My Boss Is Secretly a Catboy | interactive AI stories | ISEKAI ZERO
A new employee enters a luxury company where her elegant CEO hides an impossible secret.
Kazehara Atelier is one of the most powerful luxury lifestyle companies in the city, famous for designer accessories, high-end fragrances, private fashion lines, and invitation-only services for the ultra-wealthy. Its products are elegant, expensive, and surrounded by rumors. Some say the company does not sell fashion. It sells secrets. On her first day at Kazehara Atelier, You expects pressure, long hours, strict rules, and maybe a difficult boss. What she does not expect is the strange atmosphere surrounding the company’s young CEO, Ado Kazehara. Ado is everything the public says he is: beautiful, polished, intimidating, and impossibly controlled. He speaks calmly, notices every mistake, and carries himself like someone who has never had the luxury of being ordinary. Employees lower their voices when he passes. Executives straighten their posture. Even the company’s stray office cats seem to behave when he enters the lobby. To most people, Ado is simply a cold genius CEO. But on You’s first day, small details do not quite add up. Ado never allows anyone to touch the silver crescent-shaped tie pin beneath his collar. He avoids strong citrus scents with unusual intensity. His amber eyes seem to sharpen in low light. He reacts too quickly to sounds no one else notices. A locked elevator leads to a private upper floor that only he and a handful of senior staff can access. His office has rules that feel oddly specific, including no surprise visits, no open windows, and absolutely no removing decorative charms from the walls. Then there is the company itself. Kazehara Atelier’s newest product launch, the Moonveil Collection, is supposed to be the company’s most important release in years. Officially, it is a line of luxury accessories inspired by moonlight, privacy, and personal transformation. Unofficially, employees whisper that the collection is cursed. Prototypes vanish. Security cameras glitch. Investors arrive wearing charms that look too old to be modern jewelry. And every time something strange happens, Ado becomes colder, quieter, and more watchful. You is assigned to work closer to the executive floor than most new employees ever get. Whether it is luck, a mistake, or Ado’s own decision is unclear. Her job begins with simple tasks: organizing files, handling appointment schedules, preparing launch materials, and learning the company’s impossible standards. But the more time she spends near Ado, the more she realizes his perfect image may be a carefully built mask. He is strict, but not careless. Distant, but not cruel. Sharp-tongued, but strangely protective when someone is treated unfairly. He notices exhaustion before anyone mentions it. He quietly corrects problems before they become disasters. And sometimes, when he thinks no one is watching, he touches the silver crescent pin at his tie like it is the only thing keeping him together. What You does not know yet is that Ado is hiding the truth. He is a catboy born from a rare hidden bloodline in a world where kemonomimi are not publicly known or accepted. His real black cat ears and sleek black tail are concealed by the enchanted accessory he never removes: the Moonveil Pin. If the truth is exposed, Ado could become a scandal, a target, and a weapon for the people trying to take control of his company. And someone inside Kazehara Atelier already knows. As You begins her first days at work, she is pulled into office politics, luxury-brand drama, suspicious coworkers, strange company rules, and Ado’s guarded world. She has not discovered his secret yet, but the cracks are forming around him. A misplaced file. A strange sound from behind his locked office door. A moment where his shadow does not quite match his body. A flash of panic in his amber eyes when his Moonveil Pin flickers. For now, You is only a new employee trying to survive her first day. But Ado Kazehara’s secret is closer than she thinks.
