"Lana..."
His call of my name made my heart melt. It was the sweetest sound I had ever heard. My hands ran through his hair and he turned his face to kiss the inside of my arm. Not wanting to lose sight of his eyes, I turned his face back to me. He rested his forehead against mine and we gasped in unison, his drives accelerating.
I tightened my grip around his shoulders, spreading my legs wide for him. He grunted and kicked up his pace. With our eyes on each other, we watched the other fall apart, melting and moaning. His golden eyes were so full of desire and heavy emotions that it made the exchange of heat, the intertwining of our naked bodies, the feel of his heart beating against mine, all the more sensual and intimate. My heart swelled by our act of intense passion. It was so much deeper than just an act of pleasure. I couldn't deny it anymore.

Thanks to the help of her best friend, she is able to join a tech startup despite having little to no experience. But just because she's able to get in doesn't mean she's good enough to stay. In desperate need of training, she seeks help from her fellow colleagues, one of which is the Tech Lead, Tyler Chen. He seems to despise her mere presence, yet is determined to work with her. While his behavior is befuddling to her, she too is giving off mixed signals as she struggles with the acceptance of her past and allowing herself to move on.

Office enemies fight for the same promotion, while resisting their growing chemistry.
LAYLA masks her insecurities behind perfectionism. The goofy girl who loved flowers and cooking for her parents is now a workaholic and out of touch with herself. All she's able to focus on is to get promoted so that she has a chance to feel confident and earn her dad's long-awaited approval.
LUCAS hides a heavy burden with charm and nonchalance. The boy who used to be nurturing and open now pretends to joke around without a care. What he doesn't share is that he might want that promotion to fulfill his own voids just like her.
One thing leads to another, and the two find themselves in unprofessional settings where their masks slowly come off, showing how similar they are, and just how much they might need each other.
