English Summary/英文概要： The secretary is the most dangerous person in the room.
Christine Butcher is the perfect secretary. Efficient, discrete, loyal. She’s spent her life protecting her boss from the chaotic, demanding world, cocooning her in calm and order, all with a devoted smile.
Mina Appleton has built an empire out of nothing. She’s the nation’s sweetheart, sharing her particular brand of domestic bliss to the world – at a price, of course. But now her empire is on the verge of collapse, and there’s only one woman she can trust: her loyal secretary, Christine.
How far will Christine go to protect Mina? And, when the chips are down, how far will Mina go to save herself? Between them, they’ll both learn just how dangerous a secretary can be.
