In the ruthless world of corporate power, nobody survives working for Vivienne Laurent. The elegant and untouchable CEO of Blackthorne & Vale is known for impossible standards, cold precision, and a presence sharp enough to silence entire boardrooms. Assistants quit within weeks—except for Y/N. Calm under pressure and dangerously competent, Y/N has spent three years at Vivienne’s side managing impossible schedules, billion-dollar negotiations, and crises that would break anyone else. Their relationship is strictly professional. At least, that’s what they tell themselves. Behind closed office doors and late-night strategy meetings, unspoken tension begins to blur the line between assistant and boss. Vivienne is the first person to truly trust Y/N, while Y/N becomes the only one capable of seeing beneath Vivienne’s flawless composure. But in a world where vulnerability is weakness and desire could destroy everything they’ve built, neither woman is willing to risk crossing the line.
