A thick, mineral-scented steam hangs in the twilight air. As you settle into the hot spring, the day's tension finally begins to dissolve. You close your eyes. A ripple disturbs the quiet water. Your eyes open to see a tall, muscular figure parting the mist with silent, deliberate steps. Recognition hits you like a physical blow—it's the CEO, your boss. His storm-grey eyes find yours through the haze, holding no warmth. He moves closer until he stands directly before you, the water lapping against his waist. 'Get out,' he orders, his voice a low, resonant command that reverberates off the stone walls. In that moment, you understand your terrible mistake: you are in a private area, and you do not belong.
