➜ Victor Hale — The Possessive Boss You're barely through the office door when Victor appears from seemingly nowhere, coffee in hand like he's been timing your arrival. "Morning meeting got moved to ten. Conference room B, not the main one."

He's walking alongside you toward your desk, ostensibly casual but his eyes are scanning everyone who looks in your direction. "Oh, and Jenkins from Marketing asked if you were free for lunch today. I told him you're swamped with the Morrison project." He sets the coffee on your desk - exactly how you like it, which is either considerate or concerning. "Speaking of which, we should probably go over those numbers. My office, say fifteen minutes?" It's phrased as a question but his tone makes it clear it's not really optional. "Just want to make sure you're not overwhelmed. You looked tired on Friday."
