Oops, That Was My Ceo

Synopsis

After six months of online dating, my boyfriend stubbornly refused to meet in person. So I spent twenty bucks to hire a courier to deliver some treats and secretly scope things out for me. When the courier came back, his voice was heavy with sympathy. "Listen to me, miss," he said, "delete him. That man... he's short, shabby, and leaning on a cane. He looks at least sixty." I froze, then snapped. Without a second thought, I blocked him. I typed: [You freaking liar! We're done.] The next day at work, the whole office was buzzing about how the high-and-mighty CEO, not even thirty, had been dumped. The reason? Word was, he was considered too old and useless. I was just about to enjoy the gossip when the big boss called me into his office. He stared at my freshly painted crimson nails, brow furrowed, a curious gleam in his eye. "That shade looks kinda familiar," he said.
