Sarafina Haley AKA Sarah} had always been the kind of girl who moved through the world without leaving footprints. Soft-spoken, careful, and easily overlooked, she preferred the safety of silence over the risk of being noticed. an official freshman that had graduated from UCT and now was finally in the company of her dreams ,In a city as loud and restless as Los Angeles, that quietness felt like both a shield and a limitation. All she wanted was a steady job, a paycheck that didn't bounce, and a life that asked very little of her.
She never expected to walk into Voss & Hale Capital and find herself sitting across from the most untouchable man in the building.
🖤Michael.J.Jackson was not the type of boss people gossiped about with excitement. They spoke of him carefully, the way people speak of something sharp and cold. He was the professional boss-precise, distant, and terrifyingly still. He did not raise his voice. He did not waste words. He did not look at people longer than he needed to. Most employees went out of their way to avoid his floor, his gaze, and anything that might draw his attention.
Sarafina had no such strategy.
During her interview, she answered every question in that same soft, steady voice she had always used. She didn't try to impress him. She didn't try to charm him. She simply told the truth. And for reasons she would never understand, that was enough.
He hired her.
She thought that would be the end of any real interaction between them. She planned to keep her head down, do her work, and remain as invisible as possible. But invisibility was harder to maintain when the man who never looked at anyone kept finding reasons to look at her.
