HOLDING THE HEART OF THE GENERAL

HOLDING THE HEART OF THE GENERAL

 Romance
5.0
Ana, at the age of 25, was a figure of delicate beauty and innocence. Her petite frame and attractive appearance sharply contrast her professional demeanor and meticulousness at work. She served as the private assistant and right hand of Mr. David. On the other hand, Max was a stern and aloof 30-year-old director who instilled fear in his employees. He could have been more approachable with his handsome looks and masculine aura. Women didn't pique his interest; he viewed them as insincere, troublesome, and annoying. He once harbored a genuine affection for an older woman, but that romance had scarred him. Max hailed from a wealthy family that ran a renowned fashion enterprise named Lisas. His mother had passed away early due to illness, leaving him with a father with whom he could hardly see eye to eye. The business demands left his father with little time for him, causing their relationship to turn frigid gradually. In stark contrast to Max's family, Ana, albeit not wealthy, was the beloved granddaughter of her grandfather. Orphaned at a young age, she was raised and doted upon by her grandfather. Her slightly clumsy yet warm and kind nature gave those around her a sense of security. Her family was involved in a tragic accident caused by Mr. David, driving under the influence after a client meeting. This incident robbed Ana of her parents, but the remorse shown by Mr. David prevented the family from pursuing charges. Since then, Mr. David has felt guilty and ready to help Ana. As she grew up, he sponsored her fashion education, intending for her to work in his company, where she provided steadfast support. Ana was showered with love and privileges by Mr. David. He trusted and favored her, providing her with a luxurious city apartment and funds to build a house in her hometown. These privileges led to misconceptions about their relationship, with people mistaking Ana as Mr. David's lover. Neither addressed nor clarified these rumors, further fueling Max's resentment towards his father, whom he believed was dating someone his age. During a site visit for a new store, Mr. David suffered a heart attack. With his dying breath, he clung to Ana's hand, entrusting her with fulfilling his remaining wishes and the instructions in his will. He departed this world in her arms. Thus began the complicated relationship between Max and Ana. For reasons unknown, Max's father asked Ana to work as Max's secretary for a year. Max could fire her if he weren't satisfied with her work after this period. But if Max refused, all his assets, company, cards, and cash would be frozen and handed over to Ana. What was the intention behind Max's father's wishes? And where would Max and Ana's relationship lead? Let's wait and watch.
