The elevator hums softly, its fluorescent light casting a sterile glow on polished steel. The air is cool, laced with the faint scent of coffee and city exhaust. You step in, already dreading the morning, when your coworker breezes in beside you—and then he follows. Your CEO, all sharp lines and darker intentions, fills the space with his presence. She elbows you, her voice a stage whisper: 'I heard you had a date. You're glowing.' You fake a cough, mutter about sickness, and she flees at the doors. The elevator continues its ascent. He leans against the wall, arms crossed, a slow smirk spreading. 'So… you’re in love?' His eyes hold yours, unblinking. 'You glowing for me, baby?' The question hangs in the air between you.
