last update Last Updated: 2024-12-31 18:25:46

The morning at Grant Enterprises was as usual—sharp-dressed employees buzzing around with files, coffee mugs in hand, and nerves on edge. Julian Mather’s reputation preceded him, and the entire company thrived on his precision and ruthless drive for success.

Every employee knew Julian demanded perfection. Even a single mistake could result in a devastating reprimand or, worse, immediate termination.

A group of his senior staff, including department heads and his temporary assistant, gathered in the grand conference hall. They were rehearsing their reports for the day.

“Everything must be perfect,” one of the department heads, Martin, murmured as he flipped through his notes. “Mr. Mather won’t tolerate stuttering or incomplete answers.”

“Do we even know who the new secretary is?” whispered Clara, the head of marketing.

“No idea,” Martin replied, adjusting his tie nervously. “But whoever it is must be extraordinary if Mr. Mather chose them personally.”

Clara scoffed softly. “

    Selena wasn’t sure what to expect when Clara, the head of marketing, knocked on her office door. The older woman’s polished demeanor and professional smile screamed efficiency, but there was an unmistakable curiosity in her eyes that put Selena on edge. “Good morning, Selena,” Clara greeted warmly. “Mr. Mather asked me to help you get acquainted with his schedule and responsibilities. Shall we?” Selena nodded, standing reluctantly. “Sure, please lead the way.” As they walked through the office, Clara began her spiel, her voice carrying a mix of admiration and trepidation when she spoke about Julian. “Mr. Mather is… well, as you’ve probably guessed, he’s not your average CEO. His schedule is—how should I put this?—exhaustively detailed. He’s a man of precision, and that reflects in every aspect of his day.” Selena raised an eyebrow. “How precise are we talking here?” Clara smirked knowingly. “Let me give you an example.” Clara pulled a sleek tablet from her handbag and sw

    Selena sat in her room, flipping through the pages of her new leather-bound diary, scribbling every detail Clara had shared.Julian’s absurdly regimented schedule filled pages, annotated with her thoughts and questions. Her fingers gripped the pen tightly as she underlined “10:00 a.m. – Black tea.”The devil expects perfection, huh? Well, I’ll give it to him, she thought, her brows furrowing. She might not be able to control much in her life right now, but she wasn’t about to let Julian Mather call her incompetent.She went to the kitchen, meticulously preparing his black tea, ensuring the temperature was just right and the presentation flawless. The rich aroma of the brew filled the air as she carefully placed the teacup on a tray. Satisfied, she carried it to his office. Without knocking, Selena pushed open the heavy oak door, stepping into the room. Her confident stride faltered when she saw Julian wasn’t alone. Three men were seated in the room, their eyes instantly turning towar

    Julian leaned against the cool glass of his office window, his hands buried in his pockets. His jaw clenched as he replayed the scene from earlier in his mind—the way Hargrove had leered at Selena, the smug smirk on his face as if she were some object to be appraised.He gritted his teeth. Why had it bothered him so much? He had planned this. Selena’s humiliation, her struggles—it was all part of his carefully laid revenge. She was supposed to endure this, to feel the same helplessness he had felt when his mother died.So why did the thought of Hargrove’s gaze lingering on her make his blood boil? Would he have cared if it were any other employee? No, of course not. Any other employee wouldn’t have even entered his mind after such an incident.But her.He shook his head violently. No, this isn’t about feelings, he thought. She’s just a means to an end, nothing more. Whatever lingering emotions I had for her from the past are long gone.He exhaled sharply, running a hand through his ha

    Selena was settling into her desk, trying to get a handle on her new environment, when the first visitor arrived—a young man from the IT department. “Miss Frost,” he stammered, his face turning a shade of pink as he adjusted his glasses. “I just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of your movies. Especially *Starry Nights.* It’s, uh, a masterpiece.” Selena forced a polite smile. “Thank you. That’s kind of you to say.” Before she could say anything else, another man showed up. “Hey, Selena,” said a tall guy with a confident grin. “I mean, Miss Frost. I work in marketing, and I was just wondering if you’d sign this for my sister. She’s a big fan.” He handed her a glossy photo of her from one of her movies, and Selena raised an eyebrow. “Where did you even get this?” “Oh, uh,” he scratched his neck awkwardly, “the internet?” Selena sighed but signed it anyway. She thought that would be the end of it, but within minutes, more and more employees started to appear, pretending they ha

    By the time the office began to empty in the evening, Selena was drowning. She hadn’t even completed two documents from the mountain of work Julian had dumped on her. Her desk was littered with papers, her hair was disheveled, and she had a pencil awkwardly tucked behind her ear. She glared at the spreadsheet on her screen like it had personally offended her. “How the hell do people do this every day?” she muttered, slamming her head lightly against the desk. “This isn’t work; this is torture.” Selena flipped through a document, reading the same sentence for the fifth time. “What even is a market analysis?” she groaned, tossing the paper aside. Her hands found her temples, rubbing them as if massaging her brain might somehow make her smarter. She missed acting. Memorizing lines, doing photo shoots, walking red carpets—it all felt like a dream compared to the nightmare of deciphering Julian’s financial jargon. “This column isn’t even aligned properly! Is that my job to fix?!”

    The announcement of the new production under the Grant Company’s sister branch sent a wave of excitement across the employees. It was a rare opportunity for the company to expand its influence in the entertainment world. A murder mystery romantic drama was an unusual yet intriguing choice, and the buzz surrounding the project was palpable. Selena sat stiffly at the long glass conference table, a notepad and pen in front of her. She tried to focus on her task—writing down key points of the meeting—but her nerves were getting the better of her. Julian was at the head of the table, exuding authority as usual. His calm, measured voice dictated the flow of the conversation, and everyone else in the room hung on his every word. "The story revolves around an unsolved murder in a small coastal town," one of the department heads began, glancing at Julian for approval. "The protagonist, a private investigator, is brought in to solve the case but gets entangled in a romantic relationship w

    Selena sat hunched over her desk, her forehead resting in her palm as she stared at the seemingly endless stack of papers. Her mood matched the gloomy gray skies outside. Her stomach churned with cramps, her head throbbed from frustration, and every five to ten minutes, Julian’s sharp tone sliced through the office like a dagger. “Miss Frost!” Julian’s commanding voice made her flinch. He was standing by her desk, holding a paper like it was a contaminated object. “This report is incomplete. Do you even read what you submit, or do you just hope for the best?” Selena bit her tongue, swallowing the retort burning in her throat. “I’ll fix it,” she muttered, keeping her voice even. Julian’s eyes narrowed, and he leaned closer. “Don’t ‘fix it,’ get it right the first time.” He dropped the paper on her desk with a heavy thud before walking off. Selena sighed, slumping in her chair. She grabbed the report, her fingers trembling slightly as she scanned the pages. It didn’t seem incom

    "Miss Frost," Julian started, his tone low and dripping with disdain, "how long are you planning to waste everyone’s time with your incompetence? A simple task of taking notes—notes!—and you managed to botch it completely." Her hands clenched at her sides as she bit back the sting of his words. "I’m doing my best," she muttered. "Your best?" He scoffed, throwing the pen in his hand onto his desk with a clatter. "Your best is mediocre, and that's being generous. You think this is some playground where you can show up and coast on your reputation? If you want to survive here, Miss Frost, you need to be better than this." Selena's patience snapped. She slammed the notebook she was holding onto his desk, glaring at him with fire in her eyes. "Why don’t you just say it, Julian? You hate me! You’ve been breathing down my neck all day, waiting for me to mess up so you can pounce." Julian leaned back in his chair, his jaw tightening. "Watch your fucking tone," he warned coldly. "Or

    Samantha paced her bedroom like a caged animal, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her hands were clenched into tight fists, her nails digging so deeply into her palms that crescent-shaped marks were forming. Her phone lay on the vanity, its screen still glowing with the last call she had received.The words spoken to her echoed in her mind, louder and more infuriating with each passing second. "We can’t call her anymore. If we do, our company will be sued." Her jaw tightened as she replayed the conversation in her head. "What?" she snapped, her voice sharp enough to cut glass. "Who the hell is threatening you?" The pause that followed had been brief but loaded, as if the person on the other end was weighing their words carefully. "Julian Mathers." Samantha had nearly thrown her phone across the room. Now, standing in front of her vanity, she seethed. Her reflection in the mirror showed a woman on the edge of madness—her chest rising and falling with ev

    The next day, Selena was still ignoring Julian. She had been furious when she stormed out of his office the previous day, but now that her anger had simmered into cold silence, she was determined not to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. She didn’t look at him in the car on the way to work. She didn’t acknowledge him when he greeted her in the office lobby. And she definitely didn’t speak to him when they entered the elevator together. Julian, however, was growing impatient. He was used to their arguments, their little fights—hell, he even enjoyed their constant back-and-forth. But this silence? It was infuriating. And if she thought she could freeze him out, she had another thing coming. So, naturally, he decided to annoy her. The elevator was packed, filled with employees shuffling in, whispering among themselves about work and gossip. Selena stood stiffly in front of Julian, arms crossed, staring straight ahead as if he were invisible. A smirk played on Julian’s l

    Julian sat in his study, the dim light of the desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. His fingers drummed restlessly on the polished wood of his desk, his mind a whirlwind of frustration and regret. The events of the past few days replayed in his head like a broken record—Selena’s cold indifference, her sharp words, the way she had looked at him with such disdain. He leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. "Why the hell is she so stubborn?" he muttered to himself, his voice tinged with exasperation. But deep down, he knew why. He had crossed a line, and he knew it. That night, under the influence of anger and that damn mysterious phone call, he had lashed out at her. His words had been cruel and unforgivable. The way he demanded she sleep with him for a role, reducing her to nothing more than a prostitute. And now, he was paying the price. Julian groaned, rubbing his temples. "What the hell was I thinking?" He tried to calm himself, to reflect on h

    Selena stiffened the moment she heard Grayson's name. Her fingers curled into fists at her sides, her breath catching in her throat. The memories of that day came crashing in her and she shuddered. Her lips parted, but the words felt heavy, suffocating. She wanted to tell Julian exactly why she would rather rot than take this role—but she couldn't. Instead, she forced herself to stand tall, masking the turmoil swirling inside her. "I’m not interested," she said coldly. Julian's brows furrowed, his jaw tightening. "Not interested?" he echoed, disbelief lacing his tone. "You were desperate for an opportunity, and now you're just—rejecting it?" Selena swallowed hard, gripping her arms to steady herself. "I don’t need your help anymore," she glared at him. "So?" he drawled, his deep voice laced with amusement. "This is what you wanted?" Selena stood in front of him, arms crossed, her expression hard as stone. There was no amusement in her face—just cold fury. "What I want

    After the meeting, Julian returned to his office with lots of thoughts in his mind. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Grayson had agreed too easily and quickly. It wasn’t like him to be so...cooperative.He sat down at his desk, his thoughts drifting back to Selena. Why had he even mentioned her? His chest aches at the memory of their argument and how she was on the verge of crying and he rubbed his temples, trying to push the thoughts away. He didn’t owe her anything. He didn’t even 'like' her. So why was he helping her?"Damn it," he muttered under his breath, leaning back in his chair. He didn’t understand why he cared. But the truth was, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. About the way she had looked at him, the way she had fought back even when she had nothing left.He sighed, running a hand through his hair. He would talk to her about the movie. Not because he wanted to help her, but because he had made a promise. And Julian Mathers always kept his promis

    Mr. Grayson sat in his office, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached. The sting of Selena’s slap still burned on his cheek, a constant reminder of the humiliation he had suffered. A 'mere actress', a 'nobody', had dared to strike him.Him! A man of power, of influence. The audacity of it made his blood boil.He slammed his fist on the desk, the sound echoing through the room. "That 'bitch'," he muttered under his breath, his voice trembling with rage. "Who does she think she is?"He pulled out his phone and dialed his manager, his fingers trembling with anger. The call connected after two rings."Grayson," his manager’s voice came through, calm and professional."Find out everything you can about Selena Frost," Grayson snapped, his voice low and venomous. "Where she is, what she’s doing, who she’s working with. I want to know 'everything'."There was a brief pause on the other end. "Selena Frost? The model-turned-actress? I thought she fell off the radar after that scandal.""Well, she

    Few days later -Selena stepped into the restaurant, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The place was upscale, with low-hanging chandeliers and plush velvet booths, but the atmosphere felt suffocating. She adjusted the strap of her purse, her fingers trembling slightly. This was her chance. Her 'only' chance. She couldn’t afford to mess this up.The director, a man in his late fifties with a receding hairline and a smug smile, was already seated at a corner table. He stood up as she approached, his eyes raking over her from head to toe in a way that made her skin crawl."Selena," he let out, his voice smooth but laced with something she couldn’t quite place. "It’s been a while. You look... stunning, as always.""Thank you, Mr. Grayson," she replied, forcing a polite smile. She slid into the seat across from him, her stomach churning. She could feel his gaze lingering on her, and it took every ounce of willpower not to squirm."So," he began, leaning back in his chai

    Julian ran a frustrated hand through his hair, his jaw clenching as he watched Selena storm away. What the hell was he doing? He let out a low groan, leaning back against his desk. His fingers curled into fists as a memory flashed through his mind—one that he hadn’t allowed himself to think about in years. Selena. Standing on a bright stage, cameras flashing, her signature dazzling smile lighting up the entire room. She had just been named the youngest top model of the year. Julian had been there too—not as an honored guest, not as one of the powerful figures shaking hands with her—but as a mere assistant to the photographer covering the event. Back then, he was just another nameless face in the crowd, watching her from behind the lens. She had been untouchable. A goddess in human form. And he? He was nothing. Just a man with a borrowed camera, standing in the shadows, admiring her from a distance. How ironic was it that now, she stood right in front of him—no longer

    The words hit her like a punch to the gut. Her heart stopped. Her stomach twisted. Did she hear him right? Her lips parted, but no words came out. He was…he was joking, right? But no—his eyes told her he wasn’t. Pure amusement danced in his expression, like he was watching a little bird trapped in a cage. Selena’s hands trembled. She didn’t know whether it was anger, shock, or something far more dangerous twisting inside her. She couldn’t even breathe properly. “W-What the hell?” she finally whispered. Julian tilted his head to have a better look of her nervous eyes. “What? I thought we were making deals, Selena.” Her body stiffened. She searched his face, desperate to find some sign that he was just trying to mess with her. But there was nothing. Only cold amusement. This was what he thought of her, wasn’t it? That she was just another actress willing to do 'anything' for fame. Julian watched her, soaking in every single reaction. It was fascinating, real
