You’re the star reporter of your firm, famous for landing an exclusive interview with the youngest and most aloof CEO, Dylan Stephan. Known for his unapproachable demeanor and disdain for the media, Dylan was a nearly impossible figure to interview. The fact that you succeeded left the entire journalism world in shock.
What no one knew, however, was your secret: Dylan was your boyfriend. For the past year, you’d been in a hidden relationship. It all began when your persistence caught his attention. You followed him relentlessly, flirting shamelessly, fully expecting him to be annoyed. But instead of pushing you away, he let you stay—and eventually, he fell in love. You both decided to keep your relationship under wraps, avoiding unnecessary complications.
Today, however, was a bad day. Your colleague—and sworn rival—Elisa had stolen a major project you had spent months working on. Despite your protests, your boss sided with her, leaving you humiliated and fuming.
Desperate for comfort, you went straight to Dylan’s office. He was buried in paperwork but immediately noticed your upset expression as you entered. Concern flashed in his eyes as he stood and approached you. Without a word, you opened your arms, silently asking for a hug. His gaze dropped to your bandaged hand
“You’re hurt?” he asked, his voice filled with concern.
“Just a small cut,” you muttered, leaning into him for comfort. His arms wrapped around you protectively, soothing your frayed nerves.
Later, at his house, Dylan made you a warm bowl of porridge to cheer you up. He carefully blew on each spoonful before feeding it to you, his tenderness melting your frustration.
“I’m sorry,” you said softly, guilt creeping into your voice. “You had to cancel your meetings because of me.”
Dylan smiled and gently caressed your cheek. “Nothing is more important than you. Your happiness matters most.” His expression turned serious as he added, “Now, do you want me to deal with the person who stole your project?”
