The Enchanted Architect

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and for a moment, neither of them moved.

Ethan stood just a few steps ahead, his posture relaxed

Sophia with her heels cracking step in the elevator looking at Ethan , not daring to make a sound , not daring to overthinking what she has just don't

It was long that her car hurriedly parked at her garage, tossing her bag on the sofa she rushed to the kitchen because the needed her favorite snicker doodles to calm herself

Sophia sits at the corner of her kitchen, phone pressed to her ear, her fingers tapping nervously on the countertop. Her best friend, Jaime, picks up on the second ring.

"Hey, what's up?" Jaime's voice is warm

"Jaime, I've done something stupid," Sophia mutters, pacing now. "I... I agreed to go on a date with Ethan. You know, the CEO of the company I work for."

Jaime's voice is immediately sharper with concern. "Wait, hold up. You agreed to what? Are you crazy? Sophia, you ditched me at the party yesterday

"I know! I know," Sophia says, exasperated. "I'm an idiot! He was all charming and sweet, Jaime you know I don't know how to experience those feeling

Jaime's response is a mix of disbelief and amusement. "Girl, you've basically handed over your soul to a billionaire. What's next? Are you going to marry him too?"

Sophia groans, slumping into a chair. "I don't know! I swear, I thought I could keep it professional, but now I feel like I'm in over my head. You know how he is, Jaime. He's intense. He's got that... that power over everyone. And I'm just a mess."

Jaime's voice softens. "Soph, if this guy's so powerful and you're feeling like this is too much, you need to back away, like, right now. You're not some trophy or charity case. Don't let him pull you in with that CEO charm."

Sophia's eyes flicker toward the clock. "I know, I know. But it's hard. I don't know why I feel like this

" You know what, I'm next to the plum bar . Let's meet there and chat about this alright babe ?

We'll get drinks, have fun, and you'll stop stressing. Just remember to breathe."

Sophia smiles a little, the reassurance from Jaime helping, even if just a little. "Thanks, I need that. I'll see you there in a bit?"

"Yep, I'm on my way now. Hang tight."
