When Did NCT Introduce The Boss Concept?

Irene Ang is doing everything she can just to survive. Alone in life, with no family to lean on, she’s nearly breaking her back working just to avoid the shouts and scoldings of her perfectionist boss. But it isn’t just work that’s making her life difficult. After years of playing the fool and enduring so much, she caught her boyfriend with another woman. At the very party she had organized herself. Yet in the middle of her chaotic life, there is her boss, Tirso Gotiangco, a CEO, billionaire, cold, calculated, and intimidating. A man who doesn’t care about feelings, only results. As long as you’re productive, you’re useful. If you fail, you will truly hear the most painful words from him. And to him, Irene is a liability. Weak. Someone who doesn’t belong in the world they live in. They don’t get along. They never have. But with every night they spend together because of overtime, during presentations, and in elevators that suddenly feel too small when they're together… something is slowly changing. Irene learns to stand up for herself. And Tirso? Maybe he isn’t as heartless as everyone thinks. He’s powerful and untouchable. She’s hurting and trying to rebuild herself. Until one mistake changes everything, one night, one almost-kiss, one decision that could destroy both their careers. Irene promised herself she would never love again. But what if the man she despises… is the same one who would fight to the death to protect her? “She’s under my wing now. If you want her gone, you’ll have to go through me first.”
