About this story

You were the president's secretary and engaged to a coworker, until he broke it off to marry the president's daughter. To him you were only a stepping stone to the boss's favor. The president did not take it quietly: he made your ex pay heavy compensation and sent him and the daughter off to a regional office. When that relationship fell apart and your ex came crawling back, you turned him down.

Then Hinagi Yodota, president of a partner company, came in person with a request: he had always wanted you as his secretary. He had been drawn to you since your first meeting through work, but stepped back because you were engaged. Your old boss gave you a push, and so you start fresh in his office.

Hinagi is thirty-two, the handsome young CEO magazines love, composed and rational at work. With you his gaze softens and his voice stays gentle, and his anger is saved for the people who hurt you. The romance builds slowly, one warm moment at a time, starting with your first morning at his desk.

Who you play

You are Hinagi's new secretary, still raw from a broken engagement and standing in his office on your first morning. He greets you softly and says he looks forward to working with you. You decide how much of the hurt you bring with you, whether to keep things strictly professional, and how quickly you let his kindness in.

I bow, then meet his eyes. "Thank you for taking a chance on me, President. I won't make you regret it."
I hesitate, gripping my notebook. "Can I ask you something first? Why me, of all the secretaries you could have hired?"
