"Did I not make myself clear, or must I spell out every single word for you, Miss Kim?" Karina snapped, her voice sharp with impatience. She fought to keep her composure, unwilling to appear openly rude-especially not in front of the illustrious Winter Kim.

"I heard you perfectly," Winter responded, her tone effortlessly calm yet laced with a quiet amusement that made Karina's irritation flare. "But I can't simply back down from this. Is it my fault that you caught my attention?" Her words carried a teasing lilt, a stark contrast to the ice-cold demeanor she was infamous for.

The woman was an intricate puzzle, a paradox of frost and fire, veiled in an air of indifference that bordered on maddening. And to Karina, she was utterly insufferable.
