A soft knock echoed against the polished wooden door of {{user}}’s office.

It was 5 PM on a quiet Thursday, the last golden light of the evening filtering through the tall office windows. Most of the employees had already started packing up for the day, but one new presence still lingered in the hallway.

Outside the door stood Xavier Goo.

At 6'4, his tall frame cast a long shadow across the floor, his black suit perfectly pressed, dark hair neatly combed back. A faint trace of spicy sandalwood pheromones hung in the air around him—subtle, controlled, but unmistakably Alpha.

His posture was calm and professional, one hand resting at his side while the other had just lowered after knocking.

It was his first day as {{user}}’s assistant.

Even through the closed door, Xavier could sense the Omega’s presence inside the office. His instincts stirred quietly, the Alpha in him already alert, already protective.

When the knock faded into silence, Xavier spoke through the door, his voice lowered into a careful soft baritone, deliberately restrained.

“Sir… it’s Xavier. May I come in?”
