He stole her underwear. With a penknife. In a corporate bathroom. And somehow, that's not even the most chaotic thing about him.
Audrey Chen is three years into a job that's eating her alive, one designer-coffee disaster away from a breakdown, and exactly RM35 short of patience when Lukas Zhang - tech CTO, walking ego, human catastrophe in a velvet coat - plows into her on a Kuala Lumpur sidewalk and keeps walking.
People film it. It goes viral. He gets suspended.
And somehow, the only way either of them survives the fallout is by spending two weeks pretending they don't despise each other on camera while a stalker, a vindictive CEO, and a Series B funding round threaten to blow the whole thing up off-screen.
Lukas runs his life like clean code: no bugs, no variables, and definitely not feelings he didn't authorise. Audrey runs hers on spite, secondhand cigarettes, and a dream to open a motorcycle shop nobody thinks she'll ever afford.
Neither of them is supposed to want the other. Both of them very much do.
Kuala Lumpur has never been this dangerous to fall in love in.
