# A Deal with the Devil

Guri spent the entire night tossing and turning in bed. Personal assistant to Mr. Jeon Jungkook? The offer sounded unreal. Why her? Why not someone more experienced?

Her heart told her to refuse. He was too intimidating, too powerful, and too dangerously attractive. But her mind reminded her of the opportunity—working with the CEO of Jeon Enterprises could change her life.

By morning, her decision was made.

At Jeon Enterprises Headquarters

Guri stood nervously outside Mr. Jeon’s office. The entire building was intimidating—glass walls, sleek interiors, and employees moving efficiently like clockwork.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the heavy oak door.

“Come in.”

His voice was deep and commanding. She pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Mr. Jeon sat behind a massive desk, dressed in a crisp black suit. His sharp eyes flickered to her, and the corner of his lips curled slightly—**as

Guri stood in front of Jeon Enterprises’ towering skyscraper, her heart racing. She had barely slept, her mind filled with thoughts of him—his deep voice, intense gaze, and that cryptic text message.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped inside.

The lobby was grand, filled with busy employees who barely spared her a glance. She approached the reception, but before she could speak, a woman in a sleek black dress approached her.

“You must be Miss Guri,” she said, offering a polite yet forced smile. “I’m Mina, Mr. Jeon’s secretary. Follow me.”

Guri nodded and followed Mina to the executive floor. The moment they reached Mr. Jeon’s office, Mina turned to her.

“Just a warning,” she said, lowering her voice. “Mr. Jeon doesn’t tolerate mistakes. Do your job well, and don’t get too comfortable.”

Before Guri could respond, the large door swung open.

“Come in, Guri,” Mr. Jeon’s deep voice commanded.

Her stomach fluttered as she stepped inside.

The ride back to the office was silent, yet thick with tension. Guri stole a glance at Mr. Jeon, who sat beside her, his expression unreadable.

Lunch with him had left her unsettled—not because of the luxurious setting, but because of the way he watched her. Like he wanted to devour her.

As the car stopped in front of Jeon Enterprises, he finally spoke.

“From now on,” his deep voice filled the space, “you’ll have lunch with me every day.”

Guri blinked. “Excuse me?”

“I don’t like repeating myself.” His sharp eyes met hers.

Her heart raced. “But why?”

His lips curved into a smirk. “Because I said so.”

Her breath caught. What was she supposed to do with this man?

Back at the Office

Guri sat at her desk, trying to focus. But it was impossible when her boss was just behind the glass wall, his presence overwhelming even when she couldn’t see him.

A soft knock broke her thoughts.

“Miss Guri?” Mina, Mr. Jeon’s secretary, stood there with an all-too-fake smile.

“Yes?”

Mina stepped closer, crossing her arms. “I don’t know what game you’re playing, but don’t get too comfortable. You’re just a temporary amusement for him.”

Guri’s stomach twisted. “Excuse

The car ride was silent, but the tension inside was undeniable. Mr. Jeon’s eyes flickered toward Guri every few moments, but she was lost in her own world, gazing out the window.

The city lights blurred as the car moved through the streets. A sudden gust of wind brushed through the slightly open window, making her hair dance. Guri’s eyes softened as she spotted a small flower shop on the sidewalk. A little girl stood in front of it, holding a tiny bouquet, her face lighting up with pure joy.

Guri smiled unknowingly, a warmth spreading in her chest.

Mr. Jeon, who had been watching her instead of the road, tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

“You like flowers?” His voice was deep, smooth, yet laced with curiosity.

Guri turned to him,
