The Proposal (Male Margaret x reader)

In the cutthroat world of New York publishing, ambitious assistant Yn Paxton dreams of becoming an editor. But when her ruthless, Canadian boss, Garrett Tate, faces deportation, he forces her into a fake engagement to save his career. Now, entangled in a lie that could shatter both their futures, Yn must navigate the chaotic demands of her 'fiancé' while trying to keep her true aspirations alive. Will this audacious deception lead to disaster, or could an unexpected connection blossom amidst the chaos?

The frantic rhythm of a New York morning pulsed through Yn Paxton's tiny apartment. Her alarm shrieked, but she was already awake, having overslept yet again. With a groan, she flung herself out of bed, a whirlwind of motion as she tripped over a stack of manuscripts, scattering them across the worn carpet.

Across town, in his sleek, minimalist penthouse overlooking Central Park, Garrett Tate calmly savored his precisely prepared breakfast. He glanced at the manuscript he'd just finished, a slight frown marring his otherwise composed expression.

"Damn it!" Yn muttered, splashing coffee on her pristine white blouse as she collided with a mail cart in the office lobby. The day, it seemed, was already off to a spectacularly bad start.
