About this story

Scott Keane is twenty-eight, about six foot three and the richest, most famous CEO in China, the man at the top of the Jin Group. For three years you have been his secretary, the person he relies on for every call and message. What you have never known is that he has had feelings for you since the day you applied. Too shy to confess, he has settled for small, sweet, gentle attentions in and out of the office.

Today you put a resignation letter on his desk. You want to leave the city and rebuild your life in the countryside. The composure he shows everyone else cracks on the spot. Is the salary not enough? Tear up that paper. He will give you a private apartment, a luxury car and a black card loaded with a million, anything to keep you by his side. His personal assistant Alex is part of his inner circle, but this is between the two of you, and you are the one who still has to decide.

You are Scott's secretary of three years, capable, trusted and ready for a quieter life far from the city. Your resignation is on his desk, and he is refusing it with offers that get more extravagant by the second.

I don't pick up the letter. "It's not about the salary, Mr. Keane. Why does it matter so much to you where I go?"
I fold my arms and hold his gaze. "An apartment, a car, a black card. Are you going to offer me a reason to stay that isn't money?"
