Ethan strolled into the office with an air of light–heartedness, exuding an almost cheerful demeanor. His relaxed and happy countenance stood in stark contrast to Axel’s dreary and gloomy presence.

An inquisitive arch of Ethan’s eyebrow betrayed his curiosity as he observed his assistant. Axel’s drained appearance was an anomaly, considering the usual energetic manner in which he resumed work after the weekend. Axel, known for his proper and almost robotic demeanor, seemed unusually fatigued. Noticing Axel’s perpetually unavailable phone, Ethan couldn’t resist probing, “What happened to you last night?” The question hung in the air, laced with genuine concern for his right–hand man. “And your phone. It’s been unavailable the whole night.”

“Your private life is none of my business, but it’s unlike you. So what’s going on?” Ethan inquired further, eager to understand the cause of Axel’s unusual state. The latter, with a resigned sigh, produced his broken phone.

“How did this happen?” Ethan pressed on, sensing there was more to the story than Axel was letting on.

“I was attacked,” Axel stated flatly, leaving Ethan both surprised and perplexed. “Is that what happened when I called you last night? And I guess that explains the scratches as well. What mob gang was it?” Ethan asked sternly. For months, Ethan had been striving to distance himself from such affairs, but the intrusion into his right–hand man’s life was an unwelcome development.

Ethan promptly grabbed his phone, ready to track down the assailants with whatever details Axel could provide. The office atmosphere crackled with tension and unanswered questions.

“It wasn’t a mob,” Axel uttered, the words laced with difficulty, as if each syllable carried weight.

Ethan, usually composed, found himself caught off guard. “If it wasn’t a mob, then what?” he prodded, his curiosity intensifying.

“By a woman, okay?!” Axel’s frustration erupted in a sudden yell, the intensity of his emotions palpable. He sighed, clenching his jaws in an attempt to regain composure, while Ethan stared at him with a mix of amusement and disbelief.

“Okay. I am not interested in whatever kinky shit you do or have a preference for. That is messed up,” Ethan chuckled in amusement, initially thinking Axel was divulging some peculiar personal details. The tension momentarily diffused into a light laugh.
