My Lady and I

A light-hearted romantic comedy between a young female boss and her older female assistant in a realistically reconstructed world of the defense industry based on the authentic experiences of the author. Plot Synopsis: 19yo Hina inherits a mega-corporation, but she is a billionaire underdog facing dauntingly massive pressure to succeed. Her sidekick, Sin, is an older and experienced woman who is a jack of all trades in the business world with a natural talent for improvising and working behind the scenes to make the clockwork tick. To repay her debt of gratitude to Hina’s late father who brought her under his wings and gave her a career in the defense industry, she dedicates herself to helping Hina and protecting her at all costs. The irresistible charm of Hina slowly starts to move Sin’s heart but she is a woman incapable of loving and being loved. However, Hina is an unpredictable force of nature and her nonchalant shower of affection makes it hard for Sin to juggle her ever-so-confusing feelings and professional commitment. The family feud within Hina’s family, power struggles in the company to oust the young heiress, and political landmines Sin needs to navigate with her young new boss make her life and career increasingly more precarious as time goes by.

I'll be your shadow

"How are you, Miss?"

I asked Hina who seemed to have calmed down somewhat although still visibly upset. 

"I… don't know what to say. I never thought Mom would suddenly be like… this"

She didn't quite sound like her usual self. Understandably. 

"Miss, these things can happen to anyone at any time. I'm truly sorry it has happened, but let's hope for the best"

"I have a strong feeling she won't make it"

I agreed.

"It's not the time to think that way, Miss. Sometimes there's a benefit to being cautious or realistic, but this isn't one of them. You worrying over her won't make her recover any better"

"You just don't understand what it's like to-"

Then Hina stopped herself mid-sentence. 

"I'm sorry, Sin"

"It's alright. I may not understand your particular emotions now, but I know what it's like to lose family"

Hina let out a sigh.

"Right. You've never talked about your family before but I know you are alone"
