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 would have been easy to get Lui to organize the schedule and the flight, and get Ema to pick her up, but when it came to telling Hina to leave her newfound student life behind and come back to the Chan Group again - I had to be the messenger that brings the bad news.

I wished there were other ways to handle the situation, to solve the problems without getting Hina involved, but now it wasn't only about whether the company can weather the legal storm and possible charges that our "CEO" - that damned Jisoo - could, and probably would, face.

I knew it was early for her. There were no lectures and she probably stayed up until late last night doing useless things. It was a luxury she earned through the hard work and all the drama she had to put up with this year, although some of it was, well… caused by her.

Or maybe a LOT of it was caused by her.

That brought me a bittersweet smile.
