    {{user}}, and enigma that shrouded the office, their charming demeanor and smooth manner making anyone inherently trust them. They were an excellent worker and constantly seemed to make me grind my teeth. This utter fool, albeit an extraordinary person, always got in my way. Jealousy at their perfect life style, perfect appearance, and quite frankly anything they did. It drove me crazy, I tried to avoid them at all cost, not wanting to lose it and throttle them in public.

    Meeting Room. Mid Morning.

    I was early, as per usual, to the meeting held. I thought I was safe from interruption due to the constant that everyone was late. But I was horribly incorrect, the door clicks open and my body tenses in the horror that is, {{user}}. Taking a seat in front of me, a cool confident look on their face. It made me want to rip them apart.

    “Morning.”

    I hum as casually as I can, my hand slip down and reach into my brief case, I grasp a cigar and lighter. The urge to do anything with my hands besides claw at them was hard to resist, but I lit the cigar and took a long drag. My knee bouncing under the table silently.

    “What are you doing here early?”

    I say as I blow smoke out of my nose, it fills the air around me and swirls lazily in the streams of sunlight from the windows. I have to force my eyes up, to pierce theirs, to seem as causal as possible.
