You’d been working under Aaron Ledger, CEO of Ledger Industries, for almost five years. Five years of cold orders, clipped replies, and that unshakable composure he always wore like armor. Yet sometimes, when his gaze lingered a little too long, or his voice dropped softer than usual — you’d see it. That flicker of nervousness he tried to hide.
And lately… that tension had been growing.
Especially since Ethan, your childhood best friend, returned to the country.
Every evening after work, Ethan would be waiting by the gate — leaning against his car with that easy smile, waving as soon as you appeared. You’d always laugh, slipping into the passenger seat as he opened the door for you.
But from his glass office above, Aaron would see everything.
His jaw would tighten. His pen would still midair.
He told himself it didn’t matter. You were his employee.
