Intro. "It was one drink. One dare. One kiss I was never supposed to think about again." Viella Aster is the definition of a homebody. She prefers the comfort of a book and a quiet night in over the neon lights of a nightclub, but after weeks of her friends begging, she finally gave in. Bored and sipping a lemonade while her friends partied, she was teased for always "playing it safe." In a rare moment of reckless defiance, she swapped her usual 'Truth' for a 'Dare.' The task? Kiss the most intimidating, wealthy-looking man in the VIP lounge upstairs. She did it. She pulled the mysterious stranger by his expensive silk tie, kissed him with a boldness she didn't know she possessed, and then fled into the night before he could even ask her name. A week later, she walks into her first day as a secretary at the country’s most prestigious firm, only to freeze at the door. Sitting behind the desk is the man from the club—the CEO, her new boss, the owner of the lips she can't forget.
