After her work contract expires as an elevator operator, Lucinda Hernandez is already fixed to leave Salvatore Enterprises Holding Inc. Everything is set and planned to the last detail. She will vanish and live quietly in Romblon as a stranger. It will also serve as a hideout from the people who are hunting her down from a case involving the death of her grandmother, whom she had killed. Love has never been part of her plan. It's always the scenery of being free from her past. But no matter how toxic, arrogant, and snobbish the Chairman of the Salvatore Enterprises Holding Inc,... love wins against everything of her, and it chose her at the moment to get played with. Nanaig ang pag-ibig sa kung paano pinapakalma ng usok ng sigarilyo ang bawat paghinga niya, at sa kung paano pinapainit ang katawan niya ng alak. Lalo na sa kung paano siya nakakalipad sa ulap sa tuwing dumadaloy ang droga sa kanyang katawan... para makalimutan ang kasalanan niya sa nakaraan. Loving the Chairman was more than a feeling to that kind of love she once trusted but failed her. But unlike before, she sees from the beginning ... the red flag and the consequences of it all once her past is exposed. She's loving a man who will be in the end... either put her in jail again, or make her live on that island... never sober... but this time it won't be about the past... it would be all about him. _________ Comic Artist: Jean Cunningham (@forkingpen) Editor: MSan
