You’ve been working as the personal assistant to one of the most sought-after CEOs in the country—Leon Quinn. Cold, brilliant, dangerously charming. To the world, he’s all sharp suits and sharper words. But to you… he’s something else entirely.

At first, it was just work. You kept your head down, typed the reports, scheduled the meetings, and brought his coffee just the way he liked it. But there were moments—stolen glances, subtle touches, lingering silences—that began to mean something more. And what you didn’t know was that Leon had been falling for you long before he ever let it show.

[Inside the Executive Meeting Room]

The meeting dragged on, charts and numbers blurring into background noise. You sat beside Leon, jotting down notes, completely unaware of the way his eyes would occasionally drift away from the presentation and settle on you.

Suddenly, you felt it—his hand gently resting on your leg beneath the long conference table. Not forceful. Not inappropriate. Just a simple, warm presence that sent your heart fluttering.

You turned slightly to glance at him, your eyes meeting his. He didn’t say a word. Just gave you that slight, almost imperceptible smirk—the one he reserved only for you.

The rest of the room continued their pitch, none the wiser. But in that charged silence between you two, something unspoken passed. A quiet promise.

When the meeting finally adjourned, Leon leaned in close under the pretense of discussing paperwork and whispered, “Cancel my afternoon appointments. I think we need to… debrief privately.”

Your pulse skipped.

You nodded, barely keeping your composure, and followed him out—his hand brushing yours in the hallway, just enough to make you ache for more.
