"hi?"
In front of them, the representative of Swing Entertainment, famous for his arrogance and sass, stood there.
멤버들
"N, hello, sir!"
The members greeted the CEO in a flustered manner. Yeo-ju also greeted him in a small voice. In fact, she had never seen the CEO before except when signing the contract, so to Yeo-ju, the CEO was just someone who seemed difficult to approach.

"Yeah, right. But why did I come here? I'm sure you're busy anyway."
"....."
The members all kept their mouths shut as if they had already guessed. It wasn't that they didn't know why the CEO was here; they knew it all too well.
승리(대표
"..It's quiet? Well, everyone knows, right? Ah! There he is, our manager."

"..huh?"
The female protagonist was startled by the representative's voice suddenly mentioning her, and she answered in an instant. She felt a sense of dread, as if she knew what would happen next. Perhaps that's why her shoulders, which seemed even narrower among the men, trembled.

"Oh my... Are you nervous? You don't look that scary. Don't be nervous and lift your head, Manager."
The representative smiled and placed his hands on both of the female protagonist's shoulders affectionately, lifting her up so that he could see her face.

"You're new, so it must be hard, right? This is your first time doing this."

"yes..."
The heroine answered cautiously in a crawling voice.
승리(대표
"Yeah. Our manager always works hard."
The CEO, who had been soothing the female protagonist with affectionate words, seemed annoyed that the female protagonist was not making eye contact with him, so he lifted the female protagonist's chin with one finger and looked them in the eye. The female protagonist felt relieved about the CEO, as he seemed to be less scary than she had thought. However, she couldn't let her guard down.

"But I know you're having a hard time, Manager-"
The representative spoke softly and raised his hand with the corners of his mouth curled.

“Still, it’s difficult to do things like this.”
The representative's face hardened and he slammed his large palm against the female protagonist's cheek. A painful, slap-like sound was heard. The female protagonist's cheek flushed red, and the moment the representative slapped her cheek, the surroundings fell silent as if they had stopped.

"...ah...."
The female protagonist, aware of the situation, covered her burning cheek with one hand. However, her cheek had already turned blue and red, and blood had pooled slightly, making it even more painful for the onlookers. The members who were watching the situation right in front of them were in an uproar.
배진영
"....!!!!"
이대휘
"Representative!!!!"
박지훈
"What are you doing..!"
윤지성
"No matter what, you're hitting the kid!!"
옹성우
"....."
The members were so shocked that they couldn't get angry at the leader, but they questioned him in a slightly sullen voice. Some of them were worried about Yeoju and asked if she was okay. However, the leader ignored them and tried to approach Yeoju again.
하성운
"Representative!!"
강다니엘
"What are you going to do now?"
승리(대표
"shut up."
The representative's eyes flashed with venom and he ordered her to shut up. Then he raised his hand to strike the female protagonist's cheek again.
"Crack-"
The representative struck again. But the person who got slapped was none other than...
김재환
"Hey, CEO! What's the solution to this by hitting me? If you're going to hit me, hit me. Don't hit the manager, who knows how hard you've worked."
It was Jaehwan. Despite his once pale cheeks turning red, Jaehwan smiled brightly and protected Yeoju until the very end.

"What..! Come out!!"
Someone grabbed the wrist of the representative who was shouting angrily and then walking back to the female lead and raising his hand high.
"Let's talk in our language. You can handle it with words, right? You're not a five-year-old, are you? Haha."
