In our life, we encounter people that can be our guardian angels, and sometimes they're too good to be one and sometimes this can change your life in one blink.
My story started when I walked out of our house with my one-year-old daughter on that cold windy night.

I took a deep breath while staring at the tainted glass door of the owner's office. I don't know whether to come in or not. Maybe I can try again and let's see if this can be my lucky day or not. I'm just hoping that I and Mr. Aragon won't cross paths again.
My fingers keeps shaking until I turned it into a ball and grip it tightly. I made my decision. I guess to have a second chance can't harm anything right?
I reach out the doorknob and twist it to open.
The owner was patiently waiting for me on his desk.
" Good morning, sir. Are you Mr. Lee? A friend of mine told me that you're looking for a waitress?", I

Max didn't want to talk about their problem when Tally was around so she asks a favor to her ex-boss, Asher, that they can talk outside. Asher agreed and told Tally that he will get back again to buy her an ice cream. "Take care, uncle. I hope you can come on my birthday." She said and that's when he realized that Max's daughter will celebrate her birthday soon. He smiled at her and he promise to come on her birthday. "Sure, I will come. May I know when is your birthday?", he asked her, and Max's daughter told him excitedly. " On Monday. I don't know if I have a cake since mom told me that her boss didn't pay her after she resigned. What kind of boss is that?", Tally said and Max heard it. She felt embarrassed about it since her daughter didn't know that the person she was talking to was her ex-boss. "Baby, that's enough.

Max POVI had been thinking about this the whole night about going back to the Ace Company. I don't know if this is the best idea to do that I will just continue my fake identity because my boss told me so.Maybe he's just doesn't want anyone to find out that I am a woman because the company needs to protect their image and the summer collections are coming and he said that the Italy fashion week collaboration is coming."Yes, I need to do my best for my second come back. I make sure that I won't do any mistakes this time to prevent everyone from knowing me another Max Lopez, a single mom and broken." Max mumbled as she started shaving her hair for real. No need to put fake short hair anymore and a beard. All I need is to wear a man's suit and make my voice deeper and manly."Ahem!", I cleared my throat and practice my man's voice again.I rub my throat and try another deep voice. I think I lost my man's voice a little since i

Max blushed when Asher kept holding her hands. She's the one taking it away because she's afraid that her fantasies about him will turn real. They said it's not bad to dream big but this one was bigger than she thought." Ahm, I guess I had to go back to my office. What if someone will see us like this? They might think sir that I am dating you and they will think that were gays and it looks gross!", she told him but Asher just laughed at her."Don't worry, this whole glass wall is soundproof and my glass was tainted so no one will find out what we are doing." Asher stood up from his chair and started walking in front of her.Max's heartbeat began to beat like a drum. She didn't know why she's acting like this. Maybe she's just overwhelmed that Asher was the same guy inside the restaurant who became interested in her. He leans closer near her face an inches apart. She can smell his menthol breath and it makes her insane."Why? Are

"What? Are you drunk, ma'am Tatiana?", Max was speechless after hearing it.She didn't know that Tatiana was serious. She lean closer towards her and bit her lips to tease her and Max felt gross about it but she must act like a man even it's against her well so she won't think that she's just doing an act." I'm not kidding here." She told her and to Max's surprise, Tatiana came closer near her chair and was about to sit on her lap.She quickly push her away which made her stumble on the floor."I'm so sorry, ma'am but I don't do things like that in my work." She said but noticed that Tatiana holds her hips. I guess she hurt it."Ahhhh, it hurts! Why do you need to push me? Are you gay?", she asked her with her annoyed face.Max quickly shook her head." I'm not! I told you I have a girlfriend right? I don't sail at two rivers." She softly told her and Tatiana just realized her wrong actions.&

Max POV I never imagined my life will be this adventurous. I thought it was dull and meaningless but since I got hired at Ace Company, my life changed. I met the cold CEO Asher Aragon where he appreciated my talent as a dress designer in the name of Max Lopez. I used the same name as my real name but got caught after winning my designer piece and got kicked out. I thought my life will end at that time but fate brought us together again. He seems interested in me before he knew that I am the Max who lied to him and now that he found out that we're only one person, I thought he will get mad at me but it's the other way around. He even hired me again to go back to his company and that's a relief. I can take back my job again and earn money but as we always see each other at the workplace, something felt igniting. I thought he's becoming kind and teased to me but that makes me get worried too. He's Asher Aragon of Ace Company, a bi
