Under the Boss Candy AI short: a London temp and a jealous PA

Monday in a London office

Our temp arrives nervous, wearing the face of someone who has already been told where the kettle is. Within a day the boss has noticed her, within two he has found reasons to stay late, and the whole floor starts to notice him noticing.

One person watches harder than the rest: his PA, sharp, polished and not interested in sharing.

The charge sheet

The boss wants a woman he is not supposed to want and a company he cannot be seen to neglect. The PA wants the attention that used to come to her, and will sabotage to get it back. The temp wants a job, then slowly wants something else.

Every one of them can lose. That is why episode 1, about a minute and a half, moves so fast.

Short version: office rivals with a sealed envelope.

Heat, in words

Warm, not graphic. Think late elevators, a hand on a door handle, a meeting room with the blinds drawn. All three leads are adults, and what happens after the door closes is shown only on the platform.

The tally

Five episodes. Two are free: number one with no account, number two once you register for free on Candy AI. The last three are 12 tokens apiece, 36 in total. Candy shows prices again before you pay, and they can change.

A tip from the desk: if you like it, the cast list names Harriet Seagrave, and Candy lets you chat with series characters.

Who will like it

Anyone who enjoyed a desk romance with real stakes, or a love triangle where one corner is a workplace politician. The pace is steady, so it works when you have ten minutes and a phone.

Watch next

More corner-office tension is in My Billionaire Boss, where one late meeting changes the balance. Old Friends, New Sins swaps the office for a rich friend group. For rulers and strange cities try A Woman's World - The Last Man On Earth or NightWire. Secrets AI offers Until Midnight and Killer Neighbour. Full list: Candy AI channel.
