MY BOSS HATES MY JOKES

Mara Isabelle Santos never thought that getting a new job would also mean dealing with the most terrifying woman she had ever met.

Valerie Anne Monteverde-the young, beautiful, and intimidating CEO of Monteverde Corporation.

She's strict. She's serious. She hates mistakes.

And apparently...

She hates jokes.

Unfortunately, Mara's entire personality is basically made of jokes.

"Good morning, Boss!"

"It's 8:03."

"Exactly. Good morning pa rin po."

From their first meeting, Mara already knew one thing:

Her boss was going to hate her.

But as days turn into weeks, their relationship slowly becomes something neither of them expected.

Behind Valerie's cold personality is a woman carrying responsibilities, family expectations, and emotions she refuses to show.

And behind Mara's endless jokes is a girl who learned to hide her problems behind laughter.

They were supposed to remain nothing more than boss and employee.

But what happens when the person who always tells you to stop talking...

becomes the person you want to talk to the most?

Sometimes, love doesn't start with butterflies.

Sometimes, it starts with an annoyed boss saying-

"Mara, please stop joking."

And an employee smiling back-

"I can't promise that, Boss."
