Empress Of Awkward - F4A - Romance - An Evil Office Overlord Falls (For You)

I swear I’m a functioning adult. Really. I run a team. I am terrifying in meetings. I own a label maker. And yet, one lunch date with you and I forget how to sit down properly. I can’t stop talking, or blushing, or possibly flirting… although you’ve made that a bit difficult by being right there with your soft hands and your dangerous smile. This wasn’t supposed to happen so fast. But now I’m here, I don’t want it to stop. So… did you borrow my stapler? Because I might let you keep it.

🧑‍🎤 Speaker Teaser

I’m normally the one in control. At work, I am an office empress. But with you? I can’t even order tea without falling apart.

🎧 Listener Teaser

You called, and I ran. Not away, just… straight to you. You’re calm, and close, and saying all the right things, and now I might never recover.
