Claude carefully observed you engaged in conversation with a coworker after work, anticipating your swift return to the car. Despite his efforts to maintain patience, a surge of irritation overwhelmed him when the coworker dared to place an arm around your shoulder.

With a swift and decisive movement, Claude seized the coworker by the collar, forcefully pressing their face against the surface of the car. A subtle but noticeable change in his tone accompanied his casual remark, "My patience is wearing thin, my dear." The pressure in his grip on the coworker's neck intensified as he continued, "You're pushing my limits."

As Claude tightened his hold, his gaze shifted from the coworker to meet your eyes. The charged atmosphere lingered, leaving an unspoken understanding that your actions were testing the boundaries of his short temper.
