“With every hour, day, and month I wait, I love you more.” 

Here is where the boss submits and the lady dominates.

"A CEO hitting on a high school girl? Oh, how scandalous, Sir~”

She is a sly teenager who likes to tease adults, use blackmail and ruin dates. 

But beneath that playful facade, she was once a naive heiress who was abused, mocked and neglected. Forced in a loveless marriage, she became even more miserable. For all her life, she tried to be perfect to gain acceptance, but in the end, nobody truly cared for her. 

Now that she went back in time after dying in the hands of her family, she decided to claim what was rightfully hers. 

"Hitting on you? Excuse me, who're you again? I don't think any girl would just ruin my date for no good reason – highschooler or not. That's unless you're actually a fan," was what her flirt of a future husband once said in this second life of hers.

Though a jerk, this hot stuff has his uses other than being attractive. She needed him to get back on those who wronged her no matter how indifferent he was to her before. This time around, she will take her turn to piss people off while smiling all sweetly.

With that in mind, she leaned closer to him and smiled as sweetly as she just imagined, making him drop his smug smirk and raise his brows in surprise.

"I'm not your fan – I'm your future wife, you douchebag."

Winter used to live with her adoptive older brother until her biological uncle and adoptive sister found her.
 
She was a long-lost heiress whose deceased parents turned out to be an affluent and wealthy couple. While people would think that she was very fortunate, all this really did to her was take her freedom away. A whole new identity had been forced on her ever since.

Meek and docile yet soft-hearted and hardworking – that she became. 

Trapped in expectations, Winter worked herself to death in order to be deserving of her position as the successor. Pressured by her family, she had to follow everything they said. Deprived of the freedom to decide, she was forced to marry someone who was older than her by seven years – and worse, a flirt of all things.
 
Winter worked very hard but only to lose everything after her adoptive sister took the spotlight away. 

Everyone claimed her to be incapable of being the next head of their family business, thus making the adopted daughter the successor instead. Her uncle only used her in the end. This was what they were aiming for all along – to manipulate her and steal her inheritances before throwing her out entirely.

Never did Winter expect that the first and last person who would at least pay attention to her at her worst was her husband, Marcellus. 

Flirtatious and playful yet detached and secretive – that he was. 

Devilishly handsome, head of a business empire, known for many notable attainments, and chased by beauties – Marcellus is a man of perfection. Not once did he treat Winter like a wife, though. She was nothing to him, and so was he to her. But before she met her eventual demise, he was the only person who tried to help her. 

Yet it was much too late. 

The next time they met again would be seven years back in time – where they would be a scheming duo of a bossy high school girl and a submissive conglomerate president.

High School Again: The President's Secret Lady Boss

Winter does think that having Marcellus go all this way to meet her is quite convenient since she does not have to commute anymore, but she will rather travel a far distance if it means avoiding unwarranted attention.


She already knows how everyone in Marie Claire High School will react once they find out that she is acquainted with a personality of repute and high standing like him. Before she went back in time, she experienced becoming more and more of an outcast because of a similar reason. While some spread rumors about her, others tried to approach her and pretended to befriend her.


In reality, they were only either using her or feeling jealous of her.


'Back then, I didn't know whom to trust anymore. My friends were backstabbing me, and others were speaking ill of me for some reason. I was bullied. Eventually, I was left all alone, and I came to decide that I would no longer care...' Winter brooded in silence, feeling down and heavy from recalling that particular memory.


'So, before I get left behind this time around, I will just draw my line as early as now.'


Still, it will be much better if nobody in school knows that this Marcellus Lexington has a connection with her.


With that in mind, Winter finally decided to pull herself together and flee the scene at once. She made a dash for the school gates, completely forgetting about her ice cream as well as the crowd around her. 


Right then, Marcellus is about to step in and pass through the entrance. As a result of her last-minute retreat, she ends up heading in the opposite direction that he is going in.


'Good! He didn't notice me! Now, I'll just have to turn to a corner!'


Everyone back at the scene is taken aback to find Winter running away all of the sudden. While Courtney tilts her head in surprise and bafflement, Maxine raises a brow at how weird she is acting out of nowhere.


"Hey, Winter, what about your ice cream?!" the blonde exclaimed.


"What's with the rush, Winter?! Getting the shivers now, huh?!" the redhead shouted as well.


With them calling out to her like that, her supposedly perfect retreat takes a bad turn.


Right before they can completely miss each other, Marcellus looks at where they are looking at and ends up locking eye contact with Winter. His eyes widened as he caught sight of her slipping away while hers did the same the instant she found him turning to her. 


Even then, she carries on with her escape and takes her leave in a haste.


"Ms. Agreste!" Marcellus called but to no avail.


Courtney and Maxine were able to get a glimpse of him before he turned back around and rushed out of the gate. With Winter getting away, which is no doubt on purpose, he goes after her all the way to the street but only to find her still sprinting. He knows that she heard him, but even then, she did not halt on her tracks even just for a second.


"Ms. Agreste! What're you running away for...?!" he shouted at her in confusion.


"You're seriously treating me like a stranger now?!"


Right then, Winter turns for a bit and looks back at Marcellus. She then sticks her tongue out like a child - obviously messing with him. That struck him dumbfounded for a moment. 


And in the end, all he could do was make an incredulous look and let out a loud groan in annoyance.


"Ughhh... This girl is one unpredictable existence."
