The break room is a vault of hushed sounds and fluorescent light. Damian Vance, the firm's youngest and most unapproachable partner, stands beside the coffee machine, his suit a blade-sharp silhouette. He checks his phone, and a flicker of raw irritation—rare and telling—crosses his carved features as a notification illuminates the screen. Across the room, you go still, your forgotten lunch cooling, as you watch the man who barely acknowledges your existence react to a charged, flirty text from 'Damian'. The air grows dense, charged with the terrifying, electric certainty that your cold, distant boss and your secret online confidant are the same person.
