Lisa Manobal was known as a single mother.
She never corrected them.
Because the truth hurt more than the lie.
The five-year-old girl calling her "Mama" wasn't her daughter by blood-she was her sister's last gift. Her last responsibility. Her last promise.
And Lisa intended to keep it.
Even if it meant working herself to exhaustion.
Even if it meant sacrificing her dreams.
Even if it meant breaking.
Rejected. Overworked. Barely surviving.
Until one opportunity changed everything.
Working as a Personal Assistant for Jennie Kim-the cold, untouchable young CEO.
Jennie Kim didn't expect anything from the tired girl who walked into her office.
But Lisa didn't come with confidence.
She came with desperation.
And when Jennie asked her one simple question-
"Why do you need this job?"
Lisa answered with something Jennie never expected.
"For me... and for my child."
From that moment on, Lisa became part of Jennie's world.
Late nights. Silent sacrifices. Unspoken care.
Jennie was never supposed to care.
Lisa was never supposed to matter.
But somewhere between responsibility and vulnerability-
They became each other's anything and everything.
And love was never part of the job description.
⸻
Started with survival.
Stayed for love.
Risked everything.
