Chapter 139: Noona, You Said You’d Be My Personal Secretary.
“I—I said that?”
Heo Da-young couldn’t believe the words that had just come out of Jae-ho’s mouth.
Work with Jae-ho? Me? Why?
Why would she throw away such a stable job?
Even if the people there were trash and the workload was hellish, the money was good. Among those with her seniority doing the same kind of work, she was probably the highest earner. At the very least, her overtime pay and bonuses were paid out properly. It was a solid mid-sized company, after all.
“I really said I’d quit and work with you?”
“Yes. You even called your department manager yesterday.”
“I—I did?”
“I have a recording. Want to hear it?”
A recording? Every piece of news was more unbelievable than the last. With trembling hands, Heo Da-young pressed the play button on the recorded audio.
—Hey, you piece of shit Manager Park!
The moment her drunken voice rang out...
“Agh!”
Startled, Da-young slammed the stop button. It wasn’t because her drunken voice sounded pathetic, nor was it because she was afraid of hearing the insults.
I remember everything now.
She had remembered signing the contract, but only now did the memory of doing this come flooding back.
‘You motherfucker! Manager Park, you bottom-feeding insect! Do you have any idea how hard you’ve made my life? Not only do you dump all your work on me, but you only look out for the section chief because he’s in your line. You don’t give a damn about me even though I work like a maniac, and then what? “It’d be nice to have a woman like Assistant Manager Heo around”? That’s sexual harassment, you bastard! And stop trying to touch my ass on the sly! I thought about reporting you so many times, but I held it in!’
—Assistant Manager Heo, have you lost your mind?
‘I have! I’ve gone crazy because of your power-tripping!’
—I think you’ve had too much to drink. Stop this and go home. How are you going to look me in the eye tomorrow?
‘I’m not! I’m quitting! I got scouted by another place, you prick! You’ve never had that happen to you, have you? Well, I have! I’m leaving for another company~! So just say your goodbyes. Got it?’
Ah. Why did she do that?
She clutched her head. She hated her drunken self, and she hated herself for making that call.
“You should have stopped me...”
“I did try to stop you, Noona. I told you several times that you’d regret it.”
He certainly had. Even when he had grabbed her hand with those thick fingers of his, she had shaken him off. Where did that strength come from? Do people gain superhuman power the moment they decide to resign?
“Sigh, what am I going to do about the handover?”
She’d have to see his face for at least another week. This was driving her crazy.
Watching her, Jae-ho narrowed his eyes and asked, “Looking at you, it seems you’ve forgotten the terms of the contract too, right?”
“...”
“I knew it. You forgot everything.”
“Fine, I did. How much did I say I’d get paid?”
No matter how drunk she was, she wouldn’t have agreed to work for free.
“You said you make about 4 million won after taxes at your current job.”
“Yeah.”
So she’d told him that much.
“So I told you I’d give you this much.”
Jae-ho held up three fingers.
“Don’t tell me you said you’d give me 3 million?”
Was she really tempted by that?
“No. Do I look like such a stingy person to you?”
“Then what?”
“I said I’d give you three times that.”
“Th—Three times?”
“Yes. That’s why I held up three fingers.”
Her head spun. 4 million after everything was deducted... three times that was 12 million?
“My monthly salary is twelve million won?”
“That’s right. Twelve million after taxes. You’re going to be my personal secretary from now on; you have to make at least ten million.”
“Oh my god...”
Her jaw dropped and stayed there.
“How is it? Makes the career change worth it, doesn’t it?”
“Is... is it okay to give me that much?”
“I’ve listened to all your stories about work while giving you PT. Stories about the contracts you closed, how you analyzed financial statements...”
To be honest, he was going to have to manage a lot of money now. But he couldn’t do it all himself. There was a limit to what he could handle, and he needed help. Specifically, he was terrible at handling money and crunching numbers.
“I need you as my personal secretary to manage my schedule, and as an office administrator to manage our funds and attract clients.”
“...Just how much have you grown your business?”
“Well, I think the numbers would make your jaw hit the floor.”
“That much?”
Jae-ho nodded vigorously.
“Later, when you see the location of the office I’m setting up, you’ll be shocked.”
At first, she hadn’t believed him. But she found herself being swayed by his confident words. It was probably that same confidence that had led her to sign the contract with him in the first place.
“What exactly is my job?”
“It’s simple. You’ll be my personal secretary and manage the money and the clients. Of course, I plan to create a professional accounting and settlement team eventually, but until that team is formed, I’m going to need your help.”
“...Alright. But I should get up now.”
Da-young began gathering her clothes. As if testifying to the intensity of the previous night, her clothes were scattered all over the room. It was a bit embarrassing to discuss business while completely naked.
“Where are you going?”
“I have to go to work. After the scene I caused yesterday, they’re probably all out for my blood. I have to go and start the handover if I’m going to work with you, Jae-ho.”
“Noona, it’s already past 10:00 AM. Even if you leave now, you won’t get there until 11:00...”
Jae-ho grabbed her wrist.
“Since things have already turned out like this, don’t go today. Just stay with me.”
“You really...”
“It’s been a while since you’ve been here, Noona. You should enjoy it while you’re sober. You haven’t fully recovered from your fatigue yet, have you?”
Jae-ho kissed the nape of her neck.
“We should do some exercise for fatigue recovery.”
A kiss? That’s not exercise...
Something felt strange. He said it was exercise, but this wasn’t exercise... it was nothing short of an amorous advance. And yet, why did she keep...
‘That’s right. To recover from fatigue, you have to exercise.’
Was her body embracing Jae-ho? In her fading consciousness, she felt that this deep kiss with Jae-ho was a natural part of the process.
“You’re going to give me a proper workout, right?”
“Of course. Even if you tell me to stop, I’m going to keep going.”
Jae-ho’s lips moved from her neck down her body.
“Ah, I love it... right there...”
When he began to suckle her breasts, Heo Da-young let out a moan despite herself. The eyes that used to meticulously check reports every day were now fixed on Jae-ho’s erect cock. The sharp voice she used to negotiate with clients was now letting out cries of pleasure. The fingers that used to do nothing but tap on a computer keyboard began to caress Jae-ho’s muscles.
As she joined her body with Jae-ho’s, the worries about her company work began to fade from her mind.
This was it. The exercise that made her forget all her fatigue and stress.
“Haa, haa... Jae-ho, kiss me.”
The two shared a deep kiss as their bodies pressed together on the bed once more. That day, Jae-ho’s cock was insanely large, thick, and hot.
“Jae-ho! I—I think I’m going to come!!!”
Da-young’s fingernails left bright red marks on Jae-ho’s back.
And the next day, Heo Da-young threw her resignation letter at the department manager and quit.

“This is it. The best location among the ones you wanted, Jae-ho.”
I arrived at the building Yeong-eun had introduced to me. It was a prime site in Gangnam with the best view of the Han River.
“It happened to become available by chance... but I think it might be a bit expensive to use as a gym or a massage shop.”
That was Yeong-eun’s assessment. Just as she said, the building itself was located on a prime piece of real estate.
“It’s rare for such a large space to be vacant in a building like this.”
“I suppose so.”
“It would probably be difficult to find another place that meets your criteria, Jae-ho. Of course, if you want, I could clear out some space in our Jeil Tower.”
“No, it’s fine. I don’t want to be indebted to that extent.”
If I’ve received investment, I should stand on my own two feet. If I rely on private help from Jeil, our relationship will become complicated in the future. I didn’t want a hierarchical relationship to form.
I took the elevator up. It was the 32nd floor of a building with a panoramic view of Seoul and the Han River. In particular, the section overlooking the river was made of floor-to-ceiling glass, so one could see the scenery of Seoul even while running on a treadmill.
“Wow, this place is incredible.”
It was a top-tier property.
“The rent must be quite expensive?”
“It’ll cost you hundreds of millions.”
That meant I had to earn even more than that. I was confident. A plan for how to configure this space of over 800 pyeong was already forming in my head.
800 pyeong isn’t small.
Moreover, with the system’s abilities, I could make the interior of the gym even larger. It was definitely worth the price. Without a doubt.
“But are you really confident? I know your massages are good, but...”
“You’re saying you don’t know if it’ll be effective enough to justify this.”
“Right.”
“It’s fine. This main branch of the Women-Only Gym will be the face of the business. The face of the services I’ll be showcasing from now on. It’s a location where everything—ultra-luxury, high-end, and differentiation—is possible.”
I liked this place.
“I’ll take it.”
And on the day I stamped the contract:
[Designating the ultra-luxury tower gym on the 32nd floor in Gangnam as the Main Branch.]
[You have established your Main Branch in a supreme location that no one dares to challenge.]
[The level of the Medic Care Place increases.]
[Additional abilities for the unlocked rooms are manifested.]
[The level of the Gym increases.]
[The level of the Trainer increases.]
[Congratulations. You have situated the gym in a marvelous location.]
[As an achievement reward, the levels of currently registered members increase.]
[You can now designate VIP members.]
The message windows scrolled up endlessly.
