Entrusting work to Kang In-ho was a publicly known company life tip.

In-ho was someone who helped others and found fulfillment in it.

To put it nicely, he was a good person, and to put it badly, he had a pushover personality.

He was one of the people who had been in this organization the longest, along with the team leader, Mina,

His extensive experience with bearing the brunt of the work meant he could handle multiple roles, making him invaluable.

There was no one else in the office as capable as he was.

So much so that one of the unwritten rules of company life was, “If you ask Kang In-ho, he’ll solve almost anything.”

The employees who had initially asked him hesitantly gradually came to think of his help as something that was natural as time went by.

They could reduce their work and look at his handsome face.

For them, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

Thanks to that, their work was always easy, and In-ho, who was always short on time, spent more time at the company.

There weren’t many people who cared about this absurd phenomenon.

The employees who passed their work onto him didn’t care, and he, who received the work, was indifferent.

The company’s work was going along reasonably well, after all.

But there was one person who did care, and that was the team leader, Lee Mina.

She didn’t like the employees who approached him, whether publicly or privately.

The former was because she was disgusted by the laziness of the employees who were taking advantage of him, and the latter was because she thought their actions of trying to steal her sanctuary were arrogant.

However, she was a clever person.

She knew how to see the big picture.

He wasn’t interested in the women in the office.

He always kept an appropriate distance when talking to them and didn’t pay them any more attention than necessary.

So, Mina could afford to be relaxed.

Rather, the more work he received, the more time he would spend with her.

She thought of it as a strategy of giving flesh to get bone.

But that was only until last week.

If he had decided to leave because he was dissatisfied with the company, she had resolved to eliminate the cause.

That’s how she started normalizing work.

To punish the damn bitches who were leeching off of him like vermin.

She vowed to openly humiliate them and make them experience the same hardships he had endured.

To her, any words that seemed to blame In-ho were like pouring oil on a fire and jumping into the flames with a bundle of straw on her back.

Young-ji, who had subtly blamed In-ho, met Mina’s murky eyes.

Her eyes were dark, like an abyss, with no end in sight.

*Gulp*

Without realizing it, she swallowed nervously.

“Don’t ever, say that kind of thing again.”

Mina, who had come closer, said to her.

“Y-yes! Yes!”

Mina left the trembling Young-ji and looked around.

Everyone was looking at their monitors and working hard.

‘Yeah, that’s how it should have been from the start.’

“I’ll make it clear this time. Those of you who don’t earn your pay. I’ll make you work so hard that you’d be better off quitting the company. Do as you see fit.”

It was the moment when the tyrant of the office was born.
