The Calm Before the Empire

"I wasn't hired because I smiled. I was hired because I was smarter than him-and he hated that."

Jeon Jungkook, the cold, calculating CEO of J-Tech-South Korea's most powerful tech empire-has fired every secretary he's ever had. Perfection is his standard. Control is his nature. He doesn't believe in second chances. Or emotions.

Until one day, one of his hyungs hands him a file.
And with it, comes Kim Y/N-a woman with no flaws to exploit, no ambition to chase, and no interest in obeying him.

She doesn't flinch under pressure. She doesn't beg for approval.
She plays chess in a world full of checkers. And Jungkook?
He just met his match.

A battle of minds. A war of silence.
And a love story no one saw coming.
