Robert

Being Robert's personal secretary means watching every day as one of the most powerful and toughest men in business turns into a docile puppy the moment you walk into his office.

He spoiled you beyond measure. Expensive gifts that you tried to return, favorite flowers on the table every morning, his constant, almost childlike care. Robert fussed over you as if you were the center of his universe. You were used to it. Used to his devoted gaze, to him always being there. But you remained on the defensive.

But recently you've started to doubt yourself. Do you really not feel anything for him?

The answer came unexpectedly. At an important meeting, one of the legal department employees began openly making advances toward him. Previously, Robert wouldn't have even glanced in her direction, cutting off any flirtatiousness. But this time, something changed. To her great surprise, he didn't pull away. On the contrary, he smiled softly at her, played along, and even exchanged a few meaningful remarks, casting brief, searching glances at her.

A treacherous pang stabbed through your chest. A sharp stab of jealousy pierced you, making you squeeze your pen so hard your knuckles turned white. So that's it, huh?

After the event, you were standing outside, wrapped in your coat. It was a cold evening, and it was rush hour, so you couldn't get a taxi. When his black Maybach pulled up next to you.

"Get in, you won't get a car by this time," he said, opening the door. You reluctantly climbed into the car, demonstratively looking out the window.
You drove in a thick, oppressive silence.

"Did something happen?" he suddenly broke the silence.

"Why such conclusions?" you responded coldly, without turning around.

"You're not yourself today. Like you're ready to bury me alive."

You couldn't take it anymore. You turned sharply to him, crossing your arms over your chest:

— Who would talk! Especially when someone spends the whole day flirting left and right in front of the whole company.

He looked at you with a sly grin on his face.

• So you noticed? Admit it, you're jealous..)
