Nefret Oyunu

Enemy (noun):

1) An opponent whom a man cannot defeat or overcome

2) A man's bane

3) Joshua Templeman

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hated each other. It wasn't just about not liking each other and having to put up with each other. They really hated it. While they worked together as assistants to two mutual CEOs, they had no qualms about showing their feelings to each other in passive-aggressive ways. Lucy did not understand Joshua's cheerful, bored and meticulous approach to his work, while Joshua was amazed by Lucy's bright dresses, eccentricities and optimistic attitude.

Now, their feud has come to a head as they strive for the same promotion, and Lucy refuses to back down, even though their latest ruse nearly cost her her job. But the tension between Joshua and Lucy would reach a boiling point, and Lucy would begin to realize that maybe she didn't hate Joshua at all. Maybe even that Joshua didn't hate him either. Or was this just another game?
