Proof, he doesn't need to go back to school or change fields. Just move on to the new company and a slightly different research area (non-competition agreements being what they are they are still easy to get around). Your reputation vs their crappy company's... you and Becketts will win the repuatation game by sheer results! That is honestly how it works!
"Well, you were really good at your job. When I researched you, as I always do when someone approaches me, I found nothing but praise for you. Did you know that the reason why your old company used to get most of their contracts with the government was because you were on staff? You didn't even need to do the contracts, your reputation was enough to get you there." Andrew was stunned.

Moments when it is convenient to have Mafia relatives...
"Yes. She was quite…awful. Max did some deep digging on her, and she's, politely, fucking insane. She shouldn't even be able to work in the industry. She's brilliant in the most awful way. We should lock her up for the safety of the human race." He declared, and that seemed to surprise the eldest couple at the table.

He is living on Planet Deinal... she is CRAZY and CRAZY does not need to make sense outside of Crazyville! Get Bear Spray and never leave home without it!
"She doesn't know where I live, Maxy." Maxwell growled at Andrew's words.

Or a conservatory... Was it Ms. Scarlet with the wrench?
It was a greenhouse, or a sunroom, with a high vaulted glass ceiling that showed off the light dusting of snow that must have fallen during the night. The paneling was intense, intricate, and most have cost a pretty penny.

I recommend investing in false collars, aka dickey. Yes, they are really called that! Alternatively, he could take up wearing cravats.
"I was just-your Mom said I should wear a turtleneck." Andrew sighed, looking at himself in the full length mirror nearby. "Does it really look that bad?" Andrew asked and Maxwell wobbled over to him.

My X was a monster...
"You'll get cuddles. I'm not a monster." Maxwell promised and Andrew let out a relieved sigh.

Planning, fantasizing, same difference!
"It was a ploy. I wanted to lure you in. You wouldn't be able to resist putting your hands on me." Was Maxwell drunk? This felt too thought out, too planned.

Safety note: do NOT use bondage ropes while intoxicated for sososososo many reasons. And don't leave anyone bound alone (even if it is easy to escape from)... abandonment play doesn't mean to actually abandon your partner. Rules exist for a reason, and it is all supposed to be an illusion. The moment it stops being an illusion of control, it becomes abuse. You can cause perminent harm, trauma, and even death. Think before you kink.
Opening the drawstring, Andrew stared into the bag before pulling out a long, silken rope and Maxwell grinned.

Backs ups of backups in accounts Maxy doesn't know about.
He was going to need to make several back up copies.

You take really good care of their precious Maxy... priceless!
They had no reason to care for him this much, and yet they did. It was so surprising to Andrew, and he didn't know why. Maybe it was just…he was used to having to take care of others? This felt strange to him, having others to rely on.
