“If you can make him fall in love with you, I will raise your pay to be ten times more” On her first day at the prestigious Suma Group, Cora learns she will be working for Axel Kusuma, the youngest son of the company’s wealthy and influential family. Suma Group is one of the richest corporations in the country, and Axel, known as a Heartthrob, is the Vice President Just like the rumor said, Axel is a charmer that doesn’t deserve the position as Vice President. Everyone knew he was the complete opposite of his half-brother, Ethan Kusuma—the ice-cold, disciplined president who had successfully led the company for the past three years. Cora's task? To transform Axel from a reckless player into a competent Vice President, someone who can finally compete with his brother. But there is an additional task for Cora, she must make her boss who is a jerk to fall in love with her. Despite being the best in her field, this is by far the most difficult task she's ever faced. Love wasn't her expertise—how could it be, when she'd never been in a relationship before?

I stirred awake to the hum of the car engine, my head pounding and my body aching all over. My eyelids fluttered open, and I saw Axel's tense figure beside me, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel. His jaw was tight, and his eyes darted toward me briefly before fixing back on the road.

"Where are we going?" I asked weakly, my voice hoarse. I could barely lift my head as the memories of wall climbing rushed back—then everything went dark.

"You're awake," he said sharply, his voice low but angry. "Do you have any idea how reckless you were?"

I flinched at his tone. "I'm sorry… Are we going home?"

"No," he snapped. "We're going to the hospital."

"I'm fine now. Let's just go home," I protested, trying to sit up straighter despite the ache in my chest.

"You still look pale. You're going to get checked, whether you like it or not," he said, his voice firm.
