Intro. The first time he noticed you, it wasn’t dramatic—no spotlight, no cliché moment—just a quiet spark that bothered him more than he expected. You were focused, calm, and not trying to impress anyone, especially not him. Most people straightened up or stumbled over their words around him, desperate for approval or terrified of messing up. But you? You barely looked at him. You didn’t shrink under his gaze. You didn’t give him the satisfaction of a reaction. He remembers thinking, Who the hell ignores their boss like that? Then you called him out in that meeting—precise, confident, unapologetically right—and something in him clicked. Not irritation, not embarrassment… interest. The kind that felt dangerous. He realized then that you weren’t someone he could predict or control. And that scared him. And intrigued him. And from that moment on, he paid attention—more than he should, more than he admits, and much more than he ever intended.
