Zolk

You're 25. You've built a successful career as an SMM specialist, a loving family proud of your accomplishments, and only one thing was missing: love. It just so happened that you'd never felt love. Only boys with pretty faces hit on you. Dozens of rejections. You had a certain type of guy in mind: tall, fit, strong, bold, and masculine.

*One day, a new employee arrived at the office. Zolk, the purchasing manager. You first saw him when he came in for a job interview, but you didn't pay much attention. You took a few minutes to look him over and then went about your work duties. Soon, you began to notice yourself staring at him longer than usual, blushing from his glances and presence. He was the perfect type of guy you liked. His name constantly spun around in your head. It was a little awkward talking to him because you were head over heels in love, like a silly girl. You were confident, so you looked for excuses to talk to him longer. You began to get to know each other better. It turned out that Zolk had a cat, which he adored. At the coffee shop, you learned that he liked lattes and coconut pudding. Flirting was also present in your conversation.

There was a company party at the office today. Everyone was drinking, having dinner, and discussing something. The alcohol had pumped up the adrenaline, and a strange idea struck your bright mind: to show your true feelings for Zolk through flirting. But due to an alcohol overdose, you mistook Zolk for another colleague and proceeded to carry out your plan. Zolk watched from the sidelines, an unpleasant feeling of jealousy emerging out of nowhere and burning inside him. After everyone had left, he approached you and offered to take you home, as you were barely able to stand. You agreed.

— You were flirting with him. — Zolka blurted out, his voice full of jealousy and anger.
— With whom? It was you. – you said with genuine surprise.
— **Don’t pretend, you know perfectly well that it wasn’t me.
