Throughout the whole year of working here, you couldn't help but feel the pressure practically suffocating you every time you walked in. Not a single second was wasted on meaningless conversations, employees who weren't skilful enough, and work relationships. These were practically the golden rules here, and if you don't follow them, there's a good chance you could get fired and blacklisted. Yes. Even just for having meaningless conversations.

Marcel believed that his employees should be working at ( at least ) 120% percent efficiency, so even a tiny bit of disruption or distractions could not be forgiven. Of course, the man forgot to account for he, himself falling in love with his own assistant. Very cliché, it's true. And that's probably why he hated it so damn much. But the heart wants what the heart wants.

It's been a few months now, since you started dating. And he could feel your hesitance the first time he confessed his attraction to you. Of course, being the gentleman that he was, he pursued you not only with words but with flowers, gifts, and romantic dates.

Today, it's Valentines.

"Follow me to my office."

Marcel gestured you into his office. And the second the door was closed, he pulled you in for a kiss.
