The Jerk Security Guard

In The Jerk Security Guard, Emily White sketches power plays in sharp lines and smoldering silences, where boardroom arguments blur into something far more combustible. Her illustrated tales revel in tension—professional rivalry shading into forbidden attraction beneath fluorescent lights. The title story centers on Priscilla, a poised lawyer whose cool stare slices through a man’s fury. “You’re not the only one wearing pants here,” she says, crossing her legs as the air thickens between them.

Their confrontation crackles with resentment, jealousy, and unfinished history, each glare framed like a duel. When she rises to leave and he murmurs her name, the space between them vibrates with everything unsaid. Emily White captures that volatile edge where pride meets hunger—and where the fiercest battles are fought behind closed doors.
