Between Drinks and Deadlines

Between Drinks and Deadlines

Selene Graham, after two years of struggling with unemployment and juggling multiple side jobs, finally lands a job as a secretary to the CEO of Stones Technology, a renowned tech company in New York. Overwhelmed with relief and excitement, she celebrates this achievement with her best friend, Maya. They hit one of the city's hottest clubs for a night of drinks, dancing, and laughter. Where she met Charles Stone though she did not know who he was as at that time After several rounds of shots, Selene, a bit tipsy, stumbles right into a tall, strikingly handsome man with a commanding presence. The chemistry between them is instant, and Selene, in her drunken haze, finds herself caught up in the thrill of the moment. One thing leads to another, and she wakes up the next morning in a luxury hotel room with no sign of her hot stranger, not even a letter left by the bed. Though slightly embarrassed, she brushes it off as a one-night stand with a stranger in the big city, assuming she'll never see him again. Selene’s first day at Stones Technology begins with excitement but quickly turns into shock when she meets the CEO—Charles Stones, a man with a reputation for being ruthlessly business-focused, cold, and unapproachable. As he walks into the office, Selene’s world shatters. The man standing before her is none other than her mysterious one-night stand. Charles immediately gives her a cold, professional greeting, showing no sign of recognition or acknowledgment of what happened between them. Confused and humiliated, Selene tries to make sense of how she could have slept with her new boss, the CEO of the very company she was desperate to work for. As days go by, Charles maintains his icy demeanor, treating Selene like any other employee, but there’s undeniable tension between them. Despite his distant behavior at work, small moments—lingering glances, brief touches, and a flicker of something deeper in his eyes—suggest that the night wasn’t entirely meaningless. Selene struggles to keep things professional, but she can’t help but feel drawn to Charles. Meanwhile, rumors about his personal life circulate around the office, making Selene wonder if the man he showed her that night was the real him or a personality he took on to live a life that is not his for the moment. Eventually, a business trip forces them to spend more time together, and the cracks in Charles’ cold exterior begin to show. He’s not the heartless CEO everyone thinks he is. Beneath his carefully constructed image lies a man burdened by the pressures of running a global empire and personal losses that made him shut out emotional connections. Selene and Charles grow closer during the trip, but complications arise. Selene’s job is now at risk as office gossip spreads about her connection to the CEO. She’s forced to make a decision: should she confront Charles about their night together and risk ruining her career, or keep things professional and let go of whatever feelings she’s starting to develop for him? Things got further complicated when Charles' past popped out. The tension reaches a boiling point when Charles, unable to hide his feelings any longer, confesses that he felt something real with her that night but has been pushing her away out of fear. He’s been hurt before by people who used him for his wealth and power, and his name. Selene, realizing her own fears about vulnerability and opening up, admits she feels the same. They decide to give their relationship a chance, but on the condition that they keep their work and personal lives separate. However, there is someone who has a vendetta against Selene who seems to be biding her time, awaiting a crack so she can weasel her way in. Will said person successfully cause complications or will Selene and Charles love stand the test of time? Or like the famous words of Lance Armstrong, will Selene and Charles be able to over come their challenges and have a second go at their love and give it their all?

The Three Great Daoists of China
The three famous mountains of Taoism in China were Mount Longhu, Mount Qiyun, and Mount Wudang. Mount Longhu was located 20 kilometers southwest of Yingtan City in Jiangxi Province. It was the place where Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengyi Sect, refined pills in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was also the birthplace of Taoism. Zhang Daoling's fourth eldest grandson, Zhang Sheng, went to Mount Longhu to settle down during the Western Jin Dynasty. The descendants of Heavenly Teacher Zhang had settled here for generations. Qiyun Mountain was located in Qiyun Mountain Town, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. During the Qianyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Taoist Gong Qixia traveled here to live in seclusion. During the Baoqing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, people who admired Taoism came to the mountain one after another and founded the Holy Zhenwu Temple in Qiyun Rock. Here, white clouds, strange peaks, secluded caves and clear springs constituted a fairyland. Wudang Mountain was located in Shiyan City, Hubei Province.
