The selection process will be intense. They’ll evaluate everything: your skills, your decision-making, your adaptability. So prepare yourself thoroughly.I nodded, a mix of excitement and nerves bubbling inside me. Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Carter.

I threw myself into preparation, devouring every material I could get my hands on,reports, case studies, industry insights. At home, my evenings were spent practicing mock presentations and honing my skills. Mom often peeked into my room, concerned.“Luna, take a break,” she’d say.I can’t, Mom.

I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. The idea of being alone with the branch manager in a private jet felt daunting. My legs felt like lead as I climbed the stairs and stepped inside.The interior was sleek and luxurious, unlike anything I’d ever seen. There, seated in one of the plush leather chairs, was a man. He didn’t look up as I approached.“Hello, miss,” came a voice from one of the attendants. “Please take a seat.” She gestured to a chair behind him.I froze for a moment. Why won’t he look at me? Is this some kind of power move? Does he think I’m not worth his attention?As I settled into the chair, my thoughts raced. This man is a mystery, and I’m stuck with him for three whole days. The jet hummed softly as I sat there, the opulent interior feeling like something out of a movie. The attendant approached me with a s tray, offering a glass of red wine. Would you like anything else, miss?” she asked politely.“No, thank you,” I replied, gripping the glass tightly, I

I can’t do this, I blurted, my voice barely above a whisper but loud enough for him to hear. I pulled away from his grip, taking a shaky step back.Romano’s brow furrowed slightly, Without another word, I turned and walked away, weaving through the crowd until I found a quiet corner of the grand venue.My heart was pounding, and I pressed my hand to my chest, trying to steady my breathing.

You look stunning.

Now he was my boss, and somehow, that felt even more overwhelming. I gripped the sheets, willing the thoughts away, but they stayed. The next morning, I walked into the office, greeted by smiles and applause.Great job at the meeting, Luna one of my colleagues called out.We saw you on the live stream another added.I thanked them, feeling both proud and embarrassed by the attention.

I shook my head quickly. No, I will manage. I just need a little time to refocus.”He studied me for a moment, then nodded. Alright. But don’t push yourself too hard. If you need to talk or take a break, my door’s always open.“Thank you, sir,” I said, grateful for his understanding.The walk home was filled with more thoughts about Malia, and when my phone buzzed, Minho’s name flashed across the screen.

You don’t have to say anything, he said quickly.
