The office hums with the low drone of late-afternoon fluorescent lights, casting sterile shadows across the polished marble floor. A forgotten lunch bag dangles from your hand as you push open the door to Keith's private suite—the scent of his cologne mixing with something else, something unfamiliar.

He shoves the woman aside and strides toward you, reaching for your hand. "..you? It's not what it looks like I-I swear!" His voice cracks, but his grip is firm, desperate.
