Dale Tuazon grew up believing that he was fat and ugly, hindi niya magawang harapin ang kanyang sarili sa salamin nang hindi iniisip na siya ay mataba at pangit. He struggled to eat, fearing that even a small amount of food would contribute to his weight gain. Selecting the right size of clothes was a challenge for him as he constantly thought he was oversized. He was bullied and developed insecurities as he grew older. He believed in the existence of "pretty privilege" and was consistently belittled by those around him for not fitting the conventional standards of attractiveness. However, Dale's miserable life took a turn when he started working as a secretary for Logan Xantheus Evander, his drop-dead gorgeous boss who always made his heart race. For unknown reasons, that man changed everything Dale had believed while growing up. Logan altered his perspective on everything. But Dale knew that it wasn't right to feel anything and that he didn't have the right to feel anything for Logan because he wasn't deserving of a Logan Xantheus Evander; he was too low for an Evander.

This is a bl story, and if you're not a fan of fast-paced romances, this might not be for you. You can skip this story, and read the other series. Don't worry, even if you skip this, it won't affect the other series because each one has its own story. Honestly, I wrote this under pressure, which is why the story unfolds so quickly. I'm not keen on rewriting or deleting this because ONC actually motivated me to keep writing. note: please bear with any grammatical or typographical errors. i will revise it soon. ࣪ ִֶָ☾. 06.22.24 - 09.08.24
