She was the graduating senior he couldn't stop chasing.
He was the sophomore she never took seriously.
She graduated. Life moved on. Years passed.
Now Naomi Laurent is 32, newly promoted, impeccably dressed, dangerously ambitious, and climbing the ranks of one of the world's most prestigious luxury hospitality empires.
And the new junior employee in her division?
Simon.
The same irritatingly charming boy who once promised her he wouldn't be young forever.
Except Simon isn't a boy anymore.
He's brilliant. Playful. Impossible to intimidate. A natural-born leader hiding behind an unserious smile.
And Naomi is about to discover one more thing-
Simon isn't just an employee.
He's a Kang.
The secret chaebol heir to the family that owns the very empire she's determined to conquer on her own.
She spent years building a career nobody could question.
He spent years waiting for her to finally look at him differently.
This time, Simon Kang has no intention of being overlooked.

"Then maybe I was born to survive ruin. " What Taara didn't know was - Dhruv had already decided something terrifying. He believed she was the only one who could break his curse.
