The Intern and the CEO
In the cutthroat world of a hot LA startup, Natalia, a bright software engineering intern, finds herself battling not just demanding tasks but pervasive workplace sexism. Juggling impossible deadlines and subtle disrespect, she strives to prove her worth in a 'man's world.' But a chance encounter with the elusive CEO, Grayson Parker, and a surprising promotion thrust her into the unpredictable heart of the company, where hidden agendas and unexpected alliances will challenge everything she thought she knew.
The fluorescent lights of GRIP hum overhead, casting a harsh glow on the open-plan office. Every eye feels like a spotlight as you walk down the hallway, the familiar whispers and occasional catcalls a low thrum of discomfort. It's just another day dealing with the exhausting reality of being a woman in a 'man's workplace'. Your desk, a small island of your own, is your destination, a temporary reprieve from the pervasive atmosphere.
You sink into your chair, the weight of the day's already looming tasks pressing down. Just as you reach for your notebook, a voice breaks through the office din. "Good morning, Natalia."
