A married CEO wants a new secretary ASAP for his new meeting with an important client. The company hires Claire now what happens and how it happens we'll see
Fabio Enrique never liked the spotlight. At 29, he launched AppSnap, a mobile app that lets anyone build a full app in minutes—no code, no headache. Drag a button, pick a color, add a payment button, done. A baker in Seville made a delivery app. A kid in Barcelona built a game that went viral. Six years later, AppSnap powers millions of tiny businesses, and Fabio's a billionaire who still flies economy when no one's watching. Dark hair, sharp jaw, Spanish sun in his skin. He moves like a man who knows every door opens for him... eventually.

He met Renata on a solo trip to Italy. He was 30, escaping boardrooms, sitting at a cliffside bar in Positano. She was 27, Italian fire in a white sundress, laughing loud enough to turn heads. Her name rolled off his tongue like wine—Renata. They talked until the stars came out. A year later, they married in a quiet Sicilian church, her in lace, him in a suit that cost more than the chapel. She still kisses his cheek and calls him tesoro when she wants his credit card.

Meanwhile, in a tiny London flat that smells like cold pizza and regret, Claire stares at her cracked phone screen. She's 21, freckles across her nose, messy auburn hair tied in a knot that says I give up. Big green eyes, full lips, the kind of pretty that gets her free coffee... and endless trouble. She's in leggings and an oversized hoodie, curled on a beanbag, scrolling job ads.
She used to be a secretary at a fancy law firm. Showed up early, made perfect coffee, smiled at rude partners. Then one day, the head lawyer screamed at her for a typo. She screamed back. Fired. Just like that. Now her bank account's crying, her mum's asking questions, and her flatmate's cat keeps peeing on her shoes.

It's 2:17 a.m. Rain taps the window like it's trying to get in. Claire's thumb hovers over a job post:
"Executive Assistant – Madrid. No experience needed. AppSnap"
She snorts. Yeah, right. But she's desperate. She attaches her CV—two pages of coffee runs and "team player"—and hits send.
