Between Drinks and Deadlines
“Selene has spent the last two years hustling through side jobs, sending out endless applications, and surviving the grind of unemployment. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she lands a job at Stones Technology as the CEO's secretary-a position that feels like the fresh start she's been waiting for. To celebrate this hard-won milestone, Selene and her best friend, Maya, head to a club for a night of drinks and dancing. A few shots in, Selene catches the eye of a strikingly handsome yet enigmatic man. The chemistry is instant, and before long, one thing leads to another. The next morning, she wakes up alone in a hotel room, the handsome stranger long gone. Shrugging it off as a successful one-night stand, Selene consoles herself with the thought that in a city as big as New York, the chances of crossing paths again are practically zero. But when she arrives for her first day at Stones Technology, Selene is hit with a rude-and very cold-awakening. The mysterious man she spent the night with? He's not a stranger after all. He's her new boss, and he's nothing like the charming man from the club. Now, Selene has to navigate a work environment where every interaction is laced with tension, and nothing is as simple as she thought. Will she have her happily ever after or will other external factors complicated her path to a happy ending?”
