The blue light that dully shone from the screen only heightened his strained features.

Competing for his final position was so challenging.

He had to put on so much work in this.

No more free time for days.

Then for weeks.

Of course, some parts of it were still pleasant.

He could obviously not complain about going to high class clubs, or attending five-starred restaurants, traveling abroad to numerous, beautiful countries, or flying first class in the best jets and meeting none but influential V.I.P.'s...

Yet, all in all, those all ended being dull and mainly were nothing compared to the simple but utmost delight of just spending some time with the only one he loved.

Don't misunderstand him - he was willing to make all the necessary efforts in order to finally achieve his long-awaited professional goal, and that was exactly why he was accumulating so many work days and weeks – to make sure he was so ahead of his tasks in his schedule that he could get free for a couple of days, away from all this stress and turmoil, in order to take his angel on some romantic trip together.

Unfortunately, his zealous plan had the totally reversed effect.

Paradoxically enough, the harder he worked, the tighter he got locked into his tasks.

Of course there were the sincere collaborators, those who could attest to his reliability, and were thus eager to count on his skills and successful abilities.

They trusted him with critical projects in order to be showered along him with all the blessings and rewards he got from accomplishing prowess in his work.

They were only too happy to have someone that brilliant and that bright lead their plan to fruitful completion in their stead.

Thus, out of an initially good-willed crave for victory, whether from his part or from others', his work load increased gradually more and more.

Yet there were also the treacherous moves.

The ones that his father resorted to.

First, even though Hae Wong was aware there were more hidden moves to come, he was misled into thinking his father just needed him to reach his new position earlier or faster than initially intended.

Yet, when his future position had been guaranteed and the files and projects had however kept on piling up on his desk at an insane rhythm, he soon realized one thing.

This wasn't about reaching a professional target any more.

He even discovered that some items had even been arbitrarily re-routed to his office to ensure him an extremely packed schedule.
