Daniel sat at his big desk, looking out at the city through huge windows. His office was all sleek and modern, showing off his power as the CEO of a big company.
Employees outside his office moved quickly, doing what he told them to do. He felt in control and liked the feeling of being the boss. Everything he decided had a big impact on the company's future.
But, as he watched everyone working hard, you could see a moment of satisfaction in his eyes. Underneath his confident look and fancy CEO title, there was a guy carrying a heavy past. Even though he wore expensive suits and had a big job, there was a part of him that just wanted someone to really understand him.
Daniel sighed, leaning back in his leather chair. Amaz who is his secretary ,entered the room with a folder in hand.
"I need those reports on my desk by noon. We have an important board meeting," Daniel said, his voice carrying the weight of authority.
Amaz nodded, "Of course, Boss. I'll have them ready for you."
Daniel got up , As they turned to leave, Daniel's gaze hardened , and he spoke with a rough tone
"This meeting is crucial to me. I need you to observe each and every person with complete confidence. If anyone does something suspicious, I want them removed from the meeting room quickly and quietly"
Amaz briskly walked to match Daniel's speed and replied, "Yes, boss. I will make sure of it." Daniel entered the meeting with an authority that exuded power. The people in the room stood up for him, a mix of respect and fear in their expressions. Daniel took his seat in the CEO's chair and gestured for everyone else to sit with a commanding motion of his hands.
Daniel initiated the meeting, and a girl stood up for a presentation. She began explaining, all the while giving Daniel a seductive look, her dress revealing a bit too much skin.
Daniel did nothing but observed her every move with a calm expression. Suddenly, he got up and walked over to Amaz, standing in front of him. Amaz looked confused and scared.
"Did you remember what I told you before?" Daniel asked. Amaz replied with a yes, and Daniel said, "Then what are you still waiting for? Why didn't you remove her when you know whatever she is doing is unprofessional?" Daniel turned around, looked directly into the girl's eyes, and continued, "That content you just described is not even useful enough to sell at a minimum price. I don't want to waste any more time here." Daniel walked toward the exit, and with authoritative power, he screamed, "You're fired!"
Daniel, holding his head, made his way to his office, entering the room. He received a call instructing them to conduct an interview for the personal assistant position. Heading to the shelf, he picked up a file. Just then, there was a knock on the door, which he acknowledged.
The door opened, revealing a beautiful woman. Daniel eyed her from head to toe, noticing the confusion on her pretty face. Politely, he stepped out, allowing her a proper view. During this, their eyes met in a captivating eye contact. He found himself unable to look away, captivated by her for some inexplicable reason. Only when he realized his actions , he break the eye contact and took his seat.
Reviewing her file, he learned her name was Isabelle valentino. As he began asking her questions, he couldn't help but be impressed by her confidence and professional attitude.
The interview came to an end and Isabelle got up to exist As the door closed behind Isabelle after the interview, Daniel couldn't shake the lingering intensity of their interaction. Her confident entrance and impressive responses during the interview left a lasting impression.He leaned forward, deep in thought. "That was quite an interview," he muttered to himself, acknowledging the unexpected intrigue he felt toward Isabelle.

On her first day as Daniel's personal assistant, Isabelle entered the bustling office, maintaining a professional demeanor. Mark, a colleague, greeted her in the hallway.
"Hi, you must be Isabelle, the new assistant, i am mark " Mark said, eyeing her with a hint of curiosity.
Isabelle extended her hand with a confident smile. "Yes, that's me. Nice to meet you, Mark."
Mark smirked, "You're in for a ride, working for the CEO. He's a tough boss-strict and expects nothing but the best. You gotta watch your step around here."
Isabelle nodded, "I appreciate the heads up. I'm here to do my best and contribute."
Mark leaned in, his tone turning conspiratorial, "Just a friendly advice, steer clear of any unprofessionalism. Mr Santoro doesn't tolerate it. Cold-hearted, some might say."
Isabelle raised an eyebrow, maintaining her composure. "I'll keep that in mind. It's important to maintain professionalism."
Mark chuckled, "Smart move. But who knows, maybe you'll be the one to crack the ice. He's got a soft spot somewhere, I'm sure."
Isabelle offered a polite smile, deflecting the hint of flirtation. "Well, I'm here to assist and ensure things run smoothly. If you'll excuse me, I have some tasks to attend to Ceo"
As Isabelle continued down the hallway, she couldn't help but wonder about the enigma that was Daniel. The stories of his strictness and coldness with a mix of hottest , she felt during the interview.
Isabelle took a deep breath before knocking on Daniel's office door. Upon his commanding "Enter," she stepped in, her gaze meeting his sharp eyes.
"Good morning, Mr. Santoro . I hope you're well," Isabelle greeted, maintaining her professional tone.
Daniel, engrossed in his work, glanced up briefly. "Morning, Ms Valentino . Sit down. Let's go through today's agenda."
As they delved into the tasks at hand, Daniel's demeanor remained cool and focused. He scrutinized every detail, his expectations clear. Isabelle, feeling the weight of his exacting standards, responded with professionalism.
Daniel, occasionally glancing over his glasses, maintained eye contact that seemed to pierce through Isabelle's composed exterior. She felt a subtle pressure, an unspoken challenge to meet his standards.
Mark's words echoed in Isabelle's mind-Daniel was known for his intensity and unforgiving nature. The air in the room seemed to carry an unspoken tension, and Isabelle found herself navigating the conversation with caution.
"Ms Valentino , attention to detail is crucial here. I expect nothing less than perfection," Daniel stated, his gaze unwavering.
"Yes, sir. I'll ensure everything is precise and meet your standards," Isabelle replied, her voice steady despite the undercurrent of intimidation.
As the conversation progressed, Isabelle couldn't help but notice the contrasts in Daniel's personality-cold, calculated, yet undeniably magnetic. The eye contact, intense and challenging, hinted at a complexity that went beyond the intimidating facade.
Exiting his office after the meeting, Isabelle couldn't shake the feeling that working for Daniel would be more than just a professional challenge.
Isabelle entered her new office, located right beside the CEO's office. She took a moment to survey the room before beginning to arrange everything to her liking.
