The CEO'S secretary
Elias Rourke was more than a billionaire he was a tempest in a custom-fitted suit. As the CEO of Rourke Enterprises a bachelor, he was known for his icy effectiveness, merciless transactions, and total absence of emotion. Everyone referred to him as “Ice King” when he wasn't around.
Up until her.
Chloe Hart had worked as his secretary for slightly more than two weeks. Timid, kind-hearted, and excessively courteous, she was the type of woman who kept track of birthdays, tended to plants, and uttered "please" to the coffee maker. Elias hardly paid attention to her,until the morning she entered his office unannounced.
“I apologize for the interruption,” she said, her voice shaking, “but you haven’t had anything to eat today.” "It's nearly four."
He looked at her, irritated. “That’s none of your business.”
“I prepared a sandwich for you.”
She places it on his desk and walks away before he has a chance to reply to her.
Even with how rude he is to her, she brings him homemade meals everyday and lavender tea after tough meetings.
He started to notice little details about her, the way she played with her necklace when anxious, she shows no emotions even when he yells at her. One day, he sees himself approaching her desk not to order her around, but to ask her about her well being.
When a scandal almost destroys Elias’s empire. She stays by his side, not out of obligation, but because she trusted him.
He looked at her and whispered, “You are the gentleness in my whole existence." "I don't know how to show emotions, but I will learn just for you."
Chloe smiled, looking at him and said "Steel is capable of melting, Elias." "Even kings can experience love."
