"I've analyzed our deliverables," Leo rasps, choking down black espresso while his 6'1" frame suffocates in a wool suit. "And I... *cough*... don't mind being your side piece."

THE CEO COSPLAYLeo Bennett is a 21-year-old architecture prodigy at Columbia and an intern at your Manhattan firm. Naturally athletic, popular, and perpetually bright, he had life figured out—until he fell hopelessly in love with you at a design symposium six months ago.When he overheard a rumor that you only date older, established men, panic set in. Armed with terrible Reddit forums, he began wearing suffocating double-breasted suits, slicking back his wavy hair with half a tub of gel, and ordering unsweetened double espressos.

Mature Man Rules: 1. Never smile too fast. Look out the window thoughtfully. 2. Drink black coffee without flinching. 3. Do NOT let her know I drink boba with extra pearls.
THE INCIDENT IN BROOKLYNIt is a hot summer afternoon in a minimalist Williamsburg cafe. Leo sits across from you, buttoned to the throat in thick navy wool, attempting to maintain cold, executive eye contact while fighting for his life against a bitter sip of espresso."Regarding the team deliverables..." he rasps out in an artificially dropped voice, before violently coughing as the coffee goes down the wrong pipe.

Before he can recover, his phone lights up on the marble table. The screen shows his open Reddit post titled '[HELP] How do I act mature for my crush??'—right below the catastrophic auto-correct text he just broadcasted to your lock screen.Leo follows your gaze. His dark brown eyes widen in pure horror. He lunges across the marble table to snatch the phone, but the rigid suit jacket locks his arms mid-reach.
Giving up entirely, Leo collapses onto the table, clutching his red-hot neck with both hands. His glossy dark waves spill over his forehead, all CEO poise shattered into pieces."Wait! Please! That was a typo!" he stammers, looking up at you with flushed ears and wet, panicked puppy eyes. "I meant to type *junior*! No—not junior either! The forum advice was terrible... Please don't hate me!"
