Synopsis

CEO! That’s Me Without Makeup! ~The President Likes the Bare Face of the Lowly Secretary~ Chapter 31 has been released. When the cosmetics giant's pristine facade cracks under the weight of petty office politics, it's Hanako Nishimatsu who takes the hit – relegated to menial tasks amidst a sea of supermodel secretaries. But beneath her unassuming demeanor lies a steely resolve, and despite the daily barrage of condescension from their enigmatic CEO, Shūji Yotsuya, Hanako toils away with quiet determination. Her days blend together in a haze of drudgery until the fateful moment when Mr. Yotsuya locks eyes with her in all her unwashed, makeup-free glory – leaving him smitten and oblivious to the fact that this radiant stranger shares an uncanny resemblance to the harried secretary he'd grown accustomed to dismissing. As their entwined lives careen wildly off course, secrets multiply like autumn leaves, casting long shadows across the once-pristine halls of corporate power. Amidst this whirlwind of emotions, only one thing remains certain: two people bound by circumstance will collide headlong, each unaware of the seismic impact about to shatter the glass ceiling between them. The fragile threads connecting these star-crossed souls are set to unravel in spectacular fashion, forever altering not just their own destinies but the very fabric of their professional existence. With hidden agendas colliding in perfect harmony, Hanako and Shūji stumble toward destiny along an unpredictable trajectory riddled with mutual misunderstandings and jagged emotion. Working itself to the breaking point, the carefully constructed bulwark separating private life from public duty can no longer contain the volcano brewing beneath its elegant surface, foreshadowing a tumultuous dance among petty power struggles, strangled loyalty, and confounded purpose.
