The Man Behind the Door
Everyone in the company feared Evan Lee.
As the young CEO of Lee Group, he was known for his cold demeanor, impossible standards, and expressionless face. He rarely smiled, never tolerated mistakes, and made even the bravest employees nervous.Sera Han knew this better than anyone.
After all, she was the employee whose reports were always returned, whose work was constantly criticized, and whose patience was tested every single day by the man she secretly called the CEO from hell.
So after one particularly exhausting day, a few drinks and one accidental phone call led to the biggest mistake of her life.
Instead of calling her best friend, Sera ended up venting to Evan himself.She complained.She argued.She threatened to throw a chair at him.And somehow, that was the moment everything began.
As the distance between CEO and employee slowly fades, Sera starts discovering the man hidden beneath Evan's cold exterior-the man who remembers the smallest details, carries dreams he was forced to abandon, and quietly bears the weight of a life he never chose.
But when family expectations, an unwanted marriage arrangement, and the ghosts of forgotten dreams threaten to pull them apart, both must decide whether love is worth fighting for.
Because sometimes the person everyone sees is not who they truly are.And sometimes, the most beautiful part of someone is the person waiting behind the door.
A slow-burn office romance filled with longing, healing, hidden feelings, late-night conversations, and two people helping each other find their way home.
