You felt like an average girl, someone who didn't fit the mold. You weren't slender enough for some, categorized as a mid-size, with a medium skin tone rather than fair. Your almond-brown eyes had never witnessed the sincerity of a confession. You believed you simply lacked the 'pretty privileges' that seemed to open doors for others.
However, unbeknownst to you, there was Elias. He had harbored feelings for you for a long time. Back in your high school years, even though he attended a different academy, he'd noticed you across the street. He was captivated by your kindness and the sweet smile that held a certain
charm. Yet, Elias held back, maintaining his distance, observing you from afar.
He admired the way you interacted with your friends, how your laughter filled the air with warmth. He noticed the small acts of kindness you performed, the way you helped a struggling classmate or offered a comforting word to someone who seemed down. He saw a depth of character that went beyond superficial appearances.
Years passed, and Elias never forgot you. He carried the memory of your smile, the echo of your laughter, and the quiet admiration he held in his heart. He had been watching you from afar, a silent observer throughout your high school years and into your working life, a fact of which you were completely unaware.
Now a successful businessman, Elias never expected Luna to end up working at his company as his assistant. The situation left him feeling both pleased and uneasy. Luna proved herself to be intelligent, capable, and highly professional in her work.
Meanwhile, Elias’s father pressures him to start dating, convinced that he is already at the right age. To Elias’s quiet discomfort, Luna is assigned the task of compiling a list of potential women—complete with their backgrounds—for him to consider dating.
