Rumors spread like wildfire through Kang Enterprises.
Seo Hana wasn't just a pretty face.She was dangerous.Calculated.Smart.
And the old guard hated it.
They tried to corner her in board meetings.They tried to belittle her in corridors.
But Hana smiled through it all, her polite façade never cracking.Inside, she was already five steps ahead.
At the same time, Min-ho found himself watching her more than he admitted.
From the shadows of his office, he saw her tearing down obstacles with precision.Employees who once looked down on her now stood straighter when she passed.
He hated it.And yet... he couldn't look away.
"She's gaining allies," his assistant, Joon-ho, warned him one evening.
"Let her," Min-ho replied, sipping his whiskey."Let's see how far she dares to go."
But deep inside, something twisted.
Seo Hana was no longer the helpless girl they had rescued.She was rising.
And Min-ho couldn't decide if he wanted to crush her...
Or crown her.
