The Billioners and Their Secrets

Episode 8

The city was waking up under a warm morning sun, casting a golden glow on the impressive structure of Jeon Corporation's headquarters, known as the Citadel. The towering building, with its sleek glass facade and modern architecture, stood as a testament to power and ambition in the corporate world. Y/N stood before it, feeling a mix of trepidation and excitement. Today marked her first day at Jeon Corporation, and she was determined to make an impact.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped through the revolving doors, feeling a rush of adrenaline. Dressed in a fitted blazer and pencil skirt, she looked both professional and stunning, the ensemble enhancing her figure while maintaining an air of sophistication. Her hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders, and her makeup was subtle yet striking, highlighting her features.

As Y/N entered the bustling lobby, she noticed the atmosphere shift. Employees stopped mid-conversation, their gazes drawn to her. The lobby buzzed with energy, but suddenly it felt as if time paused for a moment, all eyes on the new arrival. Whispers began to circulate among a group of women nearby.

"Is that her? The one who fell into the CEO's arms?" one woman sneered, her voice laced with condescension. "I can't believe they actually hired her."

"Seriously! What does she have that we don't?" another chimed in, her tone dripping with jealousy.

Y/N's heart raced as she overheard their comments. She felt a familiar sting of insecurity, but she refused to let it show. Instead, she squared her shoulders and turned to face them, a confident smile creeping onto her lips. "Yes, I'm the one who fell into his arms. Are you all just jealous because you didn't get the chance?" she shot back, her voice steady and laced with a playful edge.

The women's expressions changed from mockery to shock, their eyes widening in surprise. The laughter that once filled the air evaporated, leaving behind an awkward silence. Y/N took a moment to relish the victory before turning back to the elevator, her pulse quickening with exhilaration.

When the elevator dinged, she stepped into a vibrant office space filled with the hum of productivity. Y/N took a moment to absorb her surroundings—the glass-walled conference rooms, the lively chatter, and the organized chaos that epitomized corporate life. She walked toward her designated area, and as she approached, she saw Stella waiting for her, a bright smile lighting up her face.

"Welcome to Jeon Corporation! I'm so glad to have you here as my second secretary," Stella greeted her warmly, her enthusiasm infectious.

"Thank you, Sunbae! I'm excited to be here," Y/N replied, bowing her head slightly in respect. Her nervousness began to melt away as she felt Stella's genuine warmth.

"Just call me Stella," she said with a wave of her hand, dismissing the formality. "We're all friends here. Let me introduce you to the team. We're the Corporate Communication and Public Relations Team, responsible for managing our company's image, communicating with stakeholders, and crafting press releases. Everyone here is talented, and I know you'll fit right in. Just remember, it's okay to ask questions; we're all here to support each other."

As they walked through the office, Y/N took in the lively atmosphere—the sound of keyboards clicking, phones ringing, and laughter echoing through the halls. She felt a spark of determination ignite within her. She was ready to prove herself and show that she belonged in this fast-paced world.

Stella brought Y/N to a large conference room, where the rest of the team was gathered. "Everyone, this is Y/N, our new second secretary," Stella announced cheerfully. "She'll be working closely with me and supporting the team. I know you'll all make her feel welcome!"

The team looked up, and Y/N was met with warm smiles and friendly nods.

"Hi, I'm Jisoo Kim," said a confident woman with a bright smile and short hair. "I handle our social media strategies. Welcome aboard!"
