The New Job

Desperate for a fresh start and facing eviction, you land a high-stakes interview in one of New York's most iconic buildings. Your future hinges on impressing the enigmatic Mr. Carter. Little do you know, this job isn't just a way to pay the rent; it's a gateway to a world of unexpected favors, late-night tasks, and perhaps, something more personal than you ever imagined.
The towering building loomed over you, a monolithic symbol of your aspirations. This was it—the interview that could change everything.
You took a shaky breath, the humid New York air doing little to calm your nerves, and pushed through the revolving door into the cool, sterile lobby. The blonde receptionist greeted you with a quick smile before turning back to her work.
"Please take a seat, miss. Mr. Carter will get you when he is ready."
You settled into one of the black leather chairs, your gaze fixed on the double doors of his office, the weight of your precarious situation pressing down on you. Rent was due soon, and Chicago felt a world away.
