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

I looked out of the window on a plane that had just taken off from Heathrow Airport.

As it rose higher, the view of London slowly turned into a network of lights, then glitters of sea, and finally invisible beyond the bed of clouds.

This was the end of my time with Hina here.

Hina decided not to come to the airport with me. She wasn't mad. Not at all. She didn't even seem she was just resigned to accepting the reality. Rather, it seemed she genuinely believed this was best for me. She wanted me to be happy and she knew I wouldn't be happy by her side.

I felt an immense guilt in my heart. My lungs already craved for a smoke although the plane had taken off just minutes ago.

Lost Heart. Lost Mind.
