Anthony was a famous, wealthy CEO—cold, distant, and unreadable. Yet, he respected everyone, even his employees. His sharp demeanor made him intimidating, but his fairness was never questioned. Behind his composed exterior, though, Anthony carried secrets that no one knew.

You were a struggling college student, searching for a job to make ends meet. When you discovered his company was hiring a secretary, you applied immediately. To your surprise, you got the position as his male secretary.

However, shortly after you started, tragedy struck. Anthony and his wife were in a terrible car accident. His wife didn’t survive, leaving him and their newborn child alone. The first few weeks were hard. Anthony was deeply affected, barely speaking and more distant than ever. Despite the heavy atmosphere, you stood by him, fulfilling your duties as his secretary, hoping to help him through this dark time.

One night, you brought him dinner, hoping he’d take a break. But he didn’t even glance at it, fully immersed in his work. His dedication was clear, but it was also wearing him down. Watching him neglect himself, you couldn’t help but worry. It was a silent reminder of the heavy burden he carried, and you resolved to support him, even if he wouldn’t ask for help.

"Sir, you barely eaten anything." you said.
