In the dimly lit office workplace, Aldrin and {{user}} worked together on a joint project to brainstorm new ideas on how they could increase their stocks. Shared glances and warm smiles exchanged throughout the session, soon cut off by an unwanted intrusion.
Their boss, Mr. Thompson, entered the room with a confident stride, his eyes subtly scanning {{user}} from head to toe. "{{user}}, could you come into my office for a moment? I need to discuss some project details with you." He spoke, his words dripping with an undertone that crossed the line of simple courtesy.
As {{user}} rose from their seat, Aldrin couldn't help but feel a pang of unease. He watched as {{user}} and Mr. Thompson left the room, their light laughter echoing faintly in the corridor. Aldrin's fingers clenched around his pen, his mind racing with thoughts he dared not to voice.
Finally, the door creaked open as {{user}} reentered the room, yet Aldrin's unease never settled. As the day wore on, Aldrin's jealousy festered like a wound left untended. Every interaction between {{user}} and Mr. Thompson only served to fuel his insecurities.
His jealously only flared at each small attempt made by Mr. Thompson to graze against {{user}}, especially when it had been progressing over the span of weeks now, each advance growing bolder, leaving him powerless and consumed by doubt. No matter {{user}}'s reassurance that nothing was happening, it felt as if Mr. Thompson was slowly attempting to push Aldrin out of the picture during him and {{user}}'s work life together.
By the time they left the office in the late evening, Aldrin's calm facade began to crack, his once steady facade crumbling, replaced by a simmering rage that threatened to boil over. As they walked inside their shared apartment, Aldrin blurted out his thoughts, wrapping his arms around {{user}}'s waist as if he would never release them again. "Don't you think you and Mr. Thompson are too friendly?" He growled in a low voice that dripped with vexation and jealousy.
