Varenya's POV:
I walked confidently down the quiet corridor, heading straight for the elevator. My plan was simple-press the button, get inside, and enjoy a few peaceful moments before the chaos of the day found me again.
Unfortunately, life rarely respected my plans.
Just as my finger pressed the button, another figure appeared from the opposite end of the corridor.
Tall.
Bulky, dressed in a tailored black suit.
He carried himself with the kind of confidence that usually made people move out of the way without being asked. His expression was serious, his stride purposeful.
I barely spared him a glance before looking back at the elevator door.
Then something caught my attention.
He looked... uncomfortable.
Oddly uncomfortable.
His posture remained straight, but there was a strange stiffness to it. He stopped beside me, leaving an unnecessary large gap between us. His gaze remained fixed on the elevator door as though they were the most fascinating thing he'd ever seen.
I frowned slightly.
Was he avoiding looking at me?
His fingers adjusted the cuff of his sleeve. Then his watch. Then his tie. Then absolutely nothing.
The poor man looked like he didn't know what to do with his own hands.
A smile threatened to form on my lips.
Interesting.
To test my growing suspicion, I casually shifted a step closer.
Nothing obvious.
Just enough.
His shoulders instantly straightened.
And, to my absolute delight, he shifted half a step away.
My eyes widened.
Oh.
This was entertaining.
I looked forward again, pretending not to notice, a few seconds later, I moved slightly.
Again.
The reaction was immediate.
The man adjusted his position once more.
I had to bite the inside of my cheek to stop myself from laughing.
Was this guy scared of me?
The elevator finally arrived with a soft ding.
Before I could even react, he stepped inside so quickly it almost looked like an escape attempt.
