Sky Chandler, a powerful CEO, first captured Jules Parker's heart in high school with kindness and charisma. Jules idolizes Sky, but when their paths cross again years later in the unforgiving corporate world, the hero of Jules' past becomes a guard...
Sometimes, all it takes is a visit, a phone call, or a single heartfelt moment to make wonders. It's the willingness to take initiative for the ones we love and the power of honesty in confessions that bind relationships forever.
That night, under the expansive canopy of stars, Jules feels Sky's gentle hands covering her eyes. He guides her carefully to the poolside of the house. "Can I open my eyes already?" Jules asks, her voice brimming with curiosity and impatience.
"Just a little longer... Alright, now you can," Sky says softly.
As Jules opens her eyes, the dim glow of countless candles illuminates the darkness. The flickering flames dance with the cool night breeze, and in the center of it all, a beautifully set candlelight dinner awaits. Jules gasps, her eyes wide in surprise.

"Oh wow! Did you... did you do all this by yourself?" she asks, astonished.
Sky scratches the back of his neck sheepishly. "Nah... the housemaid helped me," he admits with a laugh. Jules chuckles, her surprise melting into warmth as Sky pulls out a small box and places it in her hands.
"What's this?" Jules asks, excitement bubbling in her voice.
Sky smiles. "Open it."
With trembling fingers, Jules lifts the lid, revealing the very trinket she had admired at the store just days ago. Her eyes light up as she looks at him in disbelief.
"This is... Sir Sky, you...!" she exclaims.
"I saw how much you loved it. I refused to buy it that day because I wanted it to be a surprise," Sky says, his voice gentle. "You can't say no to this. You must accept it," he insists, slipping it onto her hand.
Jules grins, her joy uncontainable. "It's so pretty."

After sharing a heartfelt laugh, they sit down for dinner. Sky watches Jules devour her food hungrily, a mix of amusement and admiration in his gaze.
"You didn't eat all day, did you?" he asks softly.
"Too busy, and I wasn't in the mood," Jules replies between bites.
As they finish their meal, Sky hesitates. "After dinner... shall we drink?"
Jules raises an eyebrow. "You drink now?"
"I prepared for this," Sky confesses, pulling out a bottle of whiskey. "Jim gifted it to me last time. Thought it might be fitting tonight."
Jules smirks. "It's kind of funny. Someone as composed as you trying so hard to impress me."
Sky meets her gaze, unwavering. "I don't care how I look. I care about what matters," he says, pouring the drinks and offering her a glass.
They toast, the sound of clinking glasses mingling with the night's stillness. Jules takes a sip and teases, "You can stop being so nice to me now, Sir Sky. I've already forgiven you."
Sky raises an eyebrow. "Oh? Since when?"
"Since you admitted you were jealous of me," Jules replies with a grin. "It felt... honest."
"Well, I still owe you an apology for making you cry," Sky says solemnly. Jules smirks mischievously. "And you'll pay for it in my way."
"How so?" he asks, leaning forward.
"Close your eyes," Jules says with a mischievous glint. Sky obliges, only for Jules to nudge him playfully into the pool.
"Mon! What are you doing?!" he yells, splashing as Jules bursts into laughter.
"You always make people do things your way," she teases. "It's your turn to be pushed around."
Still laughing, she steps into the water, her gaze softening. Sky is caught off guard as Jules moves closer and kisses him gently. Their playful banter gives way to an intimate moment, one that lingers long into the night.
Later, as they lie on the sofa, Sky looks at her. "Are you sure you're not upset with me anymore?"
Jules smirks. "Why ask that?"
"Well... what just happened... it felt a bit... hardcore," he says, scratching his head. Jules laughs. "I meant it, Sky. But now what?"
"I have an idea," Sky says.
"What idea?"
"I'll tell Mia... I'll break up with her," Sky replies firmly.
The next morning, Sky walks into his cabin, only to find a bouquet of roses waiting for him. Attached is a card that reads:
"You're so cute when jealous. I want you to be jealous again."
Sky's face tightens as the door opens, revealing Mia.
"You like it?" Mia asks with a hopeful smile. "It's been ages since we did something romantic." Sky forces a smile. "Thanks."

"Change that 'thanks' to 'dinner,'" Mia insists.
Sky hesitates. "But-"
"No buts," Mia interrupts. "If we spend more time together, we can understand each other better, Sky."
Outside the cabin, Jules waits nervously, hoping Sky will take the step to tell Mia the truth. Just then, a commanding voice echoes through the hallway.
"Excuse me!" All eyes turn to see a man standing tall, his aura commanding respect.
"I'd like to meet the CEO of this company-Sir Sky," the man announces. Jules spins around, her breath catching. "Mr. Charles?" she whispers.
Charles's lips curl into a knowing smile. "We meet again, little Mon," he says, his gaze piercing. Jules freezes, her heart pounding.
