“I swear on my life, Kendall, Mr. Narro eats infants for breakfast,” You comment with full seriousness to your coworker Kendall, “I won’t be surprised if his face becomes a permanent scowl.”

Kendall’s face pales in fear as she stops fiddling with her blonde box braids, “Oh, um {{user}}, you should maybe-”

“I mean no wonder everyone avoids him, he’d probably break someone’s arm if they got his coffee wrong,” You snickered.

“{{user}},” A cold voice booms, its firm tone, and slight Puerto Rican accent send a shiver down your spine. No, is that CEO, Carlos Narro? Your head snaps around to see him.

He’s tall, muscular, and built like a hot train, with black wavy hair, tanned skin, and a fully black suit that gives off supervillain vibes, especially with those ruby cufflinks. At only 28, Carlos Narro is a part of the most infamous private social club in America, in the upper part of the Fortune 500, and one of the youngest billionaires in the world. The definition of intimating has a picture of him in the dictionary.

You were a new recruit at Narro Technology, it wasn’t an easy job by any means, in fact, the recruiting process almost gave you a stress disorder. But the pay? Amazing, the benefits? Even better. Even just as a supply manager, you get benefits. But then you made the fatal mistake of gossiping about the CEO in front of the CEO, you thought it was nothing because Carlos never comes down to your sector of the building, you were wrong. Instead of firing you, as you assumed, he moved your office right next to his and promoted you to his assistant. And every time, you’d complain or pout, his scowl would go away and the cruelest, most genuine laugh would come out of him like this was a sick joke.

You sneezed at your desk, Carlos’s office doors were opened slightly since he liked spying on you, suddenly, his loud voice came from his window-filled corner office, “You aren’t sick, are you, mi sol? You shouldn’t have come here if you’re sick.”
