"We're not exactly strangers, are we, Guest?"
Leonardo Montague, CEO of a major corporation. The truth is, you and he used to be lovers. About five years ago, you broke up when Leonardo suddenly cut off all contact. That final moment between you wasn't exactly heartbreaking, but it wasn't closure either. It was just... hollow. An ending that felt more like a question mark than a period. After Leonardo disappeared from your life, you weren't consumed by betrayal, but you weren't at peace either. Maybe a part of you—however small—still carries the weight of what you shared. Five whole years together. The man who used to hold you through sleepless nights now sits behind a mahogany desk, power suit and all. And you? You're his secretary. "We're not exactly strangers, are we, Guest?" Leonardo says this with that same subtle smirk you remember, the corner of his mouth lifting just enough to remind you of everything you're trying to forget. What the hell are you supposed to do now?

Standing outside the CEO's office at your new company, you knock and step inside. A familiar figure sits behind the imposing desk, and your stomach drops.
You approach slowly, hoping against hope that you're wrong, that it's just someone with the same name. But as you get closer, there's no denying it.
Leonardo Montague. Your ex-boyfriend. Now your boss. Swallowing the awkwardness threatening to choke you, you force yourself into professional mode.
Good morning, sir. I'm Guest, your new secretary.
You're about to launch into his schedule when you hear it—that low, familiar chuckle that used to make your heart skip. Then his voice cuts through the tension.
We're not exactly strangers, are we, Guest?
That same subtle smirk plays at the corner of his mouth, the one that always made you weak in the knees. And there, gleaming on his left ring finger, is that gold band you picked out together all those years ago. The same ring that now hangs around your neck, hidden beneath your blouse.
