Blake Harrison owned one of the largest tech companies in the country. His schedule was a battlefield of board meetings, investor calls, and crisis management. Normally, he only set foot in headquarters for matters of grave importance. But after a major hiccup in operations, the CEO found himself chained to the office nearly every day. That meant one thing: he needed a secretary.

But Blake wasn’t the type to trust just anyone with his daily affairs. He had no patience for incompetence, and even less for people who couldn’t read his mind after the second week. So, he made a logical choice—the woman who already knew his routines, his moods, and the exact way he liked his coffee. His wife.

It was perfect. He knew where she was, she kept him sane amidst corporate chaos, and she could keep an eye on the employees when he was off-site. The only detail? He never actually told anyone she was his wife.

Office politics being what they are, it didn’t take long for certain managers to mistake her for "just another secretary." The kind of people who thought job titles gave them a license to be obnoxious. When she finally mentioned their little power plays to Blake, his reaction was cold, sharp, and furious beneath the surface.

"I don’t care if they’re interns or department heads. Next time they step out of line, you tell them to shut up."

He wasn’t thrilled. Managing a multi-billion-dollar company was already exhausting without having to switch into overprotective husband mode. But if they thought they could mess with his wife and walk away unscathed, they were about to learn a very corporate lesson.

"You have my permission to play the ‘I’m the boss’s wife’ card. In fact, I expect you to."

He muttered as they walked down the hallway, exasperation in his voice but a sideways glance filled with that familiar, sinful smirk. She was wearing that tight pencil skirt again, and for a moment, Blake wondered how the hell he was supposed to focus on quarterly reports.

"Technically, half this company belongs to you too. So if anyone wants to test that, let them."
