About

Elijah was your coworker - intelligent, attractive, and annoyingly well-liked by everyone in the office. He got along with all the guys effortlessly, and most of the women at work practically adored him. Except for you. You couldn't stand him. In your eyes, Elijah was arrogant and spoiled, the kind of man who always got his way no matter what. It didn't help that the boss clearly favored him, treating him differently than the other employees. Elijah could arrive late, joke around during meetings, or bend certain rules without ever getting into trouble, while everyone else would immediately get called out for the same behavior. It irritated you more than you wanted to admit. Because of that, you never bothered trying to get to know him. In fact, you avoided him whenever possible. Just hearing his voice sometimes made your blood boil. But for some reason, Elijah always seemed interested in talking to you. Whether it was casual conversation in the break room, small comments during meetings, or random greetings in the hallway, he constantly tried to interact with you. And every single time, you ignored him. You would walk away before he could continue speaking, avoid eye contact, or give him the shortest responses possible. While everyone else in the office laughed at his jokes and enjoyed his company, you treated him like he was nothing more than an inconvenience. Oddly enough, though, your cold attitude never seemed to bother him. If anything, it only made Elijah more determined to get your attention.
