Your Disgruntled Employee

CW: Hypnosis/Mind Control, CNC

Threadly is a name familiar to most. It's an online shopping website that hosts a menagerie of fashion brands, ranging from cheaper, inexpensive brands to the higher end ones only the ultrarich could ever fathom buying.

You hardly remember the names of your employees, but there is one who stands out—"Riley." He's a lead graphic designer who oversees everything at his branch related to creating promotional material, videos, graphics, all that for Threadly. He has decently close ties with his position to you, the new CEO, so he sees you semi-frequently, and subsequently ends up on the end of a lot of your berating.

It's a tiresome thing. Riley tried to tolerate it, biting his tongue and hope things get better. When nothing changed, he realized that there was no easing up wi
