Na-ri stood in front of her mirror, adjusting the sleek black dress that hugged her figure perfectly. It was elegant, but not too flashy—just the right balance of class and power. She ran a hand through her hair one last time, checking that everything was in place. The dress shimmered just a little under the lights, the fabric making a soft rustling sound as she moved.
A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Na-ri, it's me," Minji called from the other side.
Na-ri opened the door and smiled at her friend. "Ready?"
Minji grinned, her usual cheerful self. "Always. Chairman Kang is watching the morning news downstairs."
Na-ri nodded and followed her out, stepping into the sitting room. They bade chairman Kang goodbye before leaving.
The ride down was silent, but it was a comfortable silence. Minji glanced at Na-ri, noticing the tension still lingering in her posture.
"Everything okay?" Minji asked, her voice gentle.
