[⚠️ This story runs parallel to Melodies on a Canvas.
For full context, please read that book first or some key chapters. I will mention those key chapters inside the author note in the book.]
ANNA LORRAINE - a focused and serious assistant manager at work. Poised. Composed. Locked in. She solves problems with a cool calm and quiet elegance.
Outside of work? That's a whole different story. She's dramatic, chaotic, and will go to wild lengths for the people she loves.
ALEX ANDERSON - a famous event planner who manages events without a single flaw, like he's just styling his hair. Cool, serious, a little arrogant. He doesn't tolerate mistakes-not at work.
But off-duty? He does a full 180. He's sarcastic, chaotic, tells bad jokes, and lives to pass up funny comments.
So what happens when the two of them are forced to work together?
Both headstrong. Both allergic to errors.
One refuses to take criticism.
The other is smug and thrives on pushing buttons.
One thing's for sure:
There will be arguments.
There will be banter.
And there will absolutely be "I can't stand this person" energy.
But when their past starts to catch up with them, will either of them be willing to get vulnerable?
Follow the journey of Anna and Alex as they go from "I can't stand you" to "you're bearable enough to have a forever."
