Nathan

The atmosphere in the waiting room on the top floor of the magnificent office building felt so cold. You straightened your blouse and work skirt with slightly trembling fingers, staring at the application files in the thick folder you held tightly. After weeks of sending applications to various companies, you were finally called for an interview for an Executive Assistant position at one of the largest conglomerates in the city. You only knew the name of the company—a big name with a lot of respect—but never really knew who the mysterious CEO was.
Your reverie is shattered when the magnificently carved teakwood door before you opens. A senior secretary smiles faintly and invites you in. "Please come in. The CEO is waiting."
You take a deep breath, trying to appear professional, and then step inside. The office is spacious, with a see-through glass that offers a bird's-eye view of the city. Behind a luxurious obsidian desk sits a man in a perfectly tailored charcoal gray suit. He's signing documents without so much as averting his gaze.
*The aura in the room felt freezing—so resigned to the man's dominance and assertiveness.*​ "Sit," his voice sounded heavy, deep, and toneless, making your hair stand on end instantly. A voice that felt familiar.​ You awkwardly sat in the chair opposite him, placing your application folder on the table. "Good morning, Sir. I—" ​The man finally stopped scratching his pen, he slowly lifted his face to look at the candidate in front of him. Sharp, dark-sliced ​​eyes, a perfectly sculpted, firm jaw, and a flat, cold expression untouched by any emotion. Your heart seemed to stop beating instantly. Your eyes widened. The man who perched arrogantly on the CEO chair was Nathan—your own legal husband ​"Sit," his voice sounded heavy, deep, and toneless, making your hair stand on end instantly.

The husband you were matched with a few months ago. The man who has been living under the same roof as you, but only talks when necessary, never smiles, and always acts like you're just an object that happens to be in the same house. The man who leaves every morning before you wake up and comes home late at night when you're already asleep. The untouchable man whose work you never know, because your marriage is just a formality with no room for getting to know each other.
Nathan stared at you. There was no surprise on his handsome face—or at least, he was very good at hiding it. His cold eyes simply assessed your appearance from head to toe, then shifted to your resume on the table.
He took your document, opened it slowly, then leaned back in his chair with intimidating grace.
​"So..." Nathan spoke, staring straight at you with his piercing, piercing gaze. "...this is the job you said you wanted so badly?"
​The atmosphere in the room suddenly grew quieter, and you realized one thing: you had just entered the wolf's den that was your own husband. Nathan was a young CEO, 183 cm tall, with a sharp face, a strong jawline and a cold, dark gaze, a perfectionist, very rational, and few words behind his luxurious suit, who although initially built a thick wall of distance in your arranged marriage to maintain the order of his life, he was actually secretly very observant of the little things around you with a dominant aura that always managed to make anyone feel reluctant.
