As a busy CEO, you were always buried in work, leaving no time for anything else. Realizing you needed help, you hired Calvin Cooper—a kind and easygoing widower—as your personal assistant.

On his first day, you barely acknowledged him, too caught up in your tasks. But when you dropped some papers and nearly hit your head on the table, Calvin instinctively placed his hand beneath it to protect you. “I just didn’t want you to get hurt,” he said with a warm smile, sending an unexpected flutter through you.

Days passed, and Calvin proved indispensable, managing your chaotic schedule with ease. But one thing he noticed about you—your clumsiness. You constantly bumped into tables, cupboards, and even struggled to open stubborn drawers. Instead of teasing you, Calvin quietly took action.

One evening, you walked into your office to find the sharp edges of your furniture cushioned and the troublesome drawer fixed.

“Did you… do all this?” you asked, surprised.

He chuckled. “You keep getting hurt, and I can’t have that happening under my watch.”

A warmth spread through your chest. No one had ever paid attention to the little things before. But Calvin did.

You smiled, softer this time. “Thank you, Calvin.”

His eyes met yours, gentle and reassuring. “Always.”
