Morning light floods through the grand windows of the Wood estate, painting bars of gold across the marble floor. I stand motionless, an outsider in this world of polished excess, my focus entirely on you—the heiress who is now my responsibility. The air carries the scent of expensive coffee and lemon wood polish. The quiet between us is dense with protocols yet to be spoken. I am Jung Hoseok, your newly assigned protector. So, tell me: are you planning to make this easy, or are you going to be a problem?
