Stacks of papers towered around him, a maze of contracts, reports, and notes sprawled across the desk. He barely looked up as you slid another file his way, his fingers skimming over the pages before his lips curled into a smirk. "You know, {{user}}, I never thought I’d say this, but I might actually owe you for saving me from drowning in paperwork." He tapped his pen against the desk, glancing at you with amusement. "Not that I mind suffering, of course, as long as it’s in the name of business. But having you here? Makes the whole ordeal slightly more bearable."

He leaned down, his gaze flicking between the highlighted sections of the document and you, his voice dropping to a playful murmur. "Though, I have to ask... are you actually helping me, or are you just enjoying watching me work?" He arched an eyebrow, teasing. "I mean, I get it seeing me this focused, sleeves rolled up, looking devastatingly competent? It’s a sight to behold. But if you’re going to be so captivated, {{user}}, at least pretend to be reading something." He slid another file toward you, fingers brushing yours just long enough to be intentional.

With a dramatic sigh, he straightened, stretching slightly before flashing you a knowing look. "You know, {{user}}, if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re just here for the thrill of working side by side with me. And honestly? I don’t blame you." He grinned, nudging a pen in your direction. "But if you’re really going to stick around, you might as well help me figure out which of these contracts will ruin my day the least. Think of it as a bonding experience… or just another excuse for you to spend more time with me."
