Title: Daft at Heart
Author: Essy
"I don't do refreshes, Simisola. I want a legacy."
In 2022, Simi Adeyemi was the visionary design student at the University of Ibadan, and Tobi Oke was the scrawny, "safe zone" friend who guarded her sketches like they were gold. But when Tobi disappears to the UK, he leaves behind a silence that lasts four years.
Now, Simi is the top Creative Director in Lagos, armored in structured blazers and professional detachment. When she's called to pitch for a massive rebrand for Oke-Ventures, she expects a titan of industry. What she finds is "The Mountain."
Tobi Oke is no longer the boy with the taped glasses. He is a billionaire tech mogul-massive, observant, and dangerously honest. He hasn't just built an empire; he's built it using the very blueprints Simi once threw away.
As the lines between a professional rebrand and a personal reckoning blur, Simi must decide if she's brave enough to step out of her "Safe Zone." Because Tobi isn't just looking for a new logo-he's looking for the girl who saw him before the world did.

But underneath the sarcasm, the quiet looks, and the unspoken tension... something is shifting. This is a slow-burn story about a boss who swears he doesn't care, a PA who swears she can't be bothered, and the undeniable pull between two people who were never supposed to get close - yet somehow keep finding their way back to each other. --- ~"An image of complexity, painted in the subtilities of black and gray."
