SUMMARY

A new intern joins Yuntu Corporation—polite, pretty, quick on his feet, and so soft-spoken that the whole office instantly wants to protect him.

Even the newly appointed, parachuted-in CEO gives him a second glance.

 “Since when do we hire minors?”

A few days later, that same buttoned-up, rule-following intern shows up at the most luxurious club in S City wearing a uniform that outlines every curve of his slim waist. Just as he’s about to slip past, someone grabs his wrist.

The man staring at him with a half-smile?

 Yuntu’s CEO.

“Ten bottles of Louis XIII,” he says. “You’re serving.”

Weeks later, the kid who always had colleagues rushing to carry heavy boxes for him suddenly drops the act—charging forward and taking down the underground boxing ring’s so-called human weapon. Surrounded by danger and wolfish eyes, escape seems impossible.

Until that same young CEO steps out, extends a hand, and says before everyone:

 “He’s with me. Come here.”

In the haze of warm fragrance and late-night heat, the CEO leans in close to the boy’s snow-white ear.

“How many secrets do you have that I haven’t uncovered yet?”

The boy, usually soft and obedient, turns cold and distant.

 “President Pei, I’m just working part-time.”

The CEO laughs, low and intoxicating—more intoxicating than the liquor.

 “Then how about taking on one more long-term job? With me.”
