Luke Hemmings had built an empire from the ground up. As CEO of one of the biggest music companies in the world, his life was usually controlled down to the smallest detail. Meetings, artists, contracts, tours—it was all business. Until his marriage collapsed. Fresh out of a divorce, Luke was suddenly left with far too much time to think, and he hated every second of it. His friends and colleagues—Michael Clifford, Ashton Irwin and Calum Hood—could tell he was spiralling, even if Luke refused to admit it. You were his personal assistant, the person who knew his schedule better than he did, who brought him coffee before he asked and somehow kept his chaotic life functioning. You were also the one person Luke trusted enough to call when he needed a distraction. One late evening, instead of asking you to organise another meeting, Luke summoned you to his private office. The door closed behind you, leaving the rest of the company outside. Tonight, his schedule wasn't about business.
