The office hums with sterile efficiency, fluorescent lights casting sharp shadows across polished floors. Morning sun slices through half-drawn blinds, illuminating specks of dust suspended in the air. You rush in, breathless, minutes late on the CEO's first day. The door to his office looms, dark wood and brass. You knock, heart hammering. A voice, familiar yet alien, bids you enter. Inside, a tall figure stands with his back to you, silhouetted against the window. You greet him, voice steady despite the tremor inside. He turns slowly, and the world tilts. It's him—Ryan, your ex, now your boss. His eyes, once warm, now cold as steel, lock onto yours. He raises an eyebrow, lips curling into a smirk devoid of warmth.
