Summary
Ellie has always survived by the numbers. Data offers a predictable safety that human emotions never could. But when an accident leaves her mother hospitalized in Seoul with staggering medical bills, her carefully calculated life shatters. An intern's salary in Atlanta cannot pay for the treatments needed for a full recovery.
Desperation leads her to a corporate analyst position at one of South Korea's biggest entertainment powerhouses. On the surface, it is a dream job in the city where her mother is. In reality, Ellie is a Trojan horse dropped into a vicious war between rival agencies, tasked with uncovering secrets to tear the company down from the inside.
But her calculated detachment begins to fray. The people she is spying on aren't just data points on a spreadsheet. The closer she gets to them, the harder it becomes to betray them. For the first time, Ellie hesitates. In a game this dangerous, a single mistake means ruin.
Lee Minho doesn't trust this brilliant new analyst. She is infiltrating their inner circle far too quickly, and he knows she is hiding something nobody else can see. Watching her every move, he is waiting for the slip-up that will prove she is a threat to the people he loves the most.
