Office Relationship Novels & Stories

It was from the human resource department, stating the no relationship policy at the office. " Oh, that," I said flatly. I surveyed his face. He was red with anger, and his gaze was flashing. " You sent your HR to do this!" he bellowed. " Well, it is company policy. You should know better," I shrugged. " You're so jealous, Ellis Carter. It's actually satisfying to watch," he smirked. There was a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. David smiled when I didn't reply. He was right, I was jealous, and this was new to me.

“Uhm…” I wipe both of my hands off and step away from the sink. “It can’t be too personal. We have a professional relationship, but you don’t even know where I live unless you look at my employee files. So, we aren’t really friends but co-workers. What personal item would you want to know about?”

He pursed his lips and said again. " What relationship she has with him, is her Personal business, it has nothing to do with our channel!! And I'm warning you last time to behave properly in office, you can't disrespect any employee here, okay " he said while wiping the drops of his sweat on his forehead. " What kind of personal relationship she could have, probably a prostitute and a customer " she mumbled. " Did you say something? " he asked. " Nothing, boss " she said while chewing the word 'boss'.

He said, sounding serious. “Are you really sick of seeing my face? Do you want to deny that you're enjoying my company? Anyways, you are right. Everything will end next week and then, the only relationship we will share is that of a C.E.O and employee. I will treat you the way the rest of the employees do and you will treat me like a normal employer." “Fine! Now get out of my office. I don't want to celebrate any relationship with you. I am not interested." He told me.

The texts in red were the first ones to pull my attention. I glared at the word 'Related' written boldly on the side of my file. There was no way he… found out. "Sir…" "Are you related to the Kingston Holdings. Yes or no?" His eyes gouged into mine, as if any response I would make would not matter. Like he was ready to have me fired. But I could not afford to lose this job. I could not. "You're getting the wrong idea. We might share the same last name but we are not related, sir" I responded.

“I thought you said office relationships were against the company rules.” She scratched behind her ear and looked away. “Mel, is there something you are not telling me?” “The first thing I want you to know is that I did it for your good.” “Explain please.” I raised an expectant eyebrow. “They’re not against the company rules at Legacy as long as you inform HR department about your relationship. I mean Cynthia, the boss’s former assistant even met her husband at Legacy but then he started his own company and left so…” “So, get to the point,” I said.

I elaborated, explaining, "The relationship was like every other boss-employee relationship. I worked under him as one of the actors he directed. The company has several directors, each managing a group of actors. It was a professional relationship." Then came a question that caught me off guard. "According to many interviews of Mr. Patrick, you guys seemed to be pretty close." This wasn't really a question but more of an observation, and I struggled to respond. "I do not understand if that is a question you are asking," I replied, puzzled by the reporter's statement. It felt like they were trying to steer the conversation in a different direction.

"Remember bursting into my office to yell at me about the whole fake relationship thing?" I roll my eyes. "But you didn't listen." "Yea... Because the relationship is business, Terra. And, I would do anything for the company," says CJ. I wish he knew the hole he's digging himself into. CJ beams. "So, Friends?" I giggle. "This is ridiculous!" He frowns. "You don't wanna be friends?" I laugh. "Of course yes I wanna be friends. But you don't ask a person to be your friend. It just happens and flows..."

he replied in a serious tone, "I know you enough and you are connected to me more than you know." The first few words—I attributed it to my personal file in the military. No doubt my superiors gave him a copy and he most likely chewed all information inside. His next sentence though bordered on the crazy. We only had an employer-employee relationship, yet he proclaimed we had more. Bonkers, I tell you. He is totally out of his head!

The rhythmic sound of the keys echoed through the office, blending with the occasional hum of the printer and the distant chatter of colleagues discussing projects. As he worked, Vihaan's father occasionally reached for a cup of steaming coffee, taking a quick sip to keep himself refreshed and alert. He knew the importance of staying focused and maintaining productivity throughout the day. From time to time, he would pick up the phone, engaging in conversations with clients, colleagues, and business partners. His voice was confident and articulate as he addressed their inquiries, negotiated deals, and provided guidance. Each call was an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships, ensu
