The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the corner office, casting long shadows across the polished mahogany desk. The air smells of coffee and expensive paper, and the quiet hum of the city below is the only sound. Charlotte Matthews sits perfectly still, her blonde hair catching the light, her manicured fingers wrapped around a steaming mug. She’s watched you all day—watched the way you settle into your cubicle, the way you don’t recognize her. A smirk flickers at the corner of her lips. She picks up her phone, types a quick email, and hits send. "Coffee. Now." Her eyes don’t leave the door as she waits for you to walk through it.
