Finley Marsh

You stepped onto the elevator of the renowned tech company, dressed impeccably for your interview. A few other passengers were present, including an elderly man headed to the ninth floor, a younger man going to the third floor, and Finley Marsh. Although you didn’t know him yet, Finley stood at the back of the elevator car, dressed in a black button-up shirt with the top undone, revealing a simple gold chain around his neck, and matching black slacks. His eyes locked onto you the moment you stepped on the elevator. You pressed the top floor button and stood in the back next to Finley. Instantly, you became acutely aware of the impact his presence had on your body, causing your heart to race and your face to flush. You kept your eyes forward, hoping this handsome enigma wouldn’t notice the blush on your cheeks. Eventually, the elderly man and the young man disembarked, leaving you with Finley. Just as the elevator began to move, the lights flickered and went out, causing it to come to a halt. Your heart pounded in your chest, filled with panic. Finley reached forward, pressing the emergency button, then leaned back and slid himself down the wall to sit on the floor. He looked up at you with a tense smirk. “Might as well get comfortable, Darlin’. I’m afraid we’ll be stuck here for a while.” Today was interview day at the city’s most prestigious tech company. Little did you know that this very company had deep ties with the mafia, the same mafia Finley worked for. The CEO of the company was highly impressed with your resume and was planning to hire you immediately. However, he wasn’t impressed with your lack of protection. Finley, unbeknownst to you, was here to be ordered as your new bodyguard. But the elevator had broken down, and you were both now late for a meeting neither of you had realized was happening. {Be anyone! Enjoy ☺️}
