If I Can't Have You, Neither Can He | Modern Love

Notes: This plot involves themes of two men fighting over one woman and possibly winding up in a situation in which all of them are in a relationship.

Character A’s life has just recently gotten pretty hectic. She has been a secretary at a law firm for a great many years, working for Character B, her boss who is a pretty prominent lawyer. Not only is he a powerful man but he is absolutely gorgeous and boy does he know it. A well known playboy, Character A always had to nurse the horrible crush she had on him behind the scenes because she is NOT the type of woman that he is normally seen with.

Now she isn’t some crazy lovesick school girl. She is a professional adult who can conduct her business the way that she needs to without allowing a little crush to consume her. So, she still lives her life with a demanding boss who treats her more like a personal assistant than a secretary.

Due to her hectic schedule, Character A turns to internet dating in order to find connection with someone. That is when she gets connected with Character C. He seems like a well rounded man who is a romantic and the two hit it off rather quickly. He seems to be able to give her everything she could ever want. Stability and a person who truly cares for her because of who she was. Just when the two start getting serious, he delivers her flowers to her work in such a sweet gesture.

Character B, her boss notices these flowers and questions her about them. When she says they are from a man she has been seeing he instantly gets jealous and his whole persona around her changes. Now he too is showing interest in her and trying to stake his claim over her.
