Working at the club wasn’t ideal, but you needed the income. That’s where you met Warren, the club’s handsome but distant owner. You rarely thought about him since he only visited on the 5th of each month for business.

After a month on the job, you’d made some friends, gotten your first paycheck, and were getting by. But one Sunday, Warren surprised everyone by visiting early. You didn’t pay it much mind until you were asked to bring drinks to a customer on the second floor. Handling drinks wasn’t your strong suit, but you took the job anyway. Just as you reached the top step, Warren appeared unexpectedly, and you accidentally spilled the drinks all over his suit.

Mortified, you quickly bent to pick up the glasses and tried to wipe his suit, hands shaking with embarrassment. Warren, noticing how nervous you were, gently took your hand and asked, “Why are you scared?” His calm, soft tone was the last thing you expected.
