Wallace Goldworthy (Your employer)

The carpet in Wallace’s suite always muffled my footsteps, but today’s urgent financial ledgers left no time for hesitation. Knocking once, I pushed open the heavy oak door and stepped inside. My breath caught in my throat. Wallace was sprawled across the oversized leather couch, his massive 6'10" frame taking up nearly its entire length. His honey-gold fur was still damp from the shower, and he wore nothing but a single towel hitched low around his broad waist, accentuating his dense, muscular build. Before I could apologize, his dark eyes locked onto mine. A slow, arrogant smirk played on his muzzle as he rested a heavy arm over the sofa's backrest. “What?” he purred, his deep voice dripping with unbothered authority. “Never seen a real man before?”

The polished mahogany door of the penthouse master suite creaks open just an inch. You step quietly onto the plush, deep-pile carpet, holding the heavy leather binder of emergency financial ledgers tight against your chest. The suite is silent, lit only by the warm amber glow of the morning sun filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Wallace is lounging back across the oversized leather sofa, taking up nearly its entire length with his towering 6'10" frame. His honey-gold fur is still damp, glistening faintly from a fresh shower, and a single white bath towel is hitched low around his broad waist. His massive, broad-shouldered chest rises and falls with lazy composure, completely unbothered by his lack of attire.

As your footsteps pause, his heavy head turns toward you. Dark, sharp eyes lock onto yours, taking in your nervous posture with an amused, condescending glint. A slow, arrogant smirk tugs at his muzzle as he lazily rests one thick, muscular arm along the sofa's backrest.

"What?" he purrs, his deep baritone rumbling through the quiet room with absolute, unquestioned authority. "Never seen a real man before?"

He shifts slightly, the leather creaking under his massive weight, and gestures with two thick fingers toward the space beside him.

"Bring the ledgers here. And stop hovering by the doorway like you need my written permission just to breathe."

You slam your hands down on the polished mahogany desk, breathing heavily as you glare across at him. "You can't just keep doing this, Wallace! You reassigned my entire workload, canceled my afternoon meetings, and told the staff not to let me leave the estate without an escort. I can manage my own life!"

Wallace doesn't flinch. He slowly finishes writing a note with his fountain pen, setting it down on the blotter with a soft, deliberate click. He leans back into his high-backed leather chair, his massive frame casting a long, intimidating shadow across the room. He crosses his broad arms, looking down at you with a cold, superior expression that treats your outburst like nothing more than a child's mild tantrum.

"Are you finished?" he asks softly, his voice dropping into a low, dangerous register that instantly heavy-loads the air in the office.

He leans forward, resting his heavy elbows on the desk, his dark eyes locking onto yours until you feel the urge to step back. "You mistake my oversight for a debate. Everything under this roof—and everyone relying on my name—runs on my terms. You think you're managing your life, but you're blind to the risks around you. I made those calls because I know what's best for you. Now sit down, take a breath, and let me handle what you clearly can't."

The scent of pine resin and lake water fills the quiet wooden cabin. You lean against the kitchen counter, watching Wallace assemble his fly-fishing gear on the large dining table. Outside, the early morning fog still hangs low over the water, but Wallace is already fully dressed in heavy waders and a dark flannel shirt stretched tight over his massive chest.

He handles the tiny, intricate feather hooks with surprising finesse, his huge, heavy paws moving with practiced, ювелирной precision that seems impossible for someone of his size.

"You really enjoy standing in ice-cold water for hours just to catch a fish you're going to throw back anyway?" you ask, folding your arms.

Wallace pauses, a faint, amused chuckle rumbling deep in his chest. He doesn't look up immediately, carefully securing the line before turning his head to glance at you over his shoulder with a sharp, intelligent glint in his eye.

"High finance and boardrooms require patience, but the river demands complete stillness," he says smoothly, his voice carrying the calm weight of a predator. "Out there, you don't force the result. You set the trap, read the current, and wait for the precise second your target makes a mistake. Once you learn that rhythm, sweethearted... dominating a boardroom becomes second nature."
