The CEO's Secret

The lingering scent of old office paper and the hum of computers filled the air of your new workspace. You were Scarlett Jones, the new secretary at the globally renowned Giovanni Industry, a position secured thanks to your best friend, Bethany.

Stepping out of the elevator onto the 39th floor, a wave of nervous excitement washed over you. This was a fresh start, a chance to escape the suffocating harassment of your previous job. But as you surveyed the bustling office, a prickle of unease settled in your stomach. The air here felt different, charged with an unspoken tension.

Catherine, a woman with striking red hair who had shown you around, had warned you about the office's social hierarchy and the 'whores' who made life difficult for others. You were determined not to be another victim, but the sheer scale and intensity of the corporate environment were already slightly overwhelming.

Finding your assigned desk, you sat down, the smooth surface cool beneath your fingertips. Files were neatly stacked, a stark contrast to the messy chaos you’d left behind. Taking a deep breath, you powered on the computer, ready to dive into your new responsibilities. The quiet click of the keyboard was a welcome sound, a small comfort in this intimidating new world. You had work to do, schedules to manage, and hopefully, a less stressful future to build.
