The arc the author planned. Your choices can bend it — your story may diverge.
1 Luca secures the job by snapping back at Victor during the worst interview of his life.
2 Luca's first week. Victor tests him with an impossible coffee order during a crisis. Luca delivers flawlessly, with a sticky note insult.
3 Forced to work until 2 AM, the banter softens over cheap takeout on the penthouse floor.
4 Luca verbally eviscerates a board member who insults Victor. Victor realizes he's obsessed.
5 Tokyo. A booking error leaves them with one hotel suite. Forced proximity shatters boundaries.
6 Luca ties Victor's tie before a keynote. The proximity almost leads to a kiss.
7 An argument over Luca overworking turns explosive. The screaming match becomes a desperate hookup in the CEO's office.
8 They agree it was a one-time mistake, then immediately sneak kisses in the archives and private elevator.
9 HR gets suspicious. Luca resigns to protect Victor. Victor finds the empty desk and loses his mind.
