They say wine gets better with age. And being the assistant to the most powerful CEO in the country is far from easy… but I love it.

When someone from his past resurfaces with a dangerous blackmail, threatening to destroy everything he’s built, Johari becomes his strongest support… and his greatest weakness. A relationship between them is taboo. Forbidden. Andrew is nearly forty-five. Johari is twenty-eight. He’s her boss. She knows it. They both feel the attraction. Can they keep their feelings a secret… or will desire expose them both? **** ©Work registered with Safe Creative.

Astrid waited for Joshua all night as she usually did... And the first thing she received, instead of a cold greeting, was the divorce papers. “Why?” were her only words when she saw the agreement. Joshua looked at her indifferently. “It's enough. It's a waste of time to continue this marriage. In the first place, if it weren't for my grandfather, I wouldn't have married you... Sign it!” he shouted. Astrid, her eyes filled with tears, hurriedly took the divorce agreement and put it in her mouth. “I don't want a divorce!” Astrid cried. Joshua didn't respond, he just looked at her and walked away. After all, it was difficult to get into the heart of someone like Joshua. She stood firm in her decision. She had married to take care of her mother's health... Until she lost her too, leaving her with nothing left to hold on to. “He doesn't feel anything for me,” she said, wiping her teary eyes. “In the future, I will never appear in front of him again.” She took her luggage and, accompanied by a heavy snowfall, disappeared along with her footprints in the snow. She left behind only her signature on the divorce agreement. With a trembling body, she escaped. Five years later, a little boy reminded her of the person she tried to forget.
