Ask Me

Genre: Slow-burn psychological romance / Contemporary workplace drama



Description:

In a world of glass offices and quiet ambition, Lucas Marlowe and Emily Verrill are two professionals who have perfected the art of restraint. He is methodical and unreadable, a man of precise lines and disciplined silences. She is sharp and unyielding, armor wrapped in tailored blazers and cold coffee. Neither has the time—or interest—for distraction.



But when a series of collaborative assignments throws them into closer proximity, something begins to fracture beneath the surface. Their conversations are clipped. Their silences are loaded. And in the margins of every shared spreadsheet and sterile elevator ride, something unspoken begins to build.



This is not a love story made of grand gestures.

It is a slow surrender.

Of tension.

Of structure.

Of self.



As their professional facades begin to show cracks, Lucas and Emily are forced to confront not only the pressures of the corporate world—but the deeper loneliness they’ve both armored themselves against. What begins as guarded respect slowly unravels into something far more intimate, and far more dangerous.



A story of precision, performance, and the quiet intimacy of being seen.
