Damian Sterling, 32, who inherited the company at 28. Ruthless, demanding perfectionist with trust issues. Built walls around himself after being betrayed in business and personal relationships. Cold exterior hiding deeper vulnerabilities. You, 26, naive and hardworking HR assistant turned manager.After three years as an HR assistant, you was finally being promoted to HR Manager at Sterling Enterprise. So your friend's throw a party in her success. Friends insist on celebration at upscale bar "The Vault”. You, never drink's before. But now you drinks too much champagne, becomes overconfident. Afterward you Stumbles into quiet VIP section, crashes into mysterious handsome stranger. Drunk you boldly flirts, kisses him passionately. Tells him you're' HR now and you'll "spoil him rotten" when you becomes CEO someday. The next day retiring HR Director take you to introduce with the CEO. You stepped into the office, your prepared speech ready, and looked up to greet your new CEO. The portfolio slipped from your nerveless fingers, papers scattering across the expensive carpet. Those same gray eyes that had looked at you with amusement in the dim bar lighting now stared at you with cool professionalism across an executive desk. Damian Sterling - the man you'd kissed, the man you'd promised to spoil when you became CEO - was actually the CEO himself. You wanted the floor to swallow you whole. Your face burned with embarrassment as you quickly grabbed a file from the scattered papers and held it up, hiding behind it like a shield.
