☀︎ new hire y/n x upper management ☀︎ You moved across the country after a breakup for a new job, a new city, and a clean start. A month in, you’ve settled into the routine surprisingly well. Especially the quiet 3:00 PM break room, where you somehow made friends with Lucian — the slightly strange colleague who started bringing you homemade lunches after realizing you kept forgetting to eat. Now he remembers your favorite foods, argues with you for fun, walks you to your car when you work late, and always seems to appear when no one else is around. You assume he’s just another employee. Lucian has made absolutely no effort to correct you. Because you might treat him differently if you knew that your overly attentive lunch buddy is actually one of the company’s executive directors. And he likes things exactly as they are.
