The stares followed her like heat lamps all the way to HR.

Nobody said anything, of course. But she caught the sidelong glances, the quick whispers the second her heels clicked past.

It didn’t take a genius to know what they were thinking:

Didn’t Sinclair just roast her alive in the boardroom?

Now she’s heading to HR? Is this a walk to collect her severance?

Their eyes burned into her back until she reached the frosted-glass doors.

Great. Perfect. If this were a Korean drama, there would be dramatic background music right now.

Instead, Isabella got the receptionist’s raised brows as she slid the new contract across the desk like it was a loaded gun.

“Chairman Sinclair has… appointed you as his personal secretary?” the HR rep asked, her tone carefully neutral. The kind of neutral that actually meant: Are you sure you didn’t hallucinate that?

“Yes,” Isabella said, smiling politely. “Apparently.”

The woman blinked. Then printed out a stack of papers, still giving Isabella that how are yo

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Closure and Latte

    The doctor’s office smelled like disinfectant and paper. Isabella nodded through instructions about blood panels and why protection was important, barely hearing a word. Her mind was stuck in the corridor—Chloe’s perfume cloying whisper:“Meet me at the café around the corner. Let's talk.”And so here she was.Café Verve was the kind of place influencers flocked to—hanging plants, blackboard menus in curly chalk, indie music humming under the clatter of cups. The air smelled like cinnamon and espresso. Isabella took a sip of her latte, and her eyes nearly rolled back.God. Good coffee. Dangerously good.She made a mental note to come back—minus the villainess across the table.Chloe Dubois sat opposite, flawless as always, crossing her legs just so. Even her diamond bracelet sparkled like it had been rehearsed.Isabella’s spoon clinked against porcelain as she stirred though the latte didn’t need stirring. Her nerves demanded it.Chloe finally spoke, syrup dripping off every word.

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 10: I'm not fired?

    Looking at Vincent Sinclair’s wide back as he cut through the hallway with long, unhurried strides, Isabella decided she must have lost her mind.In the span of forty-five minutes she had gone from wanting to quit… to deciding she wouldn’t quit… to preparing to be fired.Impressive, even by her standards.“Chairman Sinclair.”“Good afternoon, Chairman Sinclair.”Everywhere they walked, greetings dropped like coins into a fountain. Executives bowed their heads, staff members offered cautious smiles. And all of them stole sideways glances at Isabella Rossi — the formerly composed assistant who now looked like a schoolgirl being marched to the principal’s office.The walk felt endless, but they finally reached the mahogany double doors. Vincent pushed them open and stepped inside without a word.Isabella hesitated. Her feet rooted to the marble floor.Okay, Bella. Deep breath. This is good. He’ll fire you. You won’t have to see Chloe’s smug face anymore. You won’t have to deal with her b

    "I apologize, Chairman Sinclair." Isabella's voice trembled slightly as she stood straighter, mentally flipping through every figure, every subtotal. "I’m not sure where the problem is. The numbers in the report were based on data forwarded from the marketing department.""There’s a significant discrepancy in the second data point for Spring," Vincent said, his voice low but edged with scorn. "You didn’t notice it was twenty percent higher than Summer’s? How long have you been with Halycon&Co? And you're still making errors this basic?"He leaned back slowly into the wide executive chair, one hand resting on the tabletop with pointed ease. His stare raked across the room."I don’t care what your habits were before. From now on, you follow my expectations. Rigor. Accuracy. If anyone in this company delivers mistakes like this again, they won’t be working here. Halycon doesn’t keep incompetence."The silence that followed was suffocating.Several department heads exhaled cautiously, whi

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 8: This Brother–Sister Duo

    Though Halycon&Co was only one subsidiary under the sprawling Sinclair empire, its growth in recent years had been meteoric. And now, with the family heir stepping in to personally oversee operations, no one in the building took the moment lightly.A new boss always meant a new regime.Everyone knew Vincent Sinclair’s arrival wasn’t a formality. It was a reckoning.The 2:00 p.m. meeting had been circled, highlighted, and whispered about in every corridor. Isabella arrived a few minutes early, hoping for a moment to collect herself. But the boardroom was already full.The air inside was unnaturally still.She stepped inside quietly, scanning the room—and then her gaze locked.Vincent Sinclair was already seated at the head of the table, his posture relaxed but unmistakably dominant. One hand rested atop a folder, his long fingers rhythmically tapping the cover. The motion was slow, calculated—yet somehow furious. An unspoken warning.The light caught the silver in his cufflinks, making

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 7: Job troubles

    Vincent Sinclair heard her explanation and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, studying her with a gaze that gave away nothing. His expression was unreadable—a painting half-finished in shadow. Then, after a tense pause, his brow lifted slightly and he gestured toward the elevator panel."Going up?"Elliot Shaw, standing awkwardly near the mirrored wall, exhaled quietly. The tension drained from his face as he watched the silent exchange.So the two knew each other?Seeing Chairman Sinclair so calm, even conversational, Shaw felt the blood drain from his face. He'd almost reprimanded someone the chairman appeared familiar with. His mind reeled with quiet panic.Isabella stepped aside gracefully. "Chairman Sinclair, I can take the employee elevator. I sincerely apologize for earlier. I wasn't paying attention."She gave a polite nod and moved toward the side exit of the elevator lobby.It was a wise move. After graduating, she had come to Halycon&Co through Chloe's recommendation, but ever
