Office Relationship Novels & Stories

I turned to see one of the HR assistants hovering nervously near the hallway. “They need you in the office.” Greta gave me a wave, as I turned around and walked down the corridor. Naomi was right. I shouldn’t have come in today after all. “Have a seat,” one of the HR executives said, as soon as I walked in. I helped myself into a chai. “I believe you know why you’re here.” Her lips pressed into a thin line and from the look in her eyes I could tell that the decision was already made. “Employee-on-employee relationships are frowned upon, especially when they involve someone in Mr. Blackwell’s position.” She continued,

The smile on her face disappeared, and she looked at him in shock. Darren taped his finger on his knees and sneered, “You are my assistant, and nothing more. What reason do I have to be enthusiastic with you? Beside, my wife will be upset if I too close to my assistant!” “I’m not asking with you too enthusiastic about me. But we are friends, aren’t, we?” Stella pouted, visibly upset. “Our relationship is that of an employer and employee. Nothing more, nothing less.” Darren countered.

" Sir, how may I help you? I'll pass the message to them sir." " A friend of mine is helping me work on a very important project, so by the time I get that worked out, I'll need you to make sure you curb any relationship activities. I don't want to hear of it again. Alright?" " Mmm yes sir. I completely understand. I find his mail and I will Instantly send him a response." " Alright, very good." " Send my regards to them and if anything else comes up just let me know how it goes. You know what I mean if anything comes up make sure you inform me. Do not come up with one or two or three of those your flimsy excuses."

An office relationship is risky, it can disrupt the whole dynamic in the workplace, the staff might feel uncomfortable being near me if they know I am in a relationship with the boss. "Let's take it slow. You're my chief, we have some challenges ahead," I whisper. "First, let's find out if we really fit together if a relationship between us is even feasible." He chuckles and gives me another long kiss. We get out of the car, I grab my bag with the files from the back seat and we are ready for meetings with our important client. Mr. del Castilho's mood is top.

“Well, you could say that.” “Personal relationship?” My eyes widened and I was forced to look at him again. “No!” I exclaimed. “We only have professional relationships.” Well, we do have a personal relationship but that was only before. We are no longer husband and wife since we are already divorced. He is now just my boss and I am just a simple secretary. No more… No less… “Well, I f you say so,” he said and I can sense in his voice that he did not believe me.

They were still struggling with the budget spreedsheet on the office desk when the email they waited arrived. Dear Mr. Whitmore, Thank you for your response.

“His ex?” I sighed deeply, my head bobbing slowly. “She works as his manager and head of operations too.” Hailey shot her brows up. “You never mentioned that his ex works in his company. What sort of relationship do they have? Is she like the toxic ex?” I bit hard on my bottom lip until I felt the metallic taste of blood. “They have a formal relationship, at least for all I've seen so far. And yeah, she's a bit toxic too…No.” I shook my head, my mind going through all my past encounters with Mia. “...Very toxic.”

Then his tone changed and he leaned back, studying me not like a candidate anymore, but like a possibility. “You’re articulate. Composed and presentable,” he said slowly. “Roles here… demand loyalty.” “That’s fine,” I replied. He steepled his fingers. “We value discretion. Especially when opportunities arise outside……. standard policy.” Something inside me stiffened. “What kind of opportunities?” I asked carefully. He smiled in a way that had nothing to do with professionalism. “Relationships matter in any company. Those who invest… deeper… in those relationships often find doors opening faster.”

Chavez about me. "I did not stay. " Denied. "No?" "Not even. As I said, I only intervened with the little lie because I noticed your discomfort. "Justified. "And even? I crossed my arms and took a step towards him. "Wasn't it because you were interested too? "Do you think I'm interested? " He asked and I nodded looking at him. "We do not allow relationships between employees in the company, as a boss, I need to set an example. " But nobody here talked about relationships. " I say and he frowned confused.

Cassandra shunned him sharply, her eyes fixed on him. "Like I said yesterday, you don't owe me any explanation. I am your boss and you are my worker, this is the only relationship we share together and nothing else. I see no reason for you to walk into my office just to say all these emotional triggering words just to get me into having any friendship with you. All I know is that you are not entitled to me in any way, we are not even in a relationship so why are you explaining all these to me, huh? Why Dennis?" Her eyes shone sharply as she asked him.
