1.2
Sohyang Palace, which was located in Shinsa Dong, was a personal image consulting agency. It was a famous place for helping many supermodels and national beauty pageants win. Here, the customers received a full body treatment. The specialists took time to transform them from head to toe into a better version of themselves. A lot of their customers came from referrals sent by many of the popular hair salons in the area.
The first floor was the hair salon, while the second floor was the wardrobe section. The third floor was the skincare shop, but it was only available to the VVIP customers. The client selection process was rather strict, and only those who the specialists believed could benefit greatly were accepted to the third floor. Anyone who went through the full course of this agency always came out looking gorgeous.
Jin Sungwoo used to be a famous fashion designer in the past. After refusing all the offers from the high end brand companies, he put everything he had into this place, Sohyang Palace. As the owner, he had the freedom to choose his own customers, and he was known to be very picky.
Because it was so hard to get into this agency’s program, its popularity was through the roof. Countless girls and women begged to become his customer, but Sungwoo seemed to have his own rules in selecting his clients. And so far, he has never failed in transforming a woman into the best version of herself.
Sungwoo’s office was spacious. A luxurious sofa and table adorned the center and behind them, there was a large desk facing away from a one-piece giant window. The view of the city was something to behold.
Sungwoo threw Sukyung on the sofa like she was a bag of groceries, and began to go through his mail. After skimming through them, he threw all of them out.
As he took his jacket off, he studied Sukyung again. Her knee-length skirt had ridden up, exposing her chubby thighs and calves. Her blouse and skirt were obviously made of cheap material. They were also out of fashion.
Her hair was too long and unstyled. Sungwoo couldn’t figure out when, if ever, it might have had a trim. It was in a braid, but because of the escaped stray hair, it looked messy and ugly.
This was not the type of woman that frequented Sohyang Palace. There was no way she could afford this place. The people who came here wore at the very least a Cartier watch or a Tiffany’s necklace. Most women wore these things to show off, but it also partly meant that they were rich. After all, the membership fee at the Sohyang Palace was not cheap.
So why did this woman come here? His biggest job was always to figure out what his customers wanted. People tended to lie often, and his mission was to find out the truth. This was the only way to find the real style his customer truly desired.
“But I think this woman needs more than just a change in style.”
With a smirk, Sungwoo turned around and headed towards his desk. He decided to do some paperwork until this woman woke up.

Jaewon sat across from Sukyung and said to her bluntly.
