Not a Crush! (Or Is It?)
Added 2025-03-01 19:00:09 +0000 UTCAdrian is still fuming after learning that Ethan, the newly arrived expat worker, is exempt from the Gender Equality Act and allowed to dress like a real man. As he sits in a meeting, his attention keeps drifting toward Ethan—his crisp suit, his confident posture, the way he naturally commands respect in a room full of new girls. The sight frustrates Adrian to no end. Why was he stuck in skirts and blouses while Ethan was allowed to be himself? It wasn’t fair.
But when Celine catches him staring, she immediately pounces, teasing him mercilessly about having a crush. Emily joins in, making playful remarks about Adrian getting flustered around a strong, masculine presence. Adrian, horrified, protests in his usual soft, feminine tone, insisting he absolutely does not have a crush on Ethan. But with his breathy voice, delicate gestures, and the way his manicured fingers nervously twirl his hair, he isn’t exactly helping his case. As Emily and Celine giggle at his reaction, Adrian feels his heart racing—but whether from embarrassment or something else entirely, he refuses to admit.
