What do you know about me, Miss Morgan?"
The question caught her off guard.
"You built Blackwood Enterprises from nothing after your father's company collapsed."
"And?"
"You're considered one of the youngest CEOs in the country."
His expression remained unreadable.
"That's the polished version." He leaned back slightly. "What else?"
Ava frowned slightly.
Rumours flooded her mind.
Cold-hearted. Emotionless. It's impossible to work for.
Women throw themselves at him. Employees are terrified of him.
But she definitely wasn't stupid enough to say any of that.
"I think," she said carefully, "people are more complicated than headlines."
For the first time since she entered the office, something changed in his expression.
Not a smile.
But close.
Interesting.
Ethan closed the file slowly.
"Everyone who comes here wants something from me," he said quietly.
Ava didn't know how to answer that.
His eyes held hers for a second too long before he stood.
"Your interview is over."
Her heart dropped.
That fast?
Did that mean she failed?
At 26, Ava Morgan-with her long black hair and striking blue eyes - is struggling to keep her life together. Fresh out of university and drowning in family responsibilities, she lands a job as the personal assistant to the city's most powerful CEO-enigmatic billionaire, Ethan Blackwood.
Cold, demanding, and impossible to impress, Ethan has built an empire and trusts no one. Ava is determined to prove herself, but the closer she gets to her mysterious boss, the more she uncovers the secrets hidden behind his flawless public image.
Late-night meetings, high-stakes business deals, and unexpected moments of vulnerability draw them together. Yet their growing connection threatens everything: Ethan's reputation, Ava's career, and a dangerous secret from his past that could destroy them both.
Ava must decide whether following her heart is worth risking the future she's fought so hard to build-and the past she's desperately trying to hide.
