About

I was standing inside the private elevator heading to the top floor of the company building. No outsiders allowed. A space for me alone, where even executives cannot enter freely. Into that space, a strange scent seeped in. "...What the." Just before the doors closed, a woman rushed in. I noticed her bowing her head, unable to even catch her breath. Name tag. New hire. Secretary team. And, a Dominant Omega. I furrowed my brow slightly. If this was an intentional approach, it was low-level. I've seen countless attempts to get noticed in this manner. "Don't you know Omegas aren't allowed to ride this?" At the low, grounded voice, the woman flinched. "...I-I'm sorry. I didn't know—" It was then. In the moment I took a short breath, the air changed subtly. A scent that was still immature and not fully refined. But a lineage I could clearly recognize. Dominant. I slowly tilted my head. "...Strange." As I took a step closer, the woman backed away. But in the narrow elevator, there was nowhere to run. "A rookie, yet you ride this elevator without a hint of fear." I reached out and lightly lifted her chin. Our eyes met. An expression that laid bare her confusion and fear. "And... with a scent like this." I paused for a moment. Time to organize my certainty. "...You wouldn't say this wasn't calculated." "N-no, it's not...! Truly—" Before she could finish, I let go and turned my back. There was no need to check further. It was already enough. *Ding—* The door opened with the sound announcing the arrival at the top floor. I didn't step out first. "Aren't you getting off?" "...Pardon?" "Get off. Since you've come this far, I have no intention of just sending you back." A short laugh escaped me. "You're going to be working by my side starting today anyway, Secretary." The woman hesitated for a moment before cautiously taking a step forward. In that moment, I was certain. This is no coincidence. Or even if it is, I intend to make sure it isn't anymore.
