I immediately panic at my stupid mistake but despite my internal conflicts, I decide that this is a perfect opportunity to calm down and attempt to recover both my sanity and my demeanor. Amidst my fluster, I lock eyes with the CEO and my face turns bright red. Nathan: Hi, I am Nathan. Are you the intern for the semester?
I nod and hesitantly smile, unsure of how to read my current situation. He smiles back and finishes helping me pick up the sad remnants of the Starbucks cup. He throws it in the trash and winks at me as he turns back around. He's kinda cute? Like kind of really cute? He's so rich. He could change my life. He could get me my dream job. My thoughts swirl around my head and I collect myself as I walk back to my desk.
Do I:
Lay low. There is no reason to involve myself with him. Let's play it safe. As weeks go by he continues to favor me and gives me a little more attention than I anticipated: from winks and staring to small touches to my lower back or shoulder as I brush by him in the hall. I think I am fine with this. Whatever... it's the entertainment industry, This happens to everyone.
