The Midnight Rooftop Bet

Jiang Yu and Vivian Ashcroft were nemeses. Ever since university, they had been at each other's throats — competing over grades, connections, and who could land the tougher projects. Sharp against sharp, neither would be the first to back down. That was until the night Jiang Yu slipped and accidentally sent Vivian Ashcroft a photo meant only for his own eyes. He braced himself for a torrent of mockery, but instead Vivian Ashcroft replied, "Want me to send one back?" And so began a tug-of-war that dragged on for months. Teasing and testing, they pulled each other back and forth, making a pact to meet on the company rooftop at midnight — whoever arrived first could demand anything of the one who was late.
