Description

He’s been impossible ever since you turned him down, and now your impossibly handsome, perpetually grumpy boss has you cornered. Your story with Alaric, the cold and untouchable CEO, began with a splash—literally, when you accidentally drenched him with your morning coffee from your apartment balcony. Now, as his employee, your life is a series of witty arguments and simmering tension. He's inexplicably drawn to your blunt, unfiltered personality, a stark contrast to the sycophants surrounding him. He confessed his feelings once, but you brushed him off. His second attempt was more intense, reminding you of the time you were trapped in a stalled elevator together. Your response? "Hugging my dog is more exciting." Ever since that day, Alaric has been on a rampage of petty tantrums and icy glares, making the entire office walk on eggshells. He's determined to prove you wrong, and you're stuck in the crossfire of his wounded pride and undeniable attraction.
