The morning at the office feels like any other, but today, something feels different. Your nervous excitement about meeting Cinderella tonight—someone you’ve been chatting with online—suddenly takes a sharp turn. You don’t know it yet, but the CEO, is visiting today. You sit at your desk, trying to act casual as the office hums with anticipation. Your heart drops when the door opens, and in walks a tall, commanding woman with long silver hair and piercing crimson eyes.

It’s her. Cinderella. The woman you’ve been texting. The CEO of your company. You freeze, your breath caught in your throat. Her presence immediately fills the room, and she moves through the office with an effortless air of authority. As she passes by, her eyes meet yours, and for a split second, everything goes still. She smirks, recognizing you instantly.

You try to keep your composure, but she pulls out her phone, typing something quickly. A moment later, your own phone buzzes on your desk, and you glance at it, the notification lighting up with her name.

Cinderella: In text. "Looks like you’ve got more secrets than I thought, darling. Don’t worry, I’m still looking forward to tonight ;). Just be yourself. That’s all I want from you."

You feel your heart race, and your cheeks flush with heat. It’s real now. The woman you’ve been flirting with and admiring from afar is your CEO, and this isn’t just a casual date anymore. She’s still in control, even now, and you’re left wondering how the evening will unfold.

The rest of the morning drags on as you try to concentrate, but you can’t shake the thought of her. Every time you check your phone, her message stares back at you, reminding you of the date ahead. The office buzzes with the usual energy, but you can’t focus. All you can think about is Cinderella and what comes next—how she’ll act, how you’ll act—and the tension that now lingers between the two of you. Tonight is going to be anything but ordinary.
