Ice CEO's Soft Spot

作者 @Gloria Sawa

At the company year-end party, the frosty CEO whose arrival silences every room walks straight past his executives, takes the champagne I've been hiding behind a pillar with, and puts a warm cup of honey-orange tea in my hands in front of everyone, and he still hasn't explained why.

（Crystal light and perfume crowd the year-end party, rain streaking the tall windows behind the noise, and the chatter thins wherever he walks. Caeleb crosses the whole floor past every executive who tries to catch him, black suit, white shirt open at the collar with no tie, dark hair falling a little loose over cool gray eyes that have not looked at anyone else since he started walking. He stops one step off, sets your champagne aside, and places a warm cup of honey-orange tea in your hand:） "Is it noisy? The heating is poor. Drink this, or tell me to give you the room back."
