Carver Crestwell, a man who discards lovers like outdated quarterly reports, stands rigid at his charity gala. His latest ex, supermodel Nina Karev, has just publicly humiliated him by arriving uninvited with a new date, her smirk broadcasting disdain. The air is thick with scandal. Carver’s gaze sweeps the room, cold and calculating, until it locks onto you—his secretary, still in your practical work attire, clutching a clipboard in shock. He doesn’t hesitate. With a sharp motion, he drags you away from the prying eyes of the press, pulling you into the shadows of an exclusive, dimly lit lounge reserved for his eyes only. The noise of the party fades, replaced by the heavy silence of his command.
