"I am more than just a CEO nextdoor. I am more than just your boss. I am your lover." Anna Jones' life became miserable when she was kicked out of the restaurant she was working at after having an altercation with a rude customer. Thankfully, her best friend since birth, Emily Smith, is always there to save her ass. She contacted a friend of hers to find Anna a job opportunity. However, just before the job opportunity arrives, Anna has an unfateful encounter with a stone-cold man living next door, who happened to have accidentally knocked her to the ground, left her, and did not even bother to say sorry. After accepting the job opportunity and testing her luck in the interview, will Anna continue to pursue work if she finds out that the man she got bumped with, the man who is rude, and is nonchalant, and is living just next door, is going to be her boss? Anna will venture into a vast array of emotions, test her decision-making, and find out to what extent she is willing to hold a grudge knowing that her soon-to-be boss, her most hated person in the world, will unexpectedly fall in love with her.

She will start on working on Monday, and the very first thing that Anna has set in her mind is that she needs to be in her modest form– which technically means she’ll have to be presentable inside and out. She is rummaging through her now-empty cabinet when Emily suddenly knocks on the door. She opens it instantly, but the door gets stuck halfway because of the clothing scattered on the ground. “What is this mess all about?” Emily asks, wondering why Anna’s clothes are literally all over her room. Anna grunts. “Argh! I can’t find the new dress you gave me when I first arrived here. I was planning to wear it on my first day of work.” Emily massages her temples after knowing the reason behind the chaotic room of Anna. “God, Anna. You know you don’t have to go through this just for a dress, right? I got lots
Emily gets into the car with the help of the man who’s been patiently waiting for her outside. The car hits the road, and it takes Emily about two hours to finally reach the destination. When the car arrives in the dock of Mulle Loney, Emily is mesmerized by the scene. The night has started, and apart from the stars in the sky, the whole place has also been illuminated by the lights coming from the ships. She hasn’t gone out of the car yet, but she can already see just through the tinted windows all the luxurious restaurants along the shore, and the busy people that don’t look ordinary natives. “I didn’t know there are so many restaurants in this place,” Emily says out of amusement. “They are all five-star restaurants. Some are even so famous that even celebrities and members of political families visit to dine here,” the chauffeur answers just as he gets off the front seat to open the door for Emily. “In which of them is the boss waiting?” she asks again, her veins slowly getting
On Monday afternoon, a couple of days after Anna Jones went for a job interview, Emily returns home with her boyfriend. They bring with them some groceries and essential stuff they will be needing for their out-of-town trip. Anna Jones is slouching on the sofa, doing nothing as usual since the day she was fired from her job. “You know what, Emily…” Anna shoots as soon as she sees Emily walking past the door. “... I think I should find another job. I haven’t heard anything from that company and I’m starting to assume it’s because I was not qualified for the job.” “Can you please calm down?” Emily laughs as she gently puts the grocery on the table. “My friend told me that he’s gonna call regardless of whether you are hired or not. So, chill out, enjoy your remaining days of being unemployed, and eat some grapes because I bought you some.” Anna energetically jumps out of the couch and walks to the kitchen counter. She serves herself a bowlful of grapes and heads back to the couch.
The next morning, the two best friends leave the house early to pursue their individual fates; Emily will be seeing her boyfriend to plan for their scheduled out-of-town trip, while Anna is bound to try her luck on the job vacancy she is told to apply for. “Please, for the love of God, just do your best and try not to make a scene in the interview room,” Emily said as soon as she pulled over the car. They are now stopped outside of what looked like a skyscraper twin building, standing about twenty floors each. Anna jumps out of the car and instantly gets struck by the two gigantic buildings connected by a huge arc with a name, SCENT REPUBLIC. “Are you sure this is the company I am applying for?” She looks up, jaw-dropping on the floor. “Yes, this is it. I can’t be mistaken.” Emily lowers her sunglasses onto her nose and rolls down the window. “As a matter of fact, that’s my friend waiting over there.” She excitedly leaves the car and drags Anna all the way to the man in an all-bla
Anna rushes to the sink in the women's toilet and turns on the faucet. She doesn't use it, but she figures the room is so quiet that perhaps the sound of the rushing water would ease her off. She stares at her reflection on the mirror spreading wide in front of her. She has never been this beautiful; with all the make-up, the eyelashes, and even the chestnut brown contact lenses Emily put on for her. She felt the roughness of her silver-chained choker necklace with a pendant in the center, and thought of how many nights she had spent thinking for a moment like this to come. And now that it's here, she seems so lost and doesn't know how to behave. And then there is a knock on the door. Anna ignores the knock and turns off the faucet, but the door still creaks slightly open. Noah Scott promptly steps in— peaking. “Hey, sorry if I had to intervene. I just want to check on you,” he says, staring straight into her eyes. “What for?” Anna turns off the faucet. “You are clearly doing se
Anna Jones’ forehead creases like a crumpled paper as she walks down the pavement– shoulders dropping on the floor– feeling miserable now more than ever. Rage engulfs her head, as she cannot still fathom the fact that she was fired from the restaurant she is working at, after ‘winning’ the petty little altercation that took place between her and a rude customer. “I still don’t get the reason why I was fired from my job when all I did was just defend myself. Am I not allowed to do that?!” the 22-year-old blonde asks herself as she kicks off literally every pebble she sees on her way. As Anna decides there are no second chances left for her to be summoned back by her employer and tell her everything is only a prank, she heads to her best friend’s unit to give her the biggest news of the day. Her best friend ever since the world began, Emily Smith, owns a unit just outside of the unmanaged and the only mansion in the Moonsdrive Village. She has lived with her for quite some time now
