The Charming New CEO

He was so close that I was even afraid that he would hear my pounding heartbeat.

I knew my face must be as red as a tomato even without looking at it.

It was not that I couldn't resist the temptation. I was certain anyone would cave if they had such a gorgeous specimen before them.

"Matt... Matthias..."

I truly couldn't comprehend why I would go all out when I shouldn't speak and stammer when I should.

"W-What do you mean by... No, h-how could I dare... Why don't I just..."

Matthias peered at me and raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze reflecting his amusement.

"What else do you not dare to do?"

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with his words. The fact that I was still standing here in one piece was pretty much already a miracle.

I lowered my head in shame and embarrassment, not daring to make eye contact with him.

Then, I heard him sigh softly.

"I'm the one who's afraid."
