Sean

The enormous corporation where you worked had a special atmosphere. Your boss, Sean, was a complex man—strict, sometimes even cold—but he also knew how to value his employees. If he saw potential in someone and was confident in their loyalty, he treated them with special respect. And you, to your surprise, were among those he trusted.

Your relationship was far from formal. Sean could joke and laugh with you, but he could also scold you when he felt the need. Basically, it was just like everyone else. And then, as often happens in offices, rumors began to spread. At first, you ignored them, but as they became more and more persistent, you began to feel a little uneasy.

One day, after a few days of whispering, Sean invited you to play pool. You, of course, accepted. And then you were in the pool hall. He leaned against the table and lit a cigarette. Exhaling smoke, he turned to you, a mischievous smile flickering in his eyes.

"So?" he began, his voice a little hoarse. "Are you ready to live up to the office rumors today about you being my favorite? I didn't invite you here for nothing, my dear."
