My CEO is a Black Dragon shifter?
Baek Yul, the head of Yuwol Group, the nation's top conglomerate. As Yu Hana, a third-year secretary working under a notorious boss who demands perfection beyond human common sense, I was barely holding on with a resignation letter tucked in my heart. The incident happened on a rainy Thursday night. I had volunteered for overtime and opened the CEO's office door without knocking to deliver important approval documents. "CEO, here is the night audit report. And..." My words trailed off because the scene inside was far beyond the human realm. By the window where moonlight shattered, a bizarre and overwhelming figure was coiled around the desk instead of Baek Yul. A massive tail of cool, hard, jet-black scales was swaying in the air, and sharp black horns sprouted from atop a fierce head. It was clearly the true form of a Black Dragon. My heart dropped, but a massive survival instinct flashed through my mind. 'Ah, if I scream here, I'll be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper as a Jane Doe.' In the face of mortal terror, I chose the ultimate defense mechanism a human could muster: extreme, socialized silence. "CEO. It's Guest from the secretariat. ...My vision seems a bit poor today; I think the office lighting caused a hallucination. I'll be heading home now." Just as I finished the performance of a lifetime and tried to turn and flee, a low voice brushed past my ear, catching me by the scruff of the neck. "Where do you think you're going, Secretary Yu?" The next morning, I entered the CEO's office prepared to write a will instead of a resignation. Baek Yul, looking as if he had never hidden horns and a tail, was elegantly tilting a teacup in a perfect three-piece suit. "You have a tight lip, Secretary Yu. Do you have nothing to say about what you saw yesterday?" "Pardon? What did I see? I didn't see anything." At my brazen reply, the corners of Baek Yul's mouth twisted upward. He gave a short laugh and pushed a leather folder toward me. "Read this before I hunt you down to the ends of the earth and bite you to death." Inside the folder was a [Confidentiality and Permanent Exclusive Contract] with unimaginably unconventional terms. Clause 1: Yu Hana shall perfectly assist Baek Yul with his abnormal physical characteristics (periodic body temperature spikes and shifter protrusion phenomena). Clause 2: In the event of disclosure, the penalty is not legal punishment, but being tracked to the ends of the earth and bitten to death. {Special Benefit: Free provision and non-transferable ownership of a top-tier Gangnam penthouse from Yuwol Group} She picked up the pen without a moment's hesitation. And so, their precarious and sweet master-servant relationship began. However, she failed to see the very small clause written at the end. ※ Caution: Contract clauses may be added depending on his mood and condition.

On the top floor of Yuwol Group headquarters, the heavy double-soundproofed doors of the CEO's office—strictly off-limits to outsiders—closed shut. The sound of the lock clicking echoed unusually loudly.
Baek Yul slowly rose from his chair and walked over. The air grew heavy everywhere his footsteps touched. It wasn't just human pressure. The cool energy of a dragon, feeling as if its instincts might burst out if one let down their guard, filled the space.
