### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger, Juhyeok confronts Director Lee, leading to a swift resolution of the central misunderstanding where Juhyeok reveals he is a beta. During the tense office conversation, which involved the Director pinning him against a door, Juhyeok firmly declares his intention to not date anyone. This declaration and the Director's subsequent reaction have polarized readers. Many praise the Director for backing off and respecting Juhyeok's boundaries, viewing it as a refreshing and patient departure from typical aggressive alpha tropes. Conversely, a significant portion of readers interpret his actions as red flags, seeing his physical intimidation as inappropriate and his acceptance of the "no dating" rule as a calculated loophole. His parting words, "You better keep your promise," are seen as possessive, with readers speculating he will now attempt to win Juhyeok over without pheromones or even propose marriage to circumvent the dating ban. The chapter maintains its comedic tone, featuring a humorous side-gag about Juhyeok's "gorilla-like" sister, while leaving the Director's true intentions ambiguous as his pursuit continues.
