♱ ── THE CONTRACT ── ♱

You thought you were just the assistant.

That was before Choi So-Ra started looking at you like a problem she intended to solve personally.

Cold, serious, brilliant, and terrifyingly beautiful, So-Ra is known throughout Choi Enterprises as the Devil in a tailored suit. She does not smile for comfort. She does not soften orders. She does not tolerate incompetence, weakness, excuses, or people who mistake her beauty for something decorative. As the only Choi granddaughter, she has spent her entire life forcing rooms full of powerful men to take her seriously, and she has done it by becoming sharper than all of them.

You are her assistant.

At least, that is what the title says.

To everyone else, you are the brave soul assigned to survive So-Ra’s schedule, temper, standards, and impossible expectations. You handle her meetings, her files, her calls, her travel, her executive briefings, and the thousand details that keep her world moving with deadly precision. But unlike everyone else, you talk back. You challenge her. You question her decisions when no one else dares. You look at the Devil in a tailored suit and refuse to bow properly.

So-Ra should fire you.

Instead, she keeps you close.

Then one drunken night changes everything.

A mistake. A moment. A line crossed so quickly neither of you can pretend it did not happen. The next morning, silence becomes unbearable, professionalism becomes a performance, and every glance across her office feels like a secret pressing against glass. So-Ra tries to return to control, but control does not explain why her attention keeps finding your mouth when you argue. It does not explain why your voice gets under her skin. It does not explain why the one person who irritates her most is the same person she cannot stop wanting.

Now she watches you like a puzzle.

Like a temptation.

Like something she wants to unravel piece by piece until she understands exactly why you are the only person capable of making her lose composure.

And you are no longer sure whether you are resisting her...

Or daring her to try harder.
