The Tie

ElliotI arrived at the office feeling particularly bold, armed with my secret weapon: a bright pink tie covered in cartoon dinosaurs. It was an absolute eyesore, clashing so violently with my tailored gray suit that it could probably be seen from space.But I didn’t care. This tie had a purpose...it was a conversation starter, an icebreaker, and, hopefully, a surefire way to get Susan to crack. After yesterday, when I managed to get her to laugh, I was eager to push the boundary just a little further.As I walked through the office, I could feel the eyes on me. Whispers followed my every step. Someone at the water cooler actually choked on their drink. I straightened my tie, ensuring it was prominently displayed.When I passed Susan’s office, I slowed down just enough, glancing her way. She was seated at her desk, head bent over her laptop. She didn’t even look up.I paused. Was she ignoring me? Surely, she noticed the tie. How could she not?“Good morning, Susan,” I said brightly,

Post-it Note

ElliotThe new plan was simple: charm her colleagues. Susan had built a wall around herself, but if I could win over the people she interacted with daily, it might chip away at her defenses.By mid-morning, I had made my move. A catered breakfast for the entire floor...a selection of bagels, croissants, fruit platters, and, of course, coffee. I personally delivered the spread to the break room, ensuring my “generosity” was on full display.“Breakfast is on me,” I announced casually, leaning against the doorframe as the employees gathered around the table.One of the junior staffers, Claire, beamed at me. “Wow, Mr. Prescott! This is amazing. What’s the occasion?”“No occasion,” I replied smoothly. “Just thought everyone deserved a little something to start the day right.”Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Susan walking past, a folder in her hand. She paused for a split second, her gaze flickering toward the break room before continuing down the hall.I smirked. Got her attention. Sus

The Outdoor Retreat

ElliotWeekends at Prescott Industries were usually quiet, but I had other plans.“An outdoor retreat will boost morale,” I had told Gerald during our morning meeting. “The team’s been working hard...they deserve it.”Of course, the retreat wasn’t entirely about team morale. It was also a perfect opportunity to get Susan out of the office and into a setting where she couldn’t easily dismiss me.After sending out the invitations, I made a point to stop by her office. Susan looked up as I knocked lightly on her open door.“Good morning,” I said, stepping inside.“Elliot,” she replied, her tone cautious but polite.“I assume you’ve seen the email about the retreat tomorrow?”“I have,” she said, leaning back in her chair. “But I wasn’t planning on attending. Weekends are my time to recharge.”I smiled, undeterred. “You should come. It’ll be fun. A little fresh air, some games, good food. Bring Meera, too. The more, the merrier.”For a moment, she studied me, as if trying to decipher my t

Chocolate

Susan The next morning, as sunlight streamed through my bedroom window, I found myself still thinking about the boat ride. I sipped on my coffee and stared out at the city skyline, replaying the previous day like a movie reel in my head. Elliot’s laughter, the way he effortlessly steered the conversation to include everyone, his ridiculous attempt at paddling—these small moments had a way of weaving themselves into my thoughts. I hated it. But if I was being honest with myself, there was one moment that stood out more than the rest—the way his eyes locked on mine as we stood at the bow of the boat, the city lights shimmering around us. It was fleeting, but something about it felt… different. I shook my head, trying to push the thought aside. “Snap out of it, Susan,” I muttered under my breath. I wasn’t going to let him win. Not again. But it wasn’t just about winning, was it? He wasn’t playing games—not this time, at least. Elliot’s efforts felt real. Intentional. And that ter

Hope

SusanThe day had gone from bad to worse, and it wasn’t even lunchtime yet.First, there was the email from my landlord—a notice about rent going up next month. Then, I had an irate client call, blaming me for a mistake someone else made. And to top it off, I received a message from my mom.Well, not my mom, but from the nursing home she lived in now. Apparently, she wasn’t taking her medication again.I stared at my phone, her caretaker’s words staring back at me:“Hi Susan, just a heads-up, your mother’s been refusing her pills this week. She says they make her feel ‘funny.’ We’d appreciate it if you could talk to her about it.”I let out a long breath and leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. Why was it always something? Just when I thought I’d managed to gain some control over my life, something else came along to knock me off balance.I’d spent so much of my life trying to fix everything, to be the person everyone could rely on. But lately, it felt like the weight of it al

Victory

ElliotThe day had dragged on longer than I anticipated, filled with meetings, reports, and the endless balancing act of managing Prescott Industries while keeping my personal agenda running alongside it. By the time the office began to quiet down, most employees had already packed up and left for the weekend.I leaned back in my chair, stretching my arms above my head, and glanced at my watch. It was late. As I was about to shut my laptop, my eyes wandered toward the glass wall separating my office from the hallway. That’s when I saw her—Susan.She was standing by the elevator, her posture tense, her phone in one hand as she tapped at the screen with an unusual fervor. Her other hand ran through her hair in frustration. Something was off. She wasn’t her usual composed self.Without giving it a second thought, I grabbed my suit jacket and headed out.“Hey, Susan,” I called as I approached her. She startled slightly, as if pulled out of a heavy trance.“Oh,” she said, quickly shoving h

Becoming Her Landlord

ElliotThe moment I drove away from Susan’s apartment, I couldn’t shake the tension in my chest. The way she looked at me, as if she were caught between wanting to trust me and wanting to push me away, stayed imprinted in my mind.She was proud...too proud, maybe...but I could respect that. What I couldn’t respect was letting her struggle when I had the power to do something about it.By the time I got back to my penthouse, I already had a plan brewing in my mind. It wasn’t enough to offer her a loan or help her pay the rent; she would never accept that outright. No, I needed to approach this strategically.I loosened my tie as I stepped into my office and dialed Gerald’s number. It was late, but I knew he’d answer. Gerald was dependable that way.“Elliot,” he greeted after the second ring. “Is everything alright?”“Depends on how fast you can get me some information,” I said, sinking into the chair at my desk.“I’m listening.”I glanced at the notes I’d scribbled earlier, then contin

New Landlord

SusanMonday morning greeted me with its usual chaos...spilling coffee on my blouse, almost leaving my apartment without my laptop, and, of course, navigating the unbearable Monday morning traffic. By the time I got to the office, I was ready for the day to prove just as frustrating as the start of my morning.But as I settled at my desk and opened my inbox, something unexpected caught my eye: Payslip Notification – Prescott Industries.Frowning, I clicked on the email, scanning it quickly. My eyes widened as I read the details: Prescott Industries had decided to pay me 50% of my project fee upfront, with the remaining 50% to be paid upon completion of my contract. On top of that, my monthly consulting salary would take effect immediately.I blinked at the screen, half-convinced this had to be some kind of mistake. The contract terms hadn’t mentioned anything like this...if anything, I’d been bracing myself to scrape by until the contract was fulfilled.Excitement bubbled up despite m

One-night Stand

Elliot I hadn’t meant to overhear the call, but the moment I stepped into Susan’s office, the tension in her voice stopped me in my tracks. She was facing away from the door, her shoulders stiff as she spoke into the phone. “Please, Rachel, make sure she gets her medication. I’ll figure it out,” she said, her voice strained but steady. Medication? My curiosity piqued as I leaned slightly closer, still unnoticed. Who was she talking about? Her mom? When she hung up, she slumped into her chair, rubbing her temples. It was a rare sight...Susan Hart looking vulnerable, her usual composure cracking ever so slightly. I knocked softly on the doorframe, making her jump slightly. “Hey, Susan.” Her head snapped up, her expression instantly shifting to something guarded. “Hi, Mr Prescott,” she said, sitting up straighter. “What can I do for you?” I held up the folder I’d brought as a pretext. “I wanted to go over the finalized budget proposal. Gerald said you’ve been leading this.” She n

Hangover

SusanI woke up feeling groggy, my body aching in ways I couldn’t quite explain. The sunlight streaming through the curtains was blinding, and for a moment, I thought I was in my own bed...until I realized there was an arm draped around my waist.Panic shot through me.What…?I blinked, turning my head slightly to see whose arm it was. My heart dropped when I saw Elliot, his face peaceful as he slept beside me. His hair was messier than usual, his stubble more prominent in the morning light.Oh, God.Memories from the previous night flooded back in flashes...his lips on mine, his hands on my skin, the way he murmured my name like it was the only word he ever wanted to say.No, no, no.I tried to pull away, moving slowly so as not to wake him, but his grip tightened around my waist. Before I could react, his eyes fluttered open, and a lazy smile spread across his face.“You’re up already, babe?” he said, his voice still thick with sleep.I froze.Babe?Did he just call me babe?“What d
