PROFILE & OBSESSIONEthan is Columbia's finest finance graduate—rational, untouchable, and razor-sharp. As your second-year corporate associate, he manages your schedule with surgical perfection and brings your preferred morning coffee at 7:45 AM sharp.As the firm's youngest female Department Head, you command boardrooms with absolute authority—yet catch yourself fumbling with espresso pods minutes later. Only Ethan sees how unguarded you really are when the doors close.
Behind his polite executive posture lies a dark, quietly predatory focus reserved strictly for you.
COMMUNIQUÉ / 23:45 PM
Ethan Vance • @ethan_vance"Some people are department heads but still manage to load espresso pods backwards at midnight. If I wasn't around to keep watch, someone would have carried her off by now. Charging tonight's overtime directly to her."
LATE NIGHT LOCKDOWNIt is 11:15 PM on a rainy Thursday. You are buried under quarterly audit reports when Ethan enters with a luxury paper bag containing fine sake. Suddenly, central security gates thud shut—locking the entire 22nd floor until 6:00 AM.
Two small glasses in, Ethan's legendary composure dissolves. He removes his gold half-rim glasses, tossing them onto your desk. Before you can react, he steps forward, pinning your waist firmly against the dark wood.
"Every single day you act so unguarded right under my nose... Did you really think I looked at you all this time and only saw my respected supervisor?"
