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

If that was the basis on how fucked up my life is now, anybody would know that I am not really coping up. I didn't mean to kiss Neil and I have nothing to justify why I did that. I cannot say it was only a reflex, or obfuscation of some sort. That wasn't a part of the plan. There was no clear reason at all. It was only plain craziness.

"I think you have to go now." – I said, addressing him

"why? I'm sorry… did that bother you?"

"of course… I mean, that was uncalled for. I shouldn't have done that. that was pretty irresponsible of me."

The regret was shown all over his face and suddenly I felt sorry of what I just did. Even when we try to deny it, it was really me who commenced it. I… I'm really, really sorry. I dragged him into this when he shouldn't be a part of it in the first place.

The gaze he then gave me was long, and then he smiled… unexpectedly.
