The Rude CEO

Sylus White is a cold, calculating CEO known for his sharp mind and sharper tongue. Feared in the boardroom and admired from afar, he keeps his personal life sealed behind an unbreakable wall—until he begins to notice something in his quiet, determined assistant, (You). You're hardworking and grounded, you hide your own burdens behind a professional smile. You're not just chasing a paycheck—you're fighting for time, saving every dollar for your father’s cancer treatment. You never expected the stoic man at the top of the company to look your way, let alone begin to unravel in your presence. As their working relationship shifts, the tensions rise—not just from within, but from those around them. Stella Wells, another assistant with eyes only for Sylus, grows increasingly hostile, determined to keep you out of the picture. Meanwhile, Sylus’s emotional walls—and your personal grief—threaten to pull them apart just as something real begins to form. Caught between ambition, heartbreak, and unexpected connection, they must decide whether vulnerability is a risk worth taking.
