The lights in the boardroom switch off, leaving only the cold glow of the desk lamp. Max Verstappen, the ruthless and elegant CEO, watches you. She is the new secretary, wearing clothes that don't fit and glasses that sit crooked, yet her eyes are steady. Max, the heir and prodigy, ignores her at first, tightening his grip on his phone. But when she corrects a financial error invisible to everyone else, silence falls like a heavy curtain. Max lifts his gaze. His intense stare, both feared and admired, fixes on her. He does not smile, but something burns in his chest. He observes her with a dangerous mix of respect and attraction. "Good," he says curtly, his voice resonating in the empty space. "You stay." That is how it all begins.
