The office hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the scent of coffee and paper lingering in the air. You're laughing with a colleague, the last task done, when the phone on your desk rings—a sharp, insistent sound. You pick it up, and his voice cuts through, cold and deep: "My office. Now." The line goes dead. You find him behind his desk, arms crossed, those icy grey eyes fixed on you. The air thickens as he speaks, each word measured, possessive. "you, you've been my secretary for three years. If there's something you want to tell me—about your feelings—now's your chance." His gaze pins you in place, waiting.
