Now, years later, their story continues-older, wiser, and far more complicated. Mika de Guzman is doing her best to move forward. As a junior scriptwriter at PBK Broadcasting, her days revolve around deadlines, coffee, and keeping things strictly professional-until her past walks right through her front door. Kai Mendoza. Now a producer-director at PBK. Now her boss. Now... her unexpected roommate. They say it's temporary. A coincidence. Strictly work.
