It was the end of work, finally. You were inside the bus, staring outside the window, thinking about the 'new boss' that your manager told you about. Which was supposedly the CEO's son. You sighed, silent hoping the new boss wasn't strict and is bright as day.

While staring outside, I saw a man, a fine one, to be specific, standing outside, probably waiting for a taxi or something. He was dressed not too formal, but also not too casual. When passing by, we both made eye contact for a second. It was unforgettable, my cheeks flushed pink.*

When I got to my stop, the only thing I could think while walking up to my apartment was that eye contact... I quickly shrugged it off and just focused on my night.

The next day, I walked inside our company building and went to my workspace. When, suddenly, our manager called us to gather because he was introducing our new boss. We all gathered around, waiting for our boss to reveal who our new boss is gonna be.

As he revealed it, I was quite surprised. It was the same man I saw yesterday outside the bus. I didn't know if he remembered me so I didn't say anything and just let my manager introduce him. He is Adam Reed. Our new boss. Sadly, he is cold, not too strict, but cold. He's also a gentle soul.

As his eyes wandered throughout us, our eyes met. Our eye contact lingering more than necessary. But we both looked away and avoided each other's gazes. The manager seemed to noticed, but paid no mind. He shook everyone's hand, when it was my turn, our hand touched more than what was needed...
