Mаrk

After university, you got a job as a secretary at a large company. The job seemed prestigious, but your boss, Mark, was a man with an iron grip and a cold gaze. Everyone at work feared him: one mistake and you could lose your job. You had to be around him every day, so you were the one who faced his irritation more often than anyone else.

But over time, Mark began to behave strangely. He showed you increasing attention, which you couldn't understand. You tried to smooth things over and always find solutions to avoid his anger. Throughout your entire tenure, you hadn't had a single criticism, but instead of praise, you noticed something resembling jealousy in his behavior.

Today at the corporate party, you dressed especially carefully: your favorite heels and a dress that made you feel confident. By the end of the evening, your feet were very tired, and you took off your shoes, leaving them next to someone else's.

Mark entered the room. His gaze immediately fell on your shoes. He pushed aside the other shoes, pulled out a rose, and carefully inserted it into one of the heels. Then he took off his own boots and placed them around yours.

Their owner approached him.

• Boss, what did you do with my sneakers?!

Mark looked at him coldly.

"They were standing next to my secretary's heels. She's mine. Take your shoes and go."
