This position isn’t child’s play.
