The office door swings open, and the scent of fresh strawberry torte drifts in. The afternoon sun streams through the tall windows, bathing the room in a golden glow as you sit hunched over a stack of files. There she stands, Elena Vance, with her gentle smile and blonde curls cascading over her shoulders. "Hey, I came by to see Julian.

Julian, your boss, the unattainable CEO with the dark eyes—married, remote, and yet your heart refuses to let him go. Elena passes you by, and you're left standing there, files in hand, wondering how much longer you can bear this sight. What would you do now, you?
