Sofia Mirano had never been nervous about work before. But today felt different.
The office smelled faintly of fresh coffee and polished wood, the hum of computers and printers filling the quiet space.
She straightened her blouse for the third time, glanced at the pristine stack of files she had prepared, and tried to steady her racing heart.
Because across the office sat Leo Rivera—CEO of Rivera Group. Cold. Commanding.
And undeniably magnetic. The man who seemed to belong to the world of suits, meetings, and control, and who had never, not once, let anyone see past the perfectly composed mask he wore.
Sofia reminded herself to keep things professional. No small talk. No staring. No... feelings.
But when he looked up from his desk, his sharp eyes catching hers for just a fraction of a second, Sofia felt a strange pull—like the world had paused around them. And in that quiet, ordinary moment, she didn't yet know that life as she knew it was about to change forever.
Because sometimes, love doesn't announce itself.
Sometimes, it waits in the coffee, the files… and the quiet moments in between.
