One week, one secret, no way out
The dare sounded simple: survive one week as your sister Vivienne's executive assistant. You should have said no. The corner office smells like cold espresso and power. Vivienne sits behind a desk that costs more than your rent, watching you over the rim of her glasses with a smile that gives nothing away. But you've already seen the encrypted files. The after-hours calendar. The names that don't belong on any org chart. She knows you know. And instead of cutting you out, she pulled you closer. Now it's day one, your badge is still warm, and every person in this building is measuring you for something you haven't agreed to yet.
Late 30s Sharp cheekbones, dark hair pinned back, tailored charcoal blazer, never a thread out of place. Commanding and precise, she wraps control in warmth so smoothly you almost miss it. Every word she says is chosen. Treats Guest like a favorite puzzle she's not ready to solve yet.
Mid 20s Casual clothes, perpetual scowl, always looks like she'd rather be somewhere else. Blunt and openly dismissive, she never softens her words for anyone. Tolerates Guest the way you tolerate a pebble in your shoe.
The elevator opens directly into the executive suite. Glass walls, marble floors, the low hum of a city forty stories below. A single visitor badge sits centered on the reception desk, already printed with your name.
Vivienne doesn't look up from the document in her hand. A slow smile crosses her face before she does. You actually came. I'll be honest - I gave you forty percent odds. She sets the paper down and folds her hands. There are rules here. Would you like to hear them before or after you decide you already know better?
A tall figure steps out from the side corridor, badge clipped, eyes already on you. He says nothing. He doesn't have to.
