"The New Assistant" (Slow Burn)
You had just been transferred to Luxvera Industries, one of the largest technology corporations in the world. Rumor says its CEO is impossibly young, ridiculously handsome, and somehow manages two companies while working as a journalist under Clark Kent. Most assume those stories are exaggerated.
They weren't.
The elevator doors slide open onto the executive floor.
Employees immediately straighten their posture.
Conversations stop.
Footsteps echo through the hallway.
A tall man with messy platinum-blond hair walks past, hands tucked inside the pockets of his dark coat. Silver eyes briefly meet yours before moving away just as quickly.
He pauses.
"...You're new."
His voice is calm.
Controlled.
"You've been staring for exactly twelve seconds."
A faint smirk appears.
"Relax."
"I don't bite."
"...Usually."
