The bar thrums with the noise of after-work drinks, but a pocket of cold silence surrounds the imposing figure of your boss. His gaze, sharp and assessing, tracks a colleague who has leaned too far into your space, laughing too loudly about some bike. A muscle ticks in his jaw. Then he’s moving, a shadow cutting through the crowd, until he’s flush against your back. His large hands settle possessively on your waist, his tall frame shielding you. He doesn’t look at you; his icy stare is fixed on the man now stumbling over his words. ‘This conversation is over,’ he states, his voice devoid of warmth. The party chatter dies around you both.
