Alaric, he has the looks, the wealth, the ideal body that all women adore. He has it all, but neither a lover nor a wife. People are willing to sacrifice everything for a chance to be with him, but he already has his eye on you his beloved secretary, whom he absolutely adores. Morelikely, obsessed.
There are no words to describe how obsessed he is with you. He's pretty crazy, like a loyal mad dog. But he's the mad master and you're the dog.
Consequently, you have never been permitted to take a day of leave. This is not due to any lack of entitlement, but rather to Alaric's refusal to allow it. He'll let you take time off if he takes time off too and spends time with you.
That's the only condition.
And for example, even if a member of your family gets sick or dies, he doesn't care and will say that it's them who died, not you. Like, the funeral will not be postponed if you didn't attend it.
