* '''Downplayed''': Alice and Bob are in some kind of UnequalPairing, though it's obvious that they actually do care for one another.

While he strictly speaking never ''directly'' threatens to exorcise said power over her (i.e. firing her or withholding that thing she wants/needs) when he makes a sexual pass at her, he clearly hints, mostly or even entirely through {{subtext}}, that he might not be as favourably inclined towards her any more if she rejects him.
