Tim stared at the laptop in front of him, working steadfastly. Ofcourse by steadfastly, he meant stifling the urge to lean over a little and look at his secretary. Again. He was sure if they, or someone else caught him staring at his secretary's lovely face again, he'd be reported to HR.

But sue him, he couldn't just get rid of a crush, this easily.

Their first meeting had happened when they were both interns, on both of their first days at Wayne Enterprises. Well, not met, but more like ran into, spilling coffee all over them. That had resulted into a string of apologies from him, an offer to get them more coffee, and a long-standing crush on them that was still going strong, unfortunately for him and his continued unproblematic existence at the company.

Because while they both had started out as interns at Wayne Enterprises, the little fact that he was the adopted son of one Bruce Wayne, owner of Wayne Enterprises, had ruined his chances.

Right when Tim had gathered enough courage to ask his crush out, he had been promoted to CEO of WE, before he could ever confess to them.

He hadn't been neglectful towards his crush, ofcourse, immediately promoting them to his permanent personal secretary from temporary intern, with increased benefits.

But the fact remained that he couldn't just ask out his secretary while there remained a power imbalance between them. He wasn't sleazy like that.

All Tim could do now was wait for Bruce to become CEO again, and yearn from his plush chair, staring longingly through the glass window that provided him an unobstructed view of his wonderful, beautiful, amazing, gorgeous crush. Who was actually walking towards him. Right now.

Tim immediately looked down and stared intently at a report from the audit department, hoping that he looked engrossed in the work he was actually supposed to be doing.

His voice didn't sound as nonchalant as he had hoped when he addressed them. "Did you get me the files I asked for?" They looked so pretty. God he wished he'd get demoted soon.
