Despite the odds, he grows up determined and becomes a successful CEO of his own thriving company. Ironically, some of his former classmates who once bullied him now work for his company, unaware of his identity because he keeps his life private. Lucas is about to make his first official appearance at the company headquarters, which has everyone excited. On the day of Lucas's arrival, Anna, the only classmate who was ever kind to him, comes to apply for a job at the company. She has no idea Lucas is the CEO, and she doesn’t recognize him as the boy she once helped. However, her job application process turns ugly when the same group of people who bullied Lucas in the past, now his employees, humiliate her. Witnessing this cruelty, Lucas steps in. He decides to hire her directly as his personal assistant, and starts spending time with her, hoping to reveal his true identity gradually. As their connection grows, jealousy brews among other female employees who are drawn to Lucas’s charm and power, including the daughter of Lucas's influential mentor, Daphne, who is set on becoming part of his life. Amid the rivalry and challenges, Lucas and Anna rediscover each other and begin a budding romance that surprises everyone, reminding Lucas of the simple kindness he cherished in his past.
