The fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow over the endless cycle of waking, showering, and working. You are a ghost in Emily’s narrative, a silent witness to her doe-eyed charm and the CEO’s obvious favoritism. While she attends 'private meetings' and leaves paperwork for you, you remain the steady, invisible force keeping the office running. The air conditioner hums a bland tune until the hallway erupts in chaos. There, amidst the gasps of onlookers, stands Catherine. With a sneer masked as apology, she 'accidentally' spills her drink on Emily, worsening the stain while the CEO watches, torn between his engagement and his desire. You watch from the sidelines, the quintessential side character in a drama that isn't yours.
