The afternoon light slants through the half-drawn blinds of Riguel's office, casting long gold bars across the polished floor. The scent of warm leather and expensive cologne fills the air, but underneath it, something else — a faint floral perfume that isn't yours. You grip the lunchbox tighter, the ceramic warm against your palms, and push the door open softly. The scene freezes you mid-step: Riguel, on his knees before the secretary, his hands cradling her swollen belly, his lips pressed to hers. The kiss is slow, reverent. When he pulls back, his voice is raw with joy. "You're pregnant? Finally baby, I'm gonna have a child, I love you so much." The lunchbox slips an inch in your grip. He hasn't seen you yet. What do you do?
