我开始在一家公司担任助理，却不知道它是由一名叫做多米尼克·鲁索的黑帮老大拥有的。他开始对我表现得异常友好，而对其他人，包括他的家人，却很冷漠。我在那里也工作的好朋友告诉我，之前的助理都没能干长，因为多米尼克总是对他们很粗鲁。我仍然在努力弄清楚他为什么对我这么好。我的朋友认为他喜欢我，但我不知道像他这样的为什么会对我感兴趣。
Imogen Harper
She is an assistant at a company owned by a mob boss. She is naive, determined, and insecure. Imogen is surprised to find herself favored by the mob boss, Dominic Russo, who previous staff members had dreaded. She struggles with her own selfdoubt and her friend Emily's warnings about Dominic's character. As she navigates her unexpected rise in status and perceived affection from Dominic, she grapples with the possibility of a forbidden relationship and her own vulnerability.
Dominic Russo
He is the mob boss of the Five Points Mafia. He is enigmatic, ruthless, and commanding. Dominic is known for his harsh treatment of employees but shows unusual kindness towards Imogen, whom he has chosen as his new assistant. His past is shrouded in mystery, and he exudes an aura of power and control. Despite his feared reputation, he seems fascinated by Imogen and goes to great lengths to make her comfortable and welcome in his office, which is a stark contrast to his typical demeanor.
Emily
She is Imogen's best friend at work. She is perceptive, protective, and outspoken. Emily warns Imogen about the mob boss Dominic after noticing his unusual behavior towards her. She has a history with Dominic from when they were both younger and how he had treated her poorly before. Now, she fears that Dominic may feel differently about Imogen and encourages her to be cautious due to his feared influence and potentially dangerous intentions.
It was a little past eight when I got to the office the next day.
I’d spent the entire morning sulking, a little annoyed that I’d be treated differently just because Dominic Russo happened to like me.
I didn’t know what to make of it, and I couldn’t understand why he’d want to treat me any differently in the first place.
He was my boss, and that was it.
When I walked into the office, Emily spotted me first and immediately got up from her desk.
"Hey," I said with a small smile as I walked over to her.
"Hey yourself," she replied back, eyeing me curiously.
"What’s wrong?"
I asked as I sat down at my desk.
"You didn’t hear?" she asked, a little confused.
"Hear what?"
I asked further, not having any idea what she was talking about.
"About Dominic?" she said, a little surprised that I didn’t know anything.
"What about him?"
I asked further, a little clueless.
"He treated you kind of weird yesterday," she said after exchanging a few words with another staff member who had just walked in.
I immediately remembered how he had held my hand for those few seconds and smiled slightly at him.
"Yeah," I said nonchalantly.
"He seems nice."
Emily stared at me for a few seconds before bursting out laughing.
I noticed that her laughter had attracted the attention of a few other staff members, so I tried to get her to be quiet.
I shuffled a few papers on my desk and pretended to work, all the while trying to get Emily to stop laughing.
Through the corner of my eye, I noticed movement near Dominic’s office.
His door was cracked open, and I immediately wondered if he had heard our conversation.
My heart rate picked up a little as I thought about it.
Emily was still chuckling softly, not noticing the change in my mood.
I wondered if I should warn her that Dominic might have heard us but decided against it.
I didn’t want her to think that I was being paranoid.
The door slowly opened wider, and I quickly grabbed a random file from my desk and stood up, ready to look busy in case Dominic walked out of his office.
Emily leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
"He's been asking about you, you know," she said, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
I froze, the file slipping slightly from my grasp.
My hands shook a little as I stared at the file in front of me, not really seeing the text.
Emily’s words kept echoing in my head.
"He’s been asking about you," she’d said.
I wondered what she meant by that.
What could Dominic possibly want to ask about me?
I glanced at his office door, which was still open, and caught glimpses of his silhouette moving behind his desk.
He seemed engrossed in something, oblivious to the commotion he had caused.
The other employees kept stealing glances at me, their whispers barely audible but clearly about the boss’s interest in me.
I tried to focus on the papers in front of me, but my mind kept wandering back to Emily’s words.
What did Dominic want with me?
I decided to organize the papers on my desk and started sorting them into piles.
As I reached for another stack, I accidentally knocked over a cup of pens, sending them rolling all over the floor.
The sound of clattering pens drew everyone’s attention, and I quickly bent down to pick them up.
As I gathered the pens, I noticed that several sheets of paper had slipped out from under my desk and were now scattered across the floor. I sighed and began to collect them one by one, trying not to make a scene.
Just as I was about to gather the last sheet, a pair of polished shoes came into view beside me.
I looked up and saw Dominic kneeling down next to me, helping me pick up the papers.
I remained frozen, watching as his large hands gathered the pens.
His expensive suit wrinkled slightly as he knelt down, but he didn’t seem to care.
The office fell silent except for the soft clicking of pens against the floor.
Dominic worked methodically, his movements precise and efficient.
His cologne wafted through the air, subtle but distinctly masculine.
As I reached for a pen that had rolled under my desk, I felt his fingers brush against mine.
I jerked back, bumping my head on the desk.
Dominic steadied me with a firm grip on my shoulder, holding me in place.
He didn’t let go immediately, his touch lingering for a few seconds longer than necessary.
I looked up at him, our eyes meeting for a brief moment.
He spoke in a low voice, meant only for me to hear.
"Focus on your job."
I nodded, my heart pounding as he stood up and returned to his office without another word.
