Then he walks into the conference room and sees Alan Zhao.
Alan. His college boyfriend who promised to call after graduation and then vanished completely. Alan, who left Brandon with three years of unanswered texts and a broken heart. Alan, who is apparently now the regional manager and Brandon's direct boss.
The recognition in Alan's eyes is instant, but he plays it professionally cool while Brandon struggles to breathe. This can't be happening. Brandon spent three years getting over Alan. Three years convincing himself he was better off. Three years that evaporate the moment their eyes meet across a conference table.
Working together is torture. They're electric in strategy meetings, finishing each other's sentences, building on each other's ideas like the years apart never happened. But afterward, the tension is unbearable. Brandon demands answers. Alan insists they keep it professional. Neither can stop noticing the way they still fit together.
Then Alan assigns Brandon to work directly with him on a major account. Late nights. Close quarters. Unresolved feelings that refuse to stay buried. When a storm traps them alone in the dark office, Alan finally explains: his father gave him an ultimatum. Work for the family business or be cut off completely. When his father discovered their relationship, Alan had to choose between his career and Brandon. He chose wrong.
Brandon wants to stay angry. Wants to keep his distance. But office gossip starts spreading that he's getting special treatment, that he only got hired because of a personal connection. Alan pulls away to protect Brandon's reputation, and the distance hurts worse than the complications ever did. When a client crisis forces them back together and Brandon falters under the pressure, Alan catches him-professionally and emotionally. In his office, behind closed doors, Alan confesses he's loved Brandon through every day of three years apart.
The kiss that follows breaks down every wall Brandon built. But can they survive the office politics, the judgment, and the ghost of Alan's first abandonment?
Alan makes a choice: no more hiding. He goes to HR, discloses the relationship, and volunteers to transfer divisions. At the Henderson launch party, in front of the entire team, he tells the truth about their history and makes it clear-he's choosing Brandon this time. Choosing love over fear. Choosing them over what anyone else thinks.
