(Y/N)'s POV

A gentle shaking stirred me from my dreams as I drifted into a rare moment of peaceful slumber amidst the chaos of my life. Slowly, I peeled open my eyes, the remnants of sleep clinging to my senses.

To my surprise, Sana knelt before me, her presence a stark contrast to the solitude of my surroundings.

"(Y/N), wake up" she said softly, her voice cutting through the haze of sleep.

I rubbed my eyes and met her gaze, mustering a sarcastic tone to greet her mockingly. "Well, well, if it isn't my persistent employer" my voice laced with bitterness.

Rolling her eyes, Sana urged. " Cut the act, (Y/N). Can you be serious for once?"

"What are you doing here? Another attempt to persuade me to move to your mansion? My answer is absolutely not. I'd rather be homeless" I said, my guard firmly in place.

Sana sighed, her voice heavy with disappointment as she implored me to be serious just for once. "I really want to help you. Please, consider it" she pleaded, her tone tinged with desperation.

I remained unmoved. My demeanor as cold as ever. "Just go home. A humble secretary like me doesn't need charity from you" I retorted, my words dripping with disdain.

Sana huffed in frustration. Her actions speaking louder than words. Ignoring my jibe, she reached into her blazer and pulled out my phone.

"Here. I'm sorry for keeping it. I know you need it" she said, holding it out to me, her apology barely audible over the tension between us.

I eyed the phone warily, a mix of frustration and resignation bubbling within me. "Keep it. I don't need it anymore" I muttered.

Sana's frustration boiled over. Her determination shining through her exasperation."(Y/N), please. Let me help you. I'm genuinely concerned."

I shook my head, my resolve faltering. "I don't need your help, Sana" I insisted, though doubt gnawed at the edges of my certainty.

With a dramatic flourish mocking her, I buried my face beneath my blazer, feigning indifference.

"But you need help, (Y/N). Please just consider it. You're being stubborn and I'm trying to do what's best for you" Sana insisted, her voice soft yet firm.

I remained silent, pretending to be asleep while Sana continued to plead with me. I couldn't fathom why she wouldn't just leave me alone. Didn't she understand that I didn't have the luxury of time to entertain her request? I could managed to settle my rent without anyone's help.

I felt Sana's hand on my shoulder, squeezing it gently as she pleaded once more for me to consider moving to her mansion. Her touch broke through my facade, stirring a sense of warmth within me that I tried to suppress.

"Just consider it. I don't want to see you like this. Please, I'm asking you to to think about it" she implored, her voice soft and earnest.

I continued to feign sleep, hoping that Sana would take the hint and leave me in peace. But she was relentless, sensing my pretense and refusing to give up easily.

"I will stay with you" she declared, her words cutting through the silence with unwavering determination.

" I don't care how long it takes- days,weeks, months or even years-I'll be here until you agree to come with me".

I blinked in disbelief, caught off guard by her unwavering resolve. Sana, my eccentric employer was willing to go to such lengths for me?

Unbeknownst to me as I pretended to sleep, Sana curled up beside me, using her blazer as a makeshift pillow. Her presence so close yet so comforting, stirred something within me. She had vowed to stay here until I agreed to her request.

**Time skip a few hours later**

I finally relented, removing my blazer from my face to steal a peek at Sana. There she was, curled up beside me, using her blazer as a makeshift pillow in her peaceful slumber. The sight stirred a pang of guilt and regret within me.

Watching her innocent face in repose, I felt a warmth spreading through me, thawing the ice around my heart. Her kindness so freely given and had blinded me to its true depth. Memories of Tzuyu and Song Kang's words echoed in my mind. They were right. I had been foolish not to listen to my friends.

I gently tapped Sana's shoulder, rousing her from her peaceful slumber. Her stirring and rubbing her eyes revealed the delicate beauty of her features to me.

With a soft smile, I finally spoke,"I'll come with you" I declared, the words carrying a weight of sincerity I hadn't felt before.

Sana's eyes widened in surprise and she sat up as if disbelief clouded her mind."Are you really sure?" she asked, her voice tinged with hope.

I returned her gaze with a smile, my heart lighter than it had been in ages. "I really want to move to your mansion, right now" I affirmed.

Sana's eyes sparkled with happiness, her infectious joy filling the room as she clapped her hands in delight. With a giggle, she pulled me into her embrace. I found myself enveloped in her warmth, shocked by the depth of her enthusiasm.

She buried her face against my neck, her embrace tightening around me as she apologized for upsetting me earlier. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. Please, forgive me" her voice was muffled against my skin, filled with genuine remorse.

Her words resonated with sincerity, melting away any lingering tension between us. I pulled her closer, encircling my arms around her waist as I basked in the warmth of her embrace.

"It's okay. It's in the past" I reassured her softly. With gentle strokes, I ran my fingers through her long, silk-like hair, relishing in the comfort of her presence.

Softly continued to murmur apologies against my ear, Sana pressed a tender kiss to my cheek, sending a shiver down my spine. Eventually, we pulled away from each other but the connection between us remained strong.

A smile broke across Sana's face, her eyes sparkling with relief. "Thank you, (Y/N)" she said softly, her hand reaching out to grasp mine.

Her laughter infectious as we shared a moment of unexpected camaraderie. Without hesitation, she helped me to my feet. Her touch grounded me amidst the whirlwind of emotions.

Together, we made our way to the waiting chauffeur. Our hands intertwined-a silent promise of solidarity in the face of uncertainty. And as we embarked on this new chapter together, I felt a sense of gratitude for the unexpected ally by my side.

Oh, the joys of being helped by my dear enigmatic boss. Truly, there was never a dull moment in our journey.
