Infatuate

"Look at you, pining over him like some love-starved loser. It's quite sad, the way he chooses not to see you."

Everyone in the office knew. Suzy's wild infatuation was that pathetically transparent, devoting aching years adoring him from afar. That was, everyone except the beautiful, giant, tatted man himself. Carlson barely acknowledged her, and only if he was forced to within polite society.

Until the company party where his sturdy body carted her small frame on his back, made her feel as tall as him, enabled her to see things she wouldn't had.

He was the CEO's personal right-hand man… until he wasn't. Promoted to an executive out of the blue, Suzy couldn't possibly believe there could be anything between Carlson and her now.

Carlson proved he was a man of many talents, but his most ambitious battle was convincing Suzy he was all she needed.
