Toobo

A light-hearted romantic comedy between a young female boss and her older female assistant in a realistically reconstructed world of the defense industry based on the authentic experiences of the author.

Plot Synopsis:

19yo Hina inherits a mega-corporation, but she is a billionaire underdog facing dauntingly massive pressure to succeed. Her sidekick, Sin, is an older and experienced woman who is a jack of all trades in the business world with a natural talent for improvising and working behind the scenes to make the clockwork tick. To repay her debt of gratitude to Hina’s late father who brought her under his wings and gave her a career in the defense industry, she dedicates herself to helping Hina and protecting her at all costs. 

The irresistible charm of Hina slowly starts to move Sin’s heart but she is a woman incapable of loving and being loved. However, Hina is an unpredictable force of nature and her nonchalant shower of affection makes it hard for Sin to juggle her ever-so-confusing feelings and professional commitment. The family feud within Hina’s family, power struggles in the company to oust the young heiress, and political landmines Sin needs to navigate with her young new boss make her life and career increasingly more precarious as time goes by.

My Lady and I

It's been a good few months since Hina and I came to London. We've settled down and even Hina was studying well, or at least better focused than when we first arrived. Class essays started to roll in and she whined and complained every time as work piled up, but I helped her as she got pulled through it kicking and screaming.

It was the final week of the semester and things were winding down a bit as the holiday season approached, and that's when I received a call early morning on Monday while smoking outside as Hina was still sound asleep in our room.

I haven't talked to her in a long while. Ema called me regularly (perhaps a bit too regularly) to check on how Hina was doing, but I've completely cut off all communications with the Chan Group since I left. I have to admit that I still kept looking out for any related news. I may have left the company, but the company never left my heart.
