I Don't Care Where I Work, I Just Want to Drag the CEO Down With Me

[Over-the-top CEO romance + absurd comedy + witty commentary + wealthy domineering CEO + everyone’s gone mad + fluffy no-brainer romance + sharp-tongued]

This novel is also called “My Years Working Side Jobs in a CEO Romance” and “I Was the CEO’s Nanny.”

In CEO romances, whether the CEO is pursuing love or putting the heroine through emotional and physical torment, there’s always an important, easily overlooked worker on the sidelines:

The housekeeper in the mansion when the CEO has the heroine imprisoned.

The family doctor on call whenever the CEO puts the heroine through emotional and physical torment.

The butler who smiles knowingly at the pairing when the gloomy, aloof CEO is saved, then delivers the classic line: “It’s been so long since I’ve seen the young master smile.”

And the assistant who pulls out a gold card when the CEO makes a grand romantic gesture, putting on a cold expression while basking in borrowed authority.

And

Lin Jialu works side jobs for all these CEOs.

Dealing with a heroine who creates a scene at every turn, a gloomy, unhinged CEO who’s almost a criminal case waiting to happen, and a downtrodden wage slave crushed by the powers that be, Lin Jialu doesn’t go mad in silence. She finally blows up at the dinner table:

The heroine from the angsty imprisonment romance knocks over the eight dishes and a soup Lin Jialu worked so hard to prepare.

The CEO says coldly, “Nanny Lin, make it again.”

Lin Jialu explodes: “That’s enough! I’ve had it! I’m your housekeeper, not your mother!”

“‘Nanny Lin,’ ‘Nanny Lin’, I’m six years younger than you. Who are you calling Mom?”

“Eat it or don’t, but if you won’t, get out! Who do you think you are, throwing away my hard work? If you did that in my home, my parents would beat you six times over!”

The CEO and the cool, stubborn heroine: “…”

Why are we a little scared?

From that day on, the CEOs realize that their capable assistants have changed.
