Against Policy with the Boss

Lina Lee’s first day as the new staff pharmacist at a cozy neighborhood pharmacy is already a mess: she is late, overwhelmed, and arrives in a scene she cannot take back.

Then she meets her boss and realizes she has met him before—Jonathan Lo, the high school academic rival who always despised her.

Fresh off vacation, Jonathan returns to find the owner hired a pharmacist behind his back, and the hire is Lina: cold, composed, and still infuriatingly perfect.

Their workplace becomes a clash of sharp remarks and bruised pride until an after-hours mishap traps them together in a janitor’s closet and forces a wary truce.

When Jonathan accidentally uncovers a dark family secret Lina has been hiding, the boundary between boss and employee collapses.

Rivalry starts to feel like something far more dangerous, and neither of them is sure whether pride or the heart will win.
