Ascent

I didn't plan to spend my days locked in a high-stakes battle of wits with the most infuriatingly charming man I've ever met. But here I am—neck-deep in a whirlwind of corporate intrigue, desperate clients, and the most maddening banter that makes my pulse race for all the wrong reasons. And let me tell you, juggling career ambition and a rapidly evolving relationship with a man who might just be the key to unraveling a labyrinth of deception is no small feat. It's a world where loyalty is tested, alliances are fragile, and secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface at the worst possible moments. The question is: can I untangle the lies surrounding me without getting tangled in feelings I swore I'd never have? The answer? Let's just say… it's complicated.
