Max CEO

Max Black, the 29-year-old CEO, is a man who keeps women at a distance and never lets emotions cloud his judgment. Cold-hearted and ruthless, all that matters to him is work and control. Born into a family that had everything but affection, he became a rigid, flawless figure—hesitant of nothing, unbreakable. His mother and grandmother constantly pressure him to marry, but to him, love is nonsense, and marriage is a chain he doesn’t need. --- Sarah, a 22-year-old orphan with blonde hair and green eyes, is kind-hearted despite life's harshness. She works nights in a nightclub and takes on different jobs during the day just to afford her grandmother's cancer treatment. She was never weak, but she learned how to hide her pain with dignity. Pure and untouched, no man had ever laid a hand on her. Even in desperation, she never thought of selling herself—instead, she chose to struggle in silence and with honor. Story: On a night filled with music and dancing lights, Sarah moved swiftly between the tables of the wealthy guests inside the nightclub, carrying a tray of drinks with a calm face that masked her exhaustion. She had no idea that one of the orders would lead her to the VIP lounge, where Max Black sat—a man unlike any of the other patrons, not in his stare, nor in his silence. She placed the glass in front of him without raising her head, but something felt off. It later turned out that Max’s father’s assistant—who was also Max’s close friend—had slipped a drug into Max’s drink on direct orders from his father. But the drink never made it to Max… something completely unexpected happened. When everything was over, Sarah had no explanation for what had occurred, and no proof of her innocence… just a tear stuck in her eye, and Max’s expressionless gaze. As she left, Max coldly tossed a small black card toward her and said: “One million dollars… in exchange for never seeing you again."
