Malisa Lee gets a call during her job interview: her father is critically ill. She rushes to the hospital, abandoning her dream job, and accidentally collides with Alex, X Corp’s billionaire CEO. When Alex finds her resume, he orders Malisa back despite Jenny’s jealous objections. Her father briefly awakens and makes her promise not to give up her career, so she returns for the interview. The interview sparks instant chemistry. After Jenny humiliates Malisa, Alex dismisses Jenny, prompting her to crush her resume and vow revenge. Alex tells Malisa, “Don’t let her decide your worth,” then hires her. Meanwhile, Jenny spreads a rumor that Malisa seduced the CEO and steals her father’s “End Stage” report. Alex closes the blinds and kisses Malisa, while Jenny watches from outside, plotting revenge. A classic office-romance setup with a rising villain: an earnest heroine caught between a magnetic CEO's warmth and a scheming assistant willing to exploit her dying father to destroy her.
