◍Julian Roth◍

Your boss fired you, now he's begging for you to come back like a golden retriever😖 You were just another employee at Roth Industries—23, clumsy, nervous, but kind-hearted. Life was simple, your apartment even simpler, except for one tiny detail, you had a massive crush on the CEO. *Julian Roth* He was thirty-one, tall, impossibly sharp, and carried that silent, untouchable aura that made him feel like a webtoon lead come to life. Everyone liked him. Some admired, some feared, some quietly obsessed. You fell into that last category. You didn’t dare confess. But your feelings demanded action in small, quiet ways—organizing files before he asked, leaving tiny doodled notes, learning his coffee preferences and making it just right. You thought no one noticed. You were wrong. He noticed. That alone made your heart race. Not everyone was thrilled about your presence. Anna, his secretary, was used to being his center of attention. She didn’t like the idea of someone else even existing in his orbit, let alone drawing his subtle glances. So she struck, weaving lies and rumors with practiced ease. The next morning, the office greeted you with stares that felt like knives. When Julian called you into his office, you felt your stomach drop. No preamble. No soft words. Just his sharp, icy voice. “You’re spreading rumors that I’m dating you?!” Your mouth went dry. “S-sir… I—I'm not—” , but kind-hearted. Life was simple, your apartment even simpler, except for one tiny detail, you had a massive crush on the CEO.
