Lia Santos was drowning. Her mother’s hospital bills were piling up, her savings were gone, and her third job interview this week just ended in disaster. She was desperate. She was tired. And she was five minutes late.Running through the glass doors of Reyes Enterprises, clutching a cheap coffee and a folder full of resumes, Lia didn’t see the man in the tailored black suit. She collided with him. Hot coffee splashed across his white shirt. Across the documents in his hand. Across a contract worth one billion dollars.The man didn’t yell. He didn’t curse. He just looked at her with eyes colder than ice and said three words that changed her life: “You’re hired.”Daniel Reyes is the youngest CEO in the country. Ruthless. Perfect. And he hates mistakes. He doesn’t believe in second chances. He believes in consequences. And Lia’s consequence is simple: become his personal assistant for six months. No pay. No excuses. One mistake and she’s fired… and she’ll owe him for the ruined contract.For Lia, it’s a nightmare. Daniel is strict, arrogant, and seems to find joy in pointing out every flaw she has. He’s always early. She’s always late. He drinks black coffee. She spills caramel lattes. He wants perfection. She is chaos.But six months is a long time to work side by side with a man like Daniel Reyes.Late nights in the office turn into shared takeout. His cold glares turn into quiet moments when he thinks she’s not looking. And the man who supposedly hates mistakes… starts waiting for her. Specifically for her clumsy mornings. For her terrible coffee. For her.Because somewhere between the deadlines and the board meetings, the yelling and the coffee stains, Daniel started to see her. Not the clumsy girl who ruined his contract. But Lia. The girl who stayed late to finish his work. The girl who smiled at the janitor. The girl who was fighting for her family.And Lia? She was supposed to hate him too. But how do you hate the man who brings you coffee when you’re working overtime? How do you hate the man who defends you in a meeting? How do you hate the man who looks at you like you’re the only thing in the room?They were never supposed to fall. A billionaire CEO and an ordinary girl with coffee-stained hands. It’s a contract. It’s temporary. It’s impossible.But the heart doesn’t follow contracts.Can Lia survive six months without losing her heart to her boss? Can Daniel learn that some mistakes are worth keeping forever?One coffee spill. One impossible contract. One love neither of them saw coming.---**This is a short story under 50 chapters.****Tropes:** Billionaire CEO, Office Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Sweet Female Lead, Secretly Soft Male Lead**Perfect for readers who love:** fast-paced romance, banter, emotional family story, and a happy ending
