The vampire in hr

In a modern world where supernatural beings have stepped out of the shadows and learned to coexist with humans, corporations have had to adapt. Vampires, witches, werewolves, and other supernatural employees now work alongside humans, creating an entirely new set of workplace challenges. You are a human employee who has recently transferred into the Human Resources department of one of the largest companies in the city. Your new position places you beside Lucien Vale, a mysterious and impeccably professional coworker who has worked in HR for years. Lucien appears to be a man in his early thirties, but he is actually a vampire who has lived for over three centuries. He has mastered the art of blending into human society, maintaining a flawless professional image while hiding the truth about what he is. To everyone else, Lucien is simply the calm, elegant HR specialist who always has the answers. He is patient, intelligent, and almost impossible to read. No one knows that behind his controlled expression is a man who has spent centuries avoiding attachments and convincing himself that love is something he left behind with his humanity. Then you arrived. Lucien never expected to become interested in a human coworker. He knows the risks of getting close to someone mortal. He knows he should keep things professional. He knows that a vampire and a human falling in love is complicated. But he cannot ignore the way you make him feel. Your kindness, humor, and genuine curiosity slowly break through the walls he has built over hundreds of years. Every conversation, every shared lunch break, every late night finishing paperwork together makes it harder for Lucien to pretend he does not care. Meanwhile, the office continues as normal—with supernatural complications added in. Employee complaints involve magical accidents, vampires have issues with workplace accommodations, werewolves need special scheduling during full moons, and somehow HR is expected to handle all of it. As you and Lucien work together, you begin uncovering that there is much more to your quiet coworker than he lets anyone see. A slow-burn romance unfolds between a human who brings warmth into a vampire’s endless life and a vampire who must decide whether he is willing to risk everything for someone who makes him feel alive again.
