Age is Just a Number

Summary

Alice, a dedicated professional, has spent the last eight years working tirelessly at a prestigious magazine company in Paris. She has sacrificed much of her personal life, leaving her daughter and elder sister in the care of others to focus on her career. Despite her unwavering commitment, she hasn't received a promotion in the last four years.

On a business trip to Brazil, Alice receives distressing news: a younger colleague is poised to receive a promotion she's longed for. Shocked and disheartened, Alice rushes to complete her work and boards a flight back to Paris. Due to an unexpected mix-up, a young college student named Maxi is upgraded to business class and finds himself seated next to Alice.

Absorbed in her thoughts, Alice barely notices Maxi until turbulence strikes during the landing. In a moment of fear, she instinctively grabs his hand, sparking a connection. For Maxi, who has never experienced such attention, this moment is life-changing, and he falls for Alice at first sight. However, he remains silent.

Upon arrival in Paris, Alice hurries to reunite with her daughter and sister, inadvertently leaving her pendrive behind. Maxi finds it and tries to return it, but Alice has already left. 

Back in Paris, Alice's sister suggests she meet a new suitor, but Alice, disillusioned and uninterested, refuses. At work, she faces the coldness of some colleagues but finds support in her friends, John and Claire. Claire soon discovers Maxi's identity and his unexpected connection to Alice.

As Alice navigates the challenges at work and her evolving feelings, she and Maxi must confront societal expectations and their own insecurities. In this heartfelt tale, "Age is Just a Number," love defies conventions, proving that true connections transcend age.
