Amelia Barnes and Scott Evans had been inseparable since childhood, navigating their friendship with a set of steadfast rules. Rule #7 had always been etched in their minds: Scott's elder brother, Chris, was an untouchable entity, strictly off-limits to Amelia. Even a simple glance in his direction was considered a transgression. Fortunately, adhering to this rule had never posed any challenges because Amelia and Chris hadn't exactly been the best of friends to begin with. Their interactions were often characterized by awkwardness and the occasional disagreement.
However, Chris's assistant abruptly resigns, leaving him in a bind. Desperate for a solution, Chris turned to Amelia, much to her surprise. He pleaded with her to step into the role and help him manage his professional life. This sudden twist left Amelia in a state of uncertainty, as she grappled with the idea of working closely with someone who had been an enigma for so long.
