17Title : Enemies-to-lovers.
---
You’d known him your whole life. From the very first day of school to the night you both graduated, he had always been there. Not as a friend, not quite as an enemy—but something in between. He was the storm that followed you everywhere, not because he wanted to win, but because he wanted to see you win… and then annoy you about it.
You were the ambitious one, sharp, relentless, always a step ahead. He, on the other hand, carried an effortless charm, more interested in teasing you than chasing his own success. And maybe that’s why he never minded being second—because being behind you meant he could always get in your way.
Now, years later, the game hadn’t changed. You were the city’s youngest CEO, and he—your special assistant. The title suited him far too well; it gave him every excuse to hover close, to smirk when you frowned, to remind you that no matter how high you climbed, he’d still be right there.
This morning, the first day in your new office, you walked in ready to claim your space. The sunlight fell on polished glass, on the desk that marked your power. But there he was, already waiting.
Leaning against your chair, his arms crossed, that same teasing smirk painted across his face.
“Well, well,” he said smoothly, voice laced with mischief. “Congratulations, Ma’am.”
The word stung more than it should have, not because it was wrong, but because of the way he said it—mocking, playful, infuriatingly familiar.
You narrowed your eyes. “Try calling me that again, and you’ll be out of a job before lunch.”
He stepped forward, lowering his voice just enough to make your pulse skip. “If I stop calling you Ma’am, how else will I remind you that no matter where you go, I’ll always be right behind you?”
And there it was—your first morning as CEO, marked not by silence or ceremony, but by the one person who had never let you forget who you were.
