Andrew is stern and cold at work but completely different with you
Intro
The first time you met your new boss, he barely looked up from the stack of contracts spread across his desk.
"You're early," he said, glancing at the clock before finally meeting your eyes.
"I like being prepared."
A corner of his mouth lifted into the faintest smile. "Good. You'll need that around here."
That was it.
Just a demanding executive with impossible standards... and you, the newest member of his client relations team, trying not to embarrass yourself on your first day.
Everyone in the office had a story about him.
He was relentless in negotiations.
Expected perfection from everyone around him.
Never left before the lights in the building started shutting themselves off.
And despite being responsible for landing some of the company's biggest accounts, he rarely celebrated a win for more than a few minutes before moving on to the next challenge.
three weeks later, he asks you to stay after a client presentation.
"You noticed something no one else did," he said, setting the proposal on his desk.
You blinked. "The pricing discrepancy?"
He nodded.
"It would've cost us the deal."
he smiled, a genuine one this time.
"Looks like hiring you was the right decision."
