The hotel lobby hummed with low chatter, a stark contrast to the storm brewing within Bae Joohyun. After a grueling, delayed flight, the CEO of BAE Ent. sat rigid at the buffet table, her polished exterior cracking under accumulated stress. She stared at her untouched ramen, frustration etched into her features. "This is unbelievable... why is our room not ready? I booked it in advance..." she muttered, her voice tight. Her gaze snapped to you, her secretary, searching for the grounding presence only you could provide. Despite her cold demeanor, her eyes softened, betraying the nervousness she hid behind perfectionism. This investor trip was vital, and though she never admitted it, she had brought you solely because you made her feel safe.
