A Note From Kutemouse: FYI, I am editing this novel part by part, and have combined some parts with others in order to make the story run more smoothly. So far I've only edited this part and the prologue, so I apologize if other parts repeat scenes or don't quite make sense. Once everything is edited it will make much more sense. Thank you for your patience.

I stepped out into the airport, thoroughly relaxed from my comfortable flight. I had no luggage besides my carry-on since all of my belongings had been sent ahead of time, so I looked around for the ride that I was told would meet me.

A sharply-dressed young man held a sign with my name on it. His gaze snapped towards me as I approached him. "Miss Kwak?"

"Yes, that's me."

He bowed then extended his hand towards me

He bowed then extended his hand towards me. "I'm Choi Soobin. I'll be your escort today."

I firmly took his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you."

He turned and led the way outside the airport, sunshine and a light breeze briefly kissing my face before we came upon the sleek, black company car waiting for us. Soobin opened my door for me, ever the perfect gentleman. "Thank you," I murmured as he closed my door.

As soon as he slid into the seat next to mine, the driver pulled away from the curb and started towards our destination. "Apologies, Miss Kwak," Soobin said nervously. "But Mr. Kim has asked that you head directly to Bangtan Enterprises rather than your apartment. He wants to begin instructing you in your duties right away. That's not a problem, is it?"

"Not at all," I replied, giving him a bright smile. Wow, what a hardass. I can't even settle in before he puts me to work? Damn.

Soobin clicked open his briefcase and handed me a state-of-the-art tablet. "Here is your work tablet. Make sure you bring it wherever you go. You'll find you're already signed into everything with your work email, and I'll add you to Mr. Kim's calendar so you can track his appointments."

With a few clicks of Soobin's stylus, my tablet's calendar flooded with colored squares blocking out nearly every hour of the day. My eyes widened at the schedule that practically screamed workaholic. "Does he ever take a vacation?" I joked.

Soobin cracked a small smile. "I wish he would. Might do him some good. I know it looks overwhelming, but trust me, you'll find this job much more manageable than you think. He's a good boss."

"Is he now?" I murmured, noticing a block with my name on it. "This is the time he's set aside for me?"

"Yes, then he has a meeting right after during which he'll expect us to take notes."

"Alright, and what about the meeting after that one?" I asked, pointing to a bright red square.

Soobin shook his head, his black locks falling adorably into his eyes. "Meetings that color are confidential, just between Mr. Kim and whoever he's seeing. Usually they're a high-end client, board member, or shareholder. Sometimes even a government official. You know, that sort of thing."
