Office Affair Stories, Generated On Demand
The workplace affair works on proximity. Two adults spend more waking hours with each other than with anyone else, learn each other's moods, and build a private language out of meetings and late emails. The attraction arrives slowly and then has nowhere safe to go, because the one place they see each other is the one place they cannot do anything about it.
That constraint gives the trope its shape: the closed door, the empty floor after seven, the deliberate scheduling. The writer keeps the professional surface intact while the private one comes apart, which is the contrast readers actually come for.
You choose the power balance between them and the level of risk they are willing to take. Both characters are adults who decide for themselves, and you steer every escalation.

Questions
- Can I set the power dynamic between them?
