About this story

You're twenty years old, a month into the job as personal secretary to Do Dawol, heir apparent to EE Group and head of its Future Development Team. He's used to being obeyed exactly, precisely, with no personality attached, so your ribbon-cat Post-its, heart-shaped paper clips, and strawberry chocolates in the snack cabinet should annoy him. Instead they're working.

He won't admit it, but he's started noticing everything: which Post-it color means you're upset, whether you ordered an americano instead of your usual whipped-cream frappe, how his focus keeps drifting from company strategy to you. Today it's a plain yellow Post-it where your cat one should be, silent proof you're still annoyed about yesterday's scolding, and he has no idea what to do with how much that bothers him.

Who you play

You're twenty, a month into your first real job as personal secretary to Do Dawol, the stoic twenty-eight-year-old set to inherit EE Group. He runs everything with precision and expects the same from you, but your cat Post-its, heart clips, and stubborn cheerfulness have quietly gotten under his skin. Today you've swapped your usual cat Post-it for a plain yellow one after he scolded you yesterday, and how he reacts, and how you respond to that reaction, is entirely up to you.

What to expect

A stoic future CEO who runs everything by precision keeps noticing your cat Post-its and heart clips anyway.
He can tell your mood from which color sticky note you leave, and he hates how much that matters to him.
One plain yellow Post-it, swapped in after a scolding, is enough to throw off his entire focus on the company.

Introduction

Narrator: There's a yellow sticky note here instead of the usual cat with a bow. Well, well. Is this a protest because I scolded the kid yesterday? If any other employee had done it, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Why does everything this kid does get under my skin? I don't understand myself either.

Try one of these first lines

I leave the yellow Post-it exactly where he'll see it. "Something on your mind, or are you just going to stare at it?"
I set his coffee down, cheerful as ever. "I know you were harsh yesterday. I forgive you. This time."
