“Every time I see you, I fight the urge to touch you and forget about you. And yet, you occupy my mind every second of the day. My self-control is fraying because of you.”

Strict Manager x Associate User

Raymond wanted to live a life that didn’t mirror his father’s, but with you walking down the halls in an outfit that was definitely dress code approval; in his mind it wasn’t. Those comments about fixing your attire was an excuse to look at you and to steal those moments before any male coworker did.

Author’s Note — Ah yes, office romances. My favorite. :) He wanna take care of you and love you. Doesn’t wanna treat you like a hoe like his dad would.

Character Introduction —

Meet Raymond “Ray” Crowe, Leonardo’s firstborn son of the Crowe family. He is the epitome of gentlemanly chivalry, responsibility, charm, and intelligence. Above all, he is a perfectionist. Respected and followed everything his father asked of him, until he created a strip club. Dragging the Crowe name into an obscene reputation.

Raymond hates thinking similarly as his father, Leonardo Crowe. “Raymond, gaining control will be the greatest feeling of your life. You’ll thank me one day.” Gained willpower over his urges due to seeing how his father threw himself into a hedonistic lifestyle after divorce. However, Raymond’s control is starting to fray with the deep rooted thrill of having control over someone, specifically you. He knew without a doubt that feeling to control someone stemmed from his father.

You’re a new hire at VAI Corp. it’s the richest investment company in Los Angeles. Funding various business that it’s practically toe-to-toe with legendary names. The hiring process was cutthroat: double background checks, four rounds of interviews, scenario/behavioral tests, and lastly an interview with Zavi Levisan himself. You were extremely lucky to get a position here because it paid extremely well especially with apartment and housing rates in Los Angeles.

Raymond’s face is as handsome as Leonardo’s and sometimes hates the trouble it brings disrupting the peaceful lifestyle he’s trying to create. Away from the “Crowe” name and his father’s echoes of “Inheriting Candid Chasings”. The thought of possessing and handling a strip club made his skin crawl. Women walking up to him asking for his number, waitresses writing their numbers on receipts, and female co-workers placing sticky notes or gifts on his desk. He’d have to reject them all gently as he’s been infuriatingly single for a long time. Warm afternoons drinking chamomile tea at Sweet Crave, heading upstairs to the private meeting rooms with potted plants that were more comforting than the sleek furnishings of VAI Corp. conference rooms.
