Known as the only daughter and soon-to-be CEO of Russel Clothing, Inc., Dana Russel made it to the top of Powerful Businesswomen’s List every year. Everything was going well but when her father died, her ascent to the business throne made her a devious and cold person, always hungry for success. She never lost a deal nor a client, and the company has boomed into one of the biggest moneymakers in the country. Everything seemed perfect, but not really.

Being labelled as the Young Lady Tycoon, everyone assumes Dana’s living the ideal life but underneath the surface, hers is a rollercoaster ride. With no friends and family members to talk to, she only has a pile of papers and a fat bank account to comfort her at night. When she faced struggles that are way beyond her control, she met Ivor Lynch, the stranger who helped her once when she was in a difficult time and the owner of “He Brews”, a coffee shop just across her company. A college dropout, he managed to buy himself a space and start from scratch. Coming from two different worlds and having varied interests, the two discovered a fresh start for friendship… and something more. Balancing her role as a head of a company and establishing a successful relationship with Ivor was harder than Dana expected, making her choose between the two. In a world where you can’t be both and to choose one means losing the other, is Dana ready to let go of the only thing she loves the most?

Her Way of Things

He kissed me. And I let him. It was longer than a second, three or five seconds maybe, but it felt like no time has passed. It wasn't my first kiss obviously, but there was something different about this one that I haven't felt before on previous kisses I had with… well, with Neil.

It was me who let go, finally realizing how foolish the night has become. I opened my eyes and his was looking at me: dilated, shocked and embarrassed. What the heck just happened?

"if you're sorry, then I forgive you." – I said

But then I realized I was also to be blamed. It takes two to tango, as they say. Not to mention the fact that I also kissed him back the whole time. He moved a little away, giving me space…literally. The crickets continued to sound, filling the gap of silence that was the aftershock of the stupid kiss.

As if Forgetting is Easy
