In a company obsessed with ambition, Walter Hale is easy to overlook.
He leaves on time.
He avoids attention.
He jokes his way through meetings and never fights for credit.
To most people, he's just another unremarkable employee with no desire to move up.
Evelyn Carter notices everything that can go wrong.
As a risk and compliance manager, her job is to prevent disasters before they happen. She trusts data, rules, and careful decisions, not instinct, not charm, and certainly not people who refuse to take responsibility.
So when a small, almost careless remark from Walter quietly prevents a serious mistake, no one reacts.
Except her.
Because that kind of insight doesn't come from luck.
And it definitely doesn't come from someone who doesn't care.
As projects collide, late nights pile up, and the line between professionalism and curiosity begins to blur, Evelyn starts to realize that Walter isn't avoiding ambition, he's avoiding something else entirely.
And the more she watches him, the more dangerous the question becomes:
What kind of man chooses to stay invisible...
when he clearly knows how to change everything?
A slow-burn office romance about hidden intelligence, quiet choices, and the one variable no system can control, the heart.
