The glass doors of Han Group Corporation loomed ahead, their polished surface reflecting the towering skyline behind her. Mira Jeong adjusted the strap of her simple bag and inhaled slowly, steadying her pulse. This wasn't just a job interview.It was her first step toward revenge.
She stepped into the marble-floored lobby, her heels clicking with quiet precision. Her crisp white blouse and beige skirt gave her a professional, almost innocent aura. But beneath that calm surface, she was anything but.
"Name?" the receptionist asked.
"Mira Jeong. I have an interview scheduled."
A short call later, she was escorted to the 32nd floor—Executive HR, they said.
The door opened into a sleek room. Two people sat at a glass table.The man turned first: sharp jawline, dark eyes, polite smile. He stood.
"You're early," he said, his voice soft and warm. "I'm Jae Min Han, Vice Director. Please, have a seat."
She nodded. "Thank you."
Beside him sat a woman with perfectly curled hair and eyes like ice. She didn't stand.
"Why are you applying for a marketing assistant job when you were a licensed doctor?" the woman asked sharply. Her name tag read Rina Han.
Mira paused, her fingers tightening around her bag strap for a fraction of a second. "Personal reasons. I needed... a change."There was a trace of something unspoken in her voice.
Rina scoffed. "You're clearly overqualified. And unfit. We don't need distractions in this department."
Mira's gaze flickered down, controlled but sharp. "I understand."
Jae Min glanced at Rina, then back at Mira. His eyes lingered, calculating something she couldn't place. "Do you still hold a valid medical license?"
"I do. But I don't plan on using it again."
He studied her quietly, thoughtful. "We'll call you if you're selected."
Mira stood, bowing politely, her back straight and deliberate. She turned to leave, but as the door swung open, Jae Min's voice stopped her.
"Wait."
She turned, heart barely skipping a beat.
"I'm hiring you," Jae Min said simply. His voice was calm but firm.
Rina straightened, her eyes narrowing. "What?"
"I want her on the team," Jae Min said, unwavering. "There's something... different about her."
Mira didn't smile. But her eyes flickered for a second, the only sign of emotion she allowed herself.
"Thank you," she said quietly.
Step one: infiltrate.Her thoughts were clear as the elevator doors closed behind her.Step two: uncover the truth.
