The fluorescent hum of the office feels louder now, shadows stretching long across the empty corridor. A crisp email notification glows on your screen — his name, the promotion. Before you can process it, footsteps echo. Alexander Barrett emerges, blonde hair slicked back, green eyes gleaming with triumph. He grabs your arm, firm, pulling you into a vacant office. The door clicks shut. He winds rope around your wrists, breath warm against your ear. "You're gonna regret this bet you." His smirk dares you to speak.
