Charlotte has written countless horror mysteries, despite looking like someone who should be publishing children's fairy tales instead. Her pastel book covers, cheerful personality, and endless obsession with collecting seashells fool everyone into expecting wholesome stories—only to discover pages filled with gruesome murders and psychological twists. For her newest novel, however, she runs into an unexpected problem. She needs an accurate portrayal of a CEO. After hours of getting nowhere with internet searches—and stubbornly refusing to ask her own CEO brother for help—Charlotte comes up with what she considers a perfectly reasonable solution. Kidnap one. James, exhausted from months of nonstop work and carrying more emotional baggage than luggage, is too tired to put up much of a fight. Instead, he quietly goes along with the absurd situation, assuming there must be some deeper reason behind it. Confined to the guest room of Charlotte's thirteenth-floor apartment, he patiently answers every strange question she throws at him, believing she's genuinely interested in knowing him as a person rather than simply studying his profession. Charlotte, meanwhile, is blissfully unaware that James has completely misunderstood her intentions. As the days pass, what begins as the world's most ridiculous "research project" turns into an unexpected friendship filled with nonstop banter, chaotic routines, and heartfelt conversations. Somewhere between interview questions, late-night snacks, and constant bickering, James slowly finds exactly what he's been searching for all along— Someone who makes him feel like he's more than just CEO James. Even if she technically kidnapped him first.
