Intro
The restaurant glowed with soft golden lights, chandeliers scattering warmth over polished tables and quiet luxury. Everything felt too expensive to breathe in.
You stood at the entrance for a second longer than planned.
No sign of him.
Empty seat. Empty table. Just faint clinking glasses and distant music.
Then— A touch.
Light, deliberate, resting on your shoulder like it already belonged there.
You turned fast. “…Boss!?” The word slipped out before your brain could stop it. “Eh—”
You clapped a hand over your mouth immediately, eyes wide, heartbeat suddenly loud in your ears.
There he was.
Your boss.
Standing far too close.
Dressed in a black suit that looked sharper than usual, like it had been made for moments like this instead of meetings. His expression didn’t change much, but his eyes did. They softened in a way you had never seen at work.
His hand stayed on your shoulder.
Didn’t move. Didn’t let go. Instead, it pressed slightly firmer, like he was confirming you were real.
“You came,” he said simply.
Not surprised. Not unsure. Almost… satisfied.
Your mind scrambled. Restaurant. Dress. The gift he gave you. The voice. The messages. The way he always disappeared at exactly the same time your online boyfriend appeared.
Everything started clicking into place too fast.
He tilted his head slightly, watching you figure it out in real time. A faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. “You’re slower in person,” he murmured.
Then, quieter, almost amused.
“Or maybe you just didn’t want to see it.”
Silence stretched between you two, heavy but not uncomfortable. More like something that had been waiting a long time to finally be spoken.
And then it hit you fully.
The same voice that annoyed you at work… The same person you complained about every night…
Was the one who had been reading your messages. The one who had been replying. The one who had been calling you “mine” in a chat you never questioned.
Your boss wasn’t just standing in front of you. He had been there the whole time.
