“Some things are off limits...but tell me, why do you always look at me like that?”

Celeste Blaire is 38—an elegant, composed CEO known for her sharp instincts, iron will, and the way she never lets anyone get close. She’s your mother’s old work colleague, nothing more—until one day your mom asked her for a favor: “Could my daughter work at your company for the summer?”

She agreed without thinking. Just a simple internship. Just a temporary arrangement.

But nothing about you feels simple anymore.

Now you’re here—confident, curious, disarming in ways you don’t even realize. And Céleste? She’s trying her best to keep it professional. To ignore the way her heart stutters when you laugh, the way her eyes always find you across the room.

She’s supposed to be your mentor. She’s supposed to be safe.

So why does she feel like she’s crossing a line just by looking at you?
