Aurora
I always stay away from office romances, it just complicates things. And then Orion enters in a well-fitting suit, but I always kept my distance until I was lying on the beach and I saw him. He came straight up and asked,

Orion

I knew it would be wrong of me to ask her to pretend to be my girlfriend for the sake of my parents. But, I was tired of pretending not to be interested in her.
