I’m not an easy guy to get along with. Or so I’ve been told. Something about over-domineering, alpha-hole, and rich rubs people the wrong way. All good in the neighborhood. I’m not interested in relationships anyway. But unfortunately, thanks to my success, I need a new secretary. Or rather, I’m being forced to take on a new admin, and the conditions are clear—I’m not allowed to fire her for a year. Nothing like having rules sprung on you in your own company. So I hire a single mom with a pretty smile. Everyone likes her. Everyone but me. She’s got more fire than I expected. And no matter how abrasive or aloof I am, she presses harder against me. I’m falling for her stubborn nature and finding myself wanting to bend my rules of relationships to please her in any way I can. And then… she leaves. Quits without warning. Seems she has a secret. One an orphan like me can’t swallow without choking. My baby.
