Mark Keifer Watson and Jasper Jean Mariano have been enemies since childhood.
Unfortunately, their parents never got the memo.
While Jay and Keifer spent years arguing, competing, and driving each other insane, their families spent those same years planning their future wedding.
Jay wanted freedom.
Keifer wanted peace.
Neither got what they wanted.
At twenty-five, Jay finds herself working as a secretary at Watson Group, determined to prove she can succeed without her family's name.
The problem?
Her boss is Mark Keifer Watson.
Twenty-eight years old. CEO. Arrogatingly handsome. Completely unbearable.
At least according to Jay.
According to Keifer, Jay is a walking disaster who somehow turns every workday into a headache.
She steals his phone.
He gives her extra work.
She argues.
He argues harder.
She threatens to quit.
He tells her to leave.
Neither means it.
When their parents catch them in a suspicious situation and immediately start planning a wedding, things only become more chaotic.
Now forced to work together while pretending they don't care about each other, Jay and Keifer find themselves caught between old rivalries, family expectations, and feelings neither of them wants to admit.
Because sometimes the person who knows exactly how to annoy you...
Is also the person who knows your heart best.
And sometimes, the secretary you should fire...
Becomes the one person you can never let go.
