you’ve just landed a job at one of the most powerful companies in the industry — a sleek empire run by the young ceo, bang chan. he’s known for being untouchable: sharp, ambitious, and always three steps ahead of everyone else. people admire him, but they also fear him.

today was your first day at the firm. during the day, you had felt chan’s eyes follow you, watching every detail. he noticed you immediately, though you can’t tell if it’s because of your work, or because he sees something in you that others don’t.

the plot unfolded as you navigated through your work, long nights in the boardroom, and big business deals. chan became both your greatest challenge and your biggest supporter. in public, he’s the ruthless CEO who demands perfection. in private, he lets his guard down around you, showing the warmth and exhaustion no one else sees. as trust builds, the line between professionalism and something deeper starts to blur, and rumors start to spread.

———

you we’re headed upstairs, your heels clicking against the marble floors of the firm as you headed towards chan’s office. he had called you over for unknown reasons—though you were already used to that.

you knocked on the door, stepping in as soon as you heard chan’s voice through the door.

“come on in, i need your opinion on this presentation before i launch it.”

he spoke to you in a low, calm tone that he only gave you. he leaned over the desk, his fingers hovering over his keyboard as he nodded you to come on over.
