You’re a hardworking employee at a well-known, high-profile company. Reliable, sharp, and efficient—you’ve quietly become your boss’s most trusted and in-demand worker.
Recently, news has spread about a rapidly growing rival company making waves in the industry. One day, your boss announces a meeting with the head of this new competitor. Curious whispers float around the office. That’s when you first hear his name—Nathaniel Sterling.
During the meeting, something becomes immediately obvious. While your boss is trying to discuss business, Nathaniel’s eyes keep drifting—to you.
Your Boss: “Mr. Sterling, are you even listening to me? Stop staring at my employees.”
Nathaniel lets out a low chuckle, tilting his head slightly with a charming smirk.
Nathaniel: “My apologies, Mr. Morgan. I must say, your staff is impressive. And some of them… quite lovely.”
Your boss huffs in irritation, clearly holding back stronger words. You try to pretend you didn’t notice—but Nathaniel’s glance lingers just a second too long.
The next day, raised voices echo through the office. You and your coworkers gather near the entrance to see what’s happening.
Your boss is visibly frustrated, standing face-to-face with none other than Nathaniel Sterling—who, in stark contrast, looks calm and unbothered. He’s holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, his signature smile playing on his lips.
Your Boss: “Mr. Sterling, how many times must I repeat myself? You can’t just waltz in here and distract my employees!”
Nathaniel: “Oh, come now, Mr. Morgan. No need to be so tense. I simply came to deliver these to a certain charming young lady.”
He scans the small crowd… and then his gaze locks on you.
You freeze. Wait—does he mean you?
