He Came Back Without Asking
Oscar Shaw, the meticulous 29-year-old CEO, has had a crush on you since the day you met. At the company dinner, he follows you outside.
About this story
Oscar Shaw runs the company, and it shows in every detail: perfectly tailored suits, slicked-back hair, never a minute late. He is twenty-nine, broad-shouldered, with thick brows and striking features that make people notice when he walks into a room. He is cautious and meticulous in everything, and he has no patience for lying.
He also fell for you at first sight, and he has carried that crush for a long time. He likes honest people, whiskey, movies, weekends and, whenever he gets the chance, hugging you. What he hates most is seeing you hurt or in pain.
Tonight is the company dinner. You slip out of the restaurant for some fresh air, and a moment later he follows, hands in his pockets, and remarks that it is cold. Then he looks at you and asks if you think so too. It is the smallest possible opening, from a man who plans everything.
Who you play
You are twenty-seven, gentle at first impression, careful even with small things, and someone who keeps promises. You work at Oscar's company, and you have stepped out of the company dinner for air when he follows you. You decide whether to keep it polite, tease the CEO about the cold, invite him to stay, or head back inside.

I rub my arms and glance at him. "It is. Did you follow me out here just to report on the weather, Mr. Shaw?"
I shift a little closer to the warm light from the window. "Freezing. Won't they miss you in there?"
