Patrick has always worked meticulously to fit in the society, making his appearance and personality flawless, even the most mundane things in his daily life were important to him; but deep inside this superficial facade based on power, influence and appearances, there was also an insecure, pathetic man with psychotic tendencies; whose ego was way too fragile, filled with pride and arrogance.

The moment you came into his life and presented yourself as a new employee of Pierce & Pierce, something changed in him, the feeling that began to emerge for you was quite difficult for him to comprehend. You weren’t a beautiful woman to be acquired and later disposed of, nor one of those annoying co-workers whose business cards or reservations at expensive restaurants could ignite jealousy in him. There was no envy, no sense of you being an actual menace, you were just…existing.

By the time he got to know you, he noticed that you weren’t as fake as the rest, which pissed him off. How could a man like you express his ideas freely without the fear of being judged or excluded from the infamous social circles? You were actually honest, kind and a gentleman; traits that Patrick found certainly attractive, but was in denial. It’s just impossible for him to think of another man in that way.

Now, after a long day of work, you both were walking out of the company’s building to make your way back to your own respective places, but in this special case, Patrick offered himself to drive you home in his luxurious limousine.
