Sally's new job started in a very unusual way. Now, it's fair to say that Sally really didn't get along with her boss, and he wasn't exactly her biggest fan either. But when he needed someone to pretend to be his girlfriend to help find some secret agents at work, she agreed without much hesitation. The pay was good, so why not? But sometimes, love can blossom in the most surprising situations, and even people who seem like they should be enemies can find themselves drawn to each other. However, life often has its own plans, and even for those who fall in love, there can be unexpected twists ahead. To find out what happens, you'll have to read the rest of the book.

My hard boss Chapter 1 Interviews and coincidence

Sally was not feeling very excited this morning. She was heading to another job interview. Dressed in a simple shirt and skirt, she held her bag and documents tightly. When she arrived at the company's building, she decided to grab a cup of coffee as she rode the elevator.

After taking a few sips, she realized she needed to use the restroom. She tried to hold it in, but the pressure became overwhelming. As soon as the elevator door opened, she dashed out, not paying attention to her surroundings. In her haste, she bumped into someone, spilling her coffee all over him. Sally froze in shock.

"What the...? Can't you watch where you are going?" he exclaimed, visibly angry. He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket to clean himself up. As he did, Sally had a better look at him. He wore a black suit and a colorful tie, and he had a magnificent build. The spilled coffee stained his white inner shirt, revealing the outline of his abs. He had brown hair, high cheekbones, pink lips, and a striking complexion. Standing about six feet tall, he was undeniably handsome; Sally found herself captivated.

"What are you staring at?" he shouted.

Sally snapped out of her daze and replied, "I am so sorry. I never meant to do this. Please, let me help you." She offered her handkerchief to help him clean up.

He snapped back, " you have done enough already. Get your clumsy hands off me! You look like you can't do anything right. Good for nothing."

Sally stared at him, feeling frustrated. "Well, I am not the only one at fault. You should watch where you are going, too. Just because I am not tall does not mean I am invisible. Maybe you should get your eyes checked! How dare you blame me!"

A crowd started to form at a distance, watching the confrontation. The man turned and walked away, disappearing. Sally quickly headed to find the restroom.

***

Sally sat in front of the office, anxiously waiting for the secretary to call her name for the interview. So far, everyone who had entered the office had come out in tears. She wondered if the interviewer was so bad. Was he some kind of monster? Standing up, she followed a sobbing woman to the restroom.

"Hey," she said, gently placing her hands on the woman's shoulders. "Are you all right?" The woman grabbed some tissue from the counter and wiped her face, her makeup running down her cheeks. "He is so cruel," she replied.

"Who?" Sally asked.

"The interviewer. He is the boss and owner of the Perfect White Group of Companies. He is terrible!"

Sally froze, feeling a wave of fear wash over her. She comforted the woman and even offered her some of her makeup. But Sally was scared; she was about to face the same interviewer, and she wasn't sure what would happen. She swallowed hard and returned to her seat.

"Miss Sally Ron, it is your turn," the secretary called. As she stood up, her hands trembled. Her neighbor whispered a faint, "Good luck."

Stepping into the room, she tried to calm her nerves.

There were two people inside: the man she had accidentally spilled coffee on just an hour earlier, and a woman who appeared to be around sixty-eight, wearing a white dress and rimmed glasses. Sally's eyes widened in recognition. The man smiled wickedly. She could guess the outcome of this interview. Sally began to shake.

"Young lady, please have a seat," the elderly woman said. Sally sat down, still shaking.

"So, tell me," the man said, "Sally Ron, twenty-three years old, I believe?"

"Yes," Sally replied.

"What makes you think you are qualified for the position you applied for? According to your resume, you have no experience as an administrative assistant. The only qualification you have is working as a waitress. What benefit can you, as a waitress, add to this company?" His voice was harsh and intimidating.

Sally swallowed and said, "I just graduated from college. If you look at my resume, you will see that I participated in many clubs and academic activities to gain experience relevant to the administrative assistant role. I have only worked as a waitress during holidays and to support myself after classes. This role has taught me valuable skills, including patience and attentiveness, which ensure customers leave satisfied."

Edmund smirked, trying to suppress his laughter. Patience and attentiveness were not what he observed when she had bumped into him by the elevator. She had not even taken responsibility for the incident, and now she was claiming those qualities.

"Anyone added to this company must bring something of value. I don't pay well for mediocrity, and with your minimal experience and questionable character, Sally Ron, you do not meet this company's expectations. I suggest you leave and find a lesser firm until you develop proper skills. Get out!"

Sally stood up, her eyes welling with tears, but she refused to let them spill. She would not give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry.

"Wait," the elderly woman called out.

Sally looked at her, unsure of what to expect.

"Please, have a seat," the elderly woman said.

"Grandma, she's not good enough," Edmund protested.

"I know what is good or not; do you not trust my judgment?" his grandmother replied. He fell silent, unable to argue.

"That necklace you are wearing-the pendant is of the moon and sun, right? Is it yours? How did you get it?" she inquired.

Sally touched the necklace and said, "It belonged to my mother. She gave it to me before she passed away."

"I see..." Grandma said. "Your record does not look too bad. Besides, fresh minds bring new ideas, which could benefit this company. You are hired, Sally. Congratulations! You can start work tomorrow."

Sally jumped to her feet, excited. "Thank you so much! I promise not to let you down."

"Grandma..." Edmund called out, clearly unhappy with the decision

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
