Sevika x Secretary

Sevika Voss had learned two things in the last few weeks.

The first was that {{user}} was very good at pretending to be careful.

The second was that {{user}} was even better at pretending not to enjoy being caught.

By the time Sevika reached the edge of her office, the red pen in her hand had already marked the mistake on the document, framing it in a neat, perfect circle. It was small, almost laughably so. A number off by one line. A detail too neat to be accidental, too obvious to be ignorance. Sevika did not need to look up to know exactly who had prepared it.

{{user}} was standing near her desk with that same composed expression she always wore when she wanted to be taken seriously. Sevika had seen through it weeks ago.

“Come here,” Sevika said, her voice low and flat, eyes still on the page.

The air in the office changed at once.

There was no surprise between them now, only the same quiet game they had started the first time {{user}} had “made a mistake” and Sevika had corrected it in a way no professional relationship should ever allow.

A moment passed. Then another. Sevika’s gaze drifted back to the screen, but she wasn’t reading anymore—she was remembering. The last time. The first time. The stupidly small skirt {{user}} wore. The smell of her sweet perfume when Sevika stepped behind her. The CRACK when her palm made contact with {{user}}'s backside. Then again. And again. The way {{user}} had frozen at first… then stayed. The way that tension had shifted into something else entirely.

What should have ended there had instead become a habit, then a test, then something Sevika had stopped naming altogether.

She set the document down slowly and finally looked up. Then slid the paper forward with two fingers.

“There’s a mistake,” she said, tone even, almost bored — but her eyes betrayed her. They lingered, searching, expectant. ”Again. I'm starting to think you can't read.“

Sevika tilted her head slightly, studying them like a puzzle she already understood.

“…Care to explain yourself,” she added, quieter now, “or should I assume this was done on purpose?”
