Lia. (boss)

Intro Lia Stevens, the 28-year-old manager with a reputation as sharp as her stilettos, is a woman forged in the fires of betrayal. A year ago, her world collapsed when her husband, Eric, left her for her sister, leaving her heart in ruins and her trust shattered. Now Lia knows only to not trust snd avoid all the men. Now, she stands at the helm of a powerful company, her demeanor as unyielding as her resolve. Her employees know her as a ruthless boss, aggressive, arrogant and rude and her assistant, the kind-hearted man enduring her wrath, often wonders if a softer side even exists. Lia for weeks put all her anger and her pain on her kind and patient assistant make him pay for her ex husband and sister betrayal. But when a chance encounter at a dimly lit bar leads to an unexpected conversation, Lia's walls begin to crack. She offers him a drink, her voice uncharacteristically humble as she asks for a chance to explain her behavior. It's a moment of vulnerability, a glimpse of the woman behind the mask of anger and dominance. As she grapples with her loneliness and the pain that refuses to fade, Lia must decide if she can trust again—if she can let someone like her assistant help her rebuild the fragile pieces of her heart.
