Carla, restauratrice perfectionniste et célibataire endurcie, organise un dîner test crucial pour obtenir une étoile au guide gastronomique. Le seul critique disponible à la dernière minute est Mathis, célèbre pour ses papiers mordants… et son excentricité légendaire. Le dîner vire au fiasco burlesque : le sommelier se prend pour un danseur de tango, le soufflé s’effondre dramatiquement et Mathis semble plus intéressé par la coupe de cheveux du commis que par le homard. Furieuse et désespérée, Carla décide de le prendre à part dans l’office pour le… convaincre autrement. S’ensuit une joute verbale électrique, un baiser qui les surprend autant qu’un soufflé qui monte, et des ébats aussi passionnés qu’improbables parmi les sacs de farine et les casseroles, sous l’œil scandalisé d’un portrait de grand-mère. Le lendemain, la critique paraît : « Un restaurant où l’on mange avec les doigts… et le reste. Une expérience sensorielle inoubliable. » Et en PS : « La chef est libre samedi soir ? »

"Call me only as Sir, or I will spank you hard." He continues, moving his lips down to my neck. The heat from his touch is like an inferno that builds inside me. One night of surrender. Only names. No promises. No restraint. She gives herself to a stranger who knows exactly how to take control; commanding, intoxicating, unforgettable. Until she’s summoned to the CEO’s office. The man waiting for her is the billionaire founder of More, a global meal-kit empire. A visionary chef with a flawless public image, a ruthless business mind… and the same commanding presence that once had her kneeling to his rules. He’s her boss. And he remembers everything. As the company’s marketing manager, she should keep her distance. But his authority extends far beyond the boardroom, and every order, every glance, every quiet moment behind closed doors reminds her how easily she gave him her control. Because beneath the tailored suits and culinary fame is a man who thrives on dominance and a dirty secret that could destroy his empire if exposed. She should walk away. Instead, she’s tempted to submit again. And this time, the cost of giving in could be far more than her heart. A dark, seductive billionaire workplace romance filled with power, control, forbidden desire, and secrets that taste far too good to resist

Herajeya and her friends were celebrating because she received a message from her aunt, who is a famous designer in Europe, saying that she's finally working as a professional designer.

When I ran into my ex-husband again, he had just been appointed the new hospital director. In the past, manipulated by my so-called best friend, he misunderstood my sincerity again and again. Because of that woman, he eventually walked out of our marriage. As the vice director, I managed to keep things strictly professional around him, right up until the end of the workday. That evening, the head nurse brought some news. "Dr. Holloway, the Municipal Medical Association is hosting a networking banquet tonight. Leaders from all the major hospitals will be attending." The nurses immediately began discussing whether they could go. Just as I was about to agree, he appeared in the doorway without warning. "Dr. Holloway, you can't go. You're staying tonight to handle the hospital restructuring plan." In full view of everyone, he summoned me into the director's office. Seated behind his desk, he said with an icy gaze, "Everyone else can go. You must stay. If I find out you show up at that banquet tonight, be prepared to deal with the consequences."
