You work at Dunder Mifflin and you, Jim, Toby, and Gabe pick the new regional manager. He is very charismatic and talks a lot about sex. Somehow he talks his way into becoming the CEO of the company. You just can't help but think that the new CEO is...
We had to have Andy approve our costumes for Halloween. I had no clue what to be. I thought about the classics: a zombie, a mummy, a vampire. I wanted to do something different though. I never put much effort into my costume but Robert is going to be at the party. I know he's married but I can still dress nicely just for the hell of it.
I chose Morticia Addams from the Addams Family. She's appropriate but sexy. Perfect for work... and Robert. Do I like Robert? I have thought a lot about it and yes. I do like him. It won't go anywhere and I know that, but at least I'm finally admitting it to myself. I won't tell anyone though. I can't.

I walked into the office with my costume on. As soon as I walked in, I got a bunch of compliments from everyone. It felt nice.
Why am I wearing a different costume this year? I thought it'd be a nice change. I'm not wearing it to impress anyone. Don't be silly.
I really want Robert to say something nice though. A compliment from him would absolutely make this day 100% better.
Speaking of the handsome devil, he walked in right when I thought that. He had his son with him, he was dressed as a zombie. Robert introduced him and we found out his name was Bert. He then asked if he could use a computer to check a hurricane. I offered mine to the little zombie and went off into the kitchen. As I sipped my peppermint tea from my mug, I heard the door open.
"That was very kind of you, (Y/N). Bert didn't thank you, but I do," Robert said as the door clicked behind him.
"It was no problem," I replied as I turned to face him.
"And might I add," he paused while looking me up and down, "that costume looks absolutely ravishing on you.".
I felt my face flush and I laughed, "W-well, uh, thank you ve-very much. Your suit looks good- on you," I looked at him, smiling.
He grabbed one of the dangling pieces on my sleeve and played with it while staring at it. I heard him mutter something but I didn't catch what he said. What is he doing? This is just- wow. I can't keep my eyes off of him. He's so entrancing.
His mouth opened as though he was going to say something but instead, he closed his mouth and continued to toy with the fabric. Suddenly he dropped the piece and walked even closer to me.
He looked me in the eyes and said, "I don't want to frighten you," then he smiled and left the room, going the annex.
What the hell was that? That was so mysterious and yet so... sexual? It was not unwanted just very unexpected.
I walked around the office chatting with people every so often. I heard him asking many people about their fears. Is that what he was going to say to me? But instead, he said he "didn't want to frighten me". Without realizing it, it was time for the party so I headed to the conference room.
