Matilda James is a dedicated and resilient Secretary to the founder and Chairman of Willow Incorporated. Despite the challenges that life often throws her way, she navigates them with remarkable strength and warmth. With her unwavering spirit and fierce resolve, her passion and kindness shines through in everything she does Alaric Willow is nothing like what you’d expect from an heir. As opposed to the refined businessman his father wishes him to be, his name splashes across the cover of every magazine, capturing the public's eye. After all, what’s more intriguing than a notorious womaniser with a complete disregard for convention? Alaric embodies the thrill of rebellion, making headlines for all the right—and wrong—reasons. When tragedy strikes, the Chairman has no choice but to hand the company over to Alaric, his only son and heir. Becoming the CEO of his father’s company was never a part of Alaric’s plans and neither was working for the Chairman’s son on Matilda’s to-do-list. Especially not after a one-night stand.
View MoreSt. Mary’s Cathedral.Ae Ra’s POV.As I stood in the queue, the huge bald security guard in an all-black suit paid no attention to me while his slightly smaller colleague checked the guests' invitations. I was worried that someone might recognize me, so I covered my face with my hand. Although the rumours had died down, I didn't want to take any chances.For the occasion, I opted for a curly pinned bun, which made my face more visible. It was CEO Jung's recommendation, and it complemented my baby blue cottage core dress and bow-tied collar white blouse. Matching baby blue platform pumps, and minimal makeup. I completed the look with pearl earrings and a gold bracelet.Suddenly, someone bumped into me, and I hid my face even more while accepting their apology. I didn't want to risk being seen, as Ch
Lie Blu’s Apartment.Ae Ra’s POV.Chairman Jung… he’s been a bit different since the day that false news came out. Perhaps that’s what happens when you have a countdown to how long you have left to live hovering above your head. I stared at my reflection in the elevator glass.How much would I change if I was terminally ill? Would I be more honest with myself or would I be even more pretentious than I already was? Would I stand up for myself like people ask me to or would I be nicer and take everything life throws at me or worse… would I quit my job and go haywire?I sighed as the elevator door opened and my apartment floor came into view. Now that I’m unemployed, what can I do to occupy my time?A familiar silhouette was seated on the floor in front of my door. He wa
Jung Group HQ.Ae Ra’s POV.Baek Jin has been too busy handling the rumours about CEO Jung being a tyrant boss who sexually assaulted his workers and had power trips. He hasn’t been to work either leaving me all alone in the office which gave me too much time to overthink.It’s been two days since I’ve last seen CEO Jung. We’ve worked with each other for two months now and I’ve gotten to see different sides of him but nothing could have ever prepared me for that night.When I received that call and caught the first taxi that came to view I wasn’t sure what I expected to see but I knew I wanted to see him.And I did.In a way that had never once crossed my mind.
Ki La Di.Ji Won’s POV.“I should have a drink.”That sole thought brought me to the front of a small old building in a dark alley with the moon as it’s only source of light. The name sign was almost off its hinges, its name ‘Ki La Di’ was barely recognizable.“This must be the place,” I muttered to myself as I opened the door.The smell of smoke greeted me the moment I walked into the dimly lit room. I squinted my eyes to adjust to the poor lighting. Low music played in the background and there were about four customers scattered around the place.Three were seated at a round table, the other sat on the barstool with the bartender. The men at the ro
Hiii Favour here, author of My Unlovable Boss. I'm sure you already know that. I don't know why I feel the need to announce myself like that all the time.Anywho, I want to say a big big thank you to everyone who has given my story a chance. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. Whether it's hundred, fifty, twenty, ten, five or even one of you reading my story it brings me happiness."Wow, someone out there actually likes the story I created, my characters and basically what runs through my mind."This story started as a hobby, a way to keep myself busy and stress relief. To think that it would grow from a mindless activity to something more truly amazes me. The characters have grown on me and I want to do my best to give them a story they deserve.I am still learning, I'll make mistakes and I'm sure five years from now I would even think "this could have been so much better" because I tend to be hard on myself. Until then, however, I am proud of what I have achieved thus far.

Reader’s discretion is advised thank you and keep reading ‘My Unlovable Boss’Ji Won’s Residence.Ji Won’s POV.I combed my hair back neatly as I took in my appearance in the mirror. Not a single strand was out of place and my face was clean-shaven as usual. I pulled my tie up and straightened my collar before throwing on my black suit jacket.I adjusted the buttons on my wrists and took in my reflection once more. I disliked not being neat and proper, a habit I had developed when my mother was still alive. My empty eyes glared back at me annoyed by my thoughts.My mind was wandering again, I sighed. My phone rang jutting me out of the rabbit hole I was about to fall into. It was Baek Jin, he usually barged in here whenever he arrived to pick me up. Was he calling because I told him he lacked manners?“What?” I answered.“Good morning to you too, my sunshine.” He responded sarcastically.“If you don’t have

Reader’s discretion is advised thank you and keep reading ‘My Unlovable Boss’ Jung Goods.Ae Ra’s POV.The next three weeks of my life had taken a drastic change. CEO Jung showed up at my doorstep every morning to pick me up for work. As if driving me to work wasn’t crazy enough, he always and I mean always carried me around too.He carried me bridal style from my apartment door to his car and from his car to his office. You heard right, his office! He claimed it was because he had to watch over me. I don’t even want to talk about how embarrassing it was to be seen in his arms every morning and every evening after work both at work and in my apartment lobby.He even tried taking me to the toilet once but that was where I drew the line. Baek Jin was also swamped with all the field work in my place so I was left alone with CEO Jung for most of the day during these three weeks.I wasn’t sure how I felt
Jung Goods.Ae Ra’s POV.Eating in front of him was initially awkward but I soon got over it. His gaze was penetrative and unflinching but it was also warm and caring. He could have done whatever to occupy his time but he stayed with me instead to make sure I didn’t feel lonely while eating.It was weird how cold yet caring he was, it made me curious to know just who the CEO was. How he grew up to the man he was now. As soon as I was done eating, he passed me the medication Dr Gu recommended and watched me drink them.He felt more like a babysitter than my boss. He also felt like my mum when he discarded the things I ate with and brought me water to drink as well. It's been a while since anyone has cared for me this much. “Thank you, CEO Jung. I appreciate you looking out for me and taking care of me even though you don’t have to.”He peered at me from his desk. “You’re welcome, Miss Lee.” That was all he said as he gathered the things from his desk, which happened to be just his phone
Jung Goods.Ae Ra’s POV.“Miss Lee… Miss Lee?” A soft voice called. Where was I and who was calling my name? The first thing I noticed was the concerned silver orbs in front of me. His beautiful black hair was messy like he had run his hand through his hair several times. His lips were moving, saying something. Was he talking to me?I tilted my head to the side as I grabbed his face and examined it. His face was so beautiful up close, I thought to myself as I pulled his cheek causing him to frown slightly at me. He was not a figment of my imagination.I jumped away from him, with flushed cheeks and shook my head vehemently, forcing myself awake. “CEO Jung, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that to you, sir.” I was stuck in a state of confusion where I couldn’t tell reality apart from my dreams.Wait, was I dreaming of him?“It’s alright, Miss Lee.” He stood. “It’s getting late, I thought it would be best to wake you.”Now that I think about it, the sky wasn’t bright and sunny like it
