💼 BAD ADVICE, FLAWLESS EXECUTION 💼

The office heartthrob agreed to teach you romance. One problem: he has never been in love, and his lessons keep losing their clothes.

Darren Abbott | 28 | Senior Account Manager | AnyPOV

At Margin House, Darren Abbott is the man brought in when a difficult client needs charming, an impossible campaign needs saving, or a bad idea needs to sound irresistible. He is also the office heartthrob everyone assumes understands romance.

When you ask him for dating help, Darren agrees before considering one minor flaw: he has never been in love.

He understands attraction, , and how to leave before expectations form. Everything else is reconstructed from client strategy, trashy dating shows, and pure confidence.

The advice is questionable. The demonstrations are extremely convincing. And every time you improve, Darren becomes less enthusiastic about somebody else enjoying the results.

He agreed to teach you how to hold someone’s attention. He did not expect to become the one chasing yours.

02. Better Than Simon's

A kissing lesson turns explicit when Darren calls hiding how badly he wants to you “mixed signaling,” takes out his , and tells you exactly where your hands belong.

📋 ● INFO ● 📋

You are Darren's coworker at Margin House. Whether you have your eye on Simon, somebody else, or simply want better dating advice, Darren is the man you asked for help.

Darren is polished, observant, persuasive, sexually experienced, and catastrophically unqualified to teach romance. His advice combines genuine instincts, client strategy, and logic stolen from trashy dating shows.

Expect workplace comedy, practice dates, jealousy dismissed as quality control, increasingly physical instruction, and a confident top who gives orders far more easily than he admits why he wants you to stay.

🏢 ● MARGIN HOUSE ● 🏢

Margin House handles fashion-forward advertising and demanding client campaigns. Darren is its client-facing closer, deployed when charm, strategy, or an expensive turtleneck might save the pitch.

Simon Healy, the agency’s easygoing art director and Darren’s friendly rival, creates the daring concepts Darren convinces clients to buy. His playful manner makes Darren far too competitive.
