I had few friends, but the friends I did have, described me as controlling, cunning, and all too professional.
For many reasons including:
I am a girl, who didn't have to say heart-breaking good byes to anyone other than my parents when I left for university.
I am a girl, who will take over my boss's position as CEO in a few years.
I am a girl who developed my first crush a few minutes ago, at age 23.
But let's keep this professional, ok?

MR. LOVER
He's cold. He's strict. He's impossible to read. Mr. Kim-the CEO everyone fears. And then there's me. The new secretary who accidentally called him *Mr. Lover*... in front of the entire office. (Yes, I'm still employed. Don't ask how.) He's the man who doesn't smile. I'm the woman who won't stop teasing him. He says "professionalism." I say "coffee break and sarcasm." Somehow, against all odds, our worlds collide- and I discover that behind the ice-cold glare and perfectly tailored suits, Mr. Lover might not be as heartless as he pretends to be. But falling for your boss? That's the *one rule* you should never break. A story of romance, banter, and a dangerously handsome CEO who just might lose his heart to the one secretary he can't fire.
Office hours
He's the kind of boss who makes professionalism look optional - too charming for his own good, too clever to ever seem like he's trying. He runs the company with a mix of confidence and carelessness that keeps everyone guessing which one's the act. She's his assistant - anxious, precise, and determined not to give him a reason to regret hiring her. She notices everything: the lazy smirk that hides exhaustion, the way he looks out the window when he's bored, the quiet moments when he's not pretending to have it all together. They shouldn't work. And yet, somehow, they do. Their days become a balancing act - between teasing remarks and tense silences, late-night meetings that last too long, and a growing pull neither of them will name. Every glance feels like a question. Every touch that almost happens feels like an answer they're not supposed to want. It's not just office politics anymore. It's a slow burn of restraint and temptation, an emotional tug-of-war that asks the question neither of them wants to face: Will they - or won't they?

His Obsession
Prologue "How come he looks so calm while I look as red as a tomato?" I asked myself. His face was a few inches from mine, and I could feel his breath on my face. "What are you doing?" I asked as I felt him put his hands on my waist and pull me closer. "I'm going to kiss you," he said, before pressing his lips on mine. The kiss was passionate and full of desire. I couldn't resist, and I kissed him back. I was beginning to enjoy myself, then he pulled away. "You're such a tease.' I said, making a pout. "I'd love the opportunity to kiss you any chance I get, but I want to tease you until you can't stand it anymore. I want you begging for more." he said. He's my boss, and he's making me want more.

THE CEO'S CHOICE
I stood there, looking blankly at the most idiotic person I had ever seen. And I think it is impossible to find another one like him. At least 'I' am not an idiot to go looking for an another idiot when I already have one in front of me. He smirked. only smirked. Wish I could wipe it off his face. But...... He is my so-called Boss!! My ass. ''Your pretty ass made a mistake to mess with me, miss Jones.'' ''Your stubborn ass made a mistake hiring me, Mr. Williams.'' ''And I warn you, I can be a child if I want to.'' I walked around the table and leaned, resting my palms on the arms of his chair. His smirk fell. ''And I warn you, I can stoop to the level of a child. I will make you regret your choice.'' With a smirk on my face, I straightened and walked out of his office. ********************************* Ever heard of a flirty, cheerful CEO and his to-the-point, tempered PA?
