His Assistant His Ruin

His Assistant His Ruin

Doris thought the hardest part of her life was finally over the night she walked away from the man she wasted six years loving. She was wrong. After a humiliating breakup and a car accident that leaves her nearly broke, Doris clings to the only good thing she has left an interview invitation from Delvian Group, one of the most powerful companies in New York. She tells herself all she needs to do is survive the job, save enough money to rebuild her life, and stay out of trouble. Then she meets Delvis. The kind of man people lower their voices around without realizing it. The kind of man who looks at you once and somehow makes it feel like he already knows everything about you. Doris first meets him on the worst night of her life, but she does not realize the stranger from the accident is actually the CEO she is about to work for until it is already too late to run. Working for Delvis is nothing like she expected. The office is beautiful, expensive, and controlled down to the smallest detail, but underneath all that perfection, something feels wrong. People are nervous around him. Files disappear. Conversations stop when she walks in. His name barely exists online, and the deeper Doris digs, the more she realizes her boss is not just some wealthy businessman from Singapore. His family is tied to something darker. And then there is Ethan, Delvis’s charming fiancé, who smiles too easily, speaks too softly, and somehow makes Doris feel safe in a world that suddenly doesn’t. But safety inside Delvis’s world comes with a price. Because the deeper Doris falls into their lives, the harder it becomes to tell who is protecting her… and who is slowly destroying her.

Chapter: Something isn't normal here
A few minutes after the call ended, Doris remained seated at her desk, quietly looking around as she tried to get used to the space. Everything in the office looked too arranged, too perfect, as if nothing was allowed to be out of place. Even the air felt different, calmer but somehow heavier, like people here knew exactly what they were doing.She adjusted the files in front of her, then paused and adjusted them again, even though they were already straight.“Hmm… I don't wanna mess up anything on my first day,” she murmured under her breath.She leaned back slightly, taking in her surroundings again, trying to feel comfortable. Just as she was about to open one of the files properly, there was a knock on her door.She looked up immediately. “Come in.”The door opened, and a man stepped inside.Doris blinked, and for a brief moment, she forgot to speak.The man standing in front of her looked like he had stepped out of a magazine. He was tall, well-built, and carried himself with eas

Chapter: The First Meeting
Doris stood up from her desk slowly, smoothing down her skirt almost immediately. She adjusted her shirt, tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, then checked herself quickly on the blank screen of her phone.“Okay… no mistake,” she muttered under her breath.She had not met the CEO yet, and she already knew one thing: first impressions mattered. Not in any strange way, but enough for him to at least see her as competent, someone he could tolerate.Because if he did not like her even a little, she knew the truth.She would not last.And she could not afford that.Her savings were already running low, and this job was not something she could lose carelessly.She took a small breath and walked out of her office.The hallway was quiet again, almost too quiet, and she followed the directions she had been given earlier. When she finally stood in front of the door, she paused for a second.Then she knocked.“Come in.”The voice was calm.She pushed the door open and stepped inside.At

Chapter: The First Call
Doris adjusted her grip on her bag as she stood in front of the door. She took a small breath before knocking lightly.“Come in,” a voice said from inside.She pushed the door open and stepped in, her eyes immediately landing on the two women seated behind the table. They were already gathering their papers, stacking files like they were done for the day.One of them looked up, clearly surprised to see her.“Oh,” she said, pausing. “Are you here for the interview?”Doris nodded quickly. “Yes, ma’am. I’m here for the interview.”The two women exchanged a glance, and the second one leaned back slightly in her chair.“We thought we were done for today,” she said. “The position you applied for has already been filled.”The words landed quietly, but Doris felt them immediately. Her fingers tightened slightly around her bag, but she did not argue.“I understand,” she said softly.She gave a small nod and turned slightly, ready to leave. It wasn’t new to her. Things not working out the way s

Chapter: The Morning That Changed Everything
Back home, the bathroom filled with steam as Doris stood under the shower, letting the hot water run over her skin in slow, steady streams.For a while, she did not move.She just stood there, eyes closed, as everything from the night replayed in her mind whether she wanted it to or not.Tom’s face.The way he smiled like nothing had happened.The sound of her hand hitting his cheek, the crash and then… him.That man in the car.His voice had been calm, almost detached, as if nothing in the world could disturb him, and somehow that stayed with her more than everything else.Her fingers curled slightly at her sides as she exhaled.Why am I even thinking about him?The thought irritated her, and she pushed it away, stepping back from the water before reaching for a towel. She dried herself slowly, then wrapped the towel around her body and walked into her room.The silence there felt different.She moved toward her vanity and sat down, staring at her reflection for a moment without real

Chapter: The Night I Finally Let Go
Doris checked the time again, her eyes lingering on the glowing screen longer than necessary as if staring at it would somehow change what it showed.10:47 PM.Her fingers tightened slightly around her phone, but her expression remained composed as she looked up at the waiter standing beside her table. He had been hovering nearby for a while now, clearly waiting for the right moment to speak.“Ma’am,” he said politely, though there was a hint of firmness beneath the tone, “this table was reserved for another guest by eleven. We’ll need you to vacate soon.”Doris gave a small nod, forcing a faint smile that did not quite reach her eyes. “I understand. I’m just about leaving.”She pushed her chair back slowly and stood, smoothing down her dress in an awkward way. The movement gave her something to focus on, something to ground herself with, because she could feel it now the weight of attention around her. It was subtle, all eyes were on her and people had noticed.Of course they had, sh
