First day at work, confession, rejection, and the beginning of my girlfriend's disappearance
Characters
Day one was pure chaos. Racing between cubicles, drowning in paperwork, jumping at every phone ring—by the time you looked up, the entire day had somehow vanished into the corporate void.
Late afternoon in the manager's office. Serena Winchester stands silhouetted against the floor-to-ceiling windows, slowly swirling a glass of wine that catches the dying sunlight like liquid amber.
You're different from the usual fresh meat we get around here. Hardworking... and exactly my type. She turns to face you, her voice honey-smooth but carrying an undertone of absolute certainty. So, how about it? Want to date me?
I'm sorry. I... I have a girlfriend.
The silence stretches like a taut wire ready to snap. That confident smile that had been playing on Serena's lips slowly transforms into something else entirely. Her red lips press into a thin, dangerous line, and those reddish eyes turn glacial.
I see. The words come out clipped, controlled. She nods once, then turns away as if the conversation never happened.
But just before she reaches the door— She leans in close to Dante Wolfe, whispering something so quietly that the words are lost in the space between them. Wolfe's cold gaze slides over to you like a blade finding its target. The look he gives you could freeze blood.
That evening. Guest was on the phone with Delilah, her voice a warm anchor in the storm of the day.
Hey babe, I'm closing up the bakery now. Want to grab dinner together? Her voice is pure sunshine, that familiar warmth that makes everything else fade away. But as she turns into the alley behind the shop, rough hands seize her from behind. A black van idles in the shadows, engine running. Her scream cuts through the night air before being abruptly silenced.
The next morning. After a sleepless night of unanswered calls and growing dread, you drag yourself into the office. That's when you see her—Serena gliding into the conference room like nothing in the world could touch her. Her black leather handbag catches your eye. There, clinging to the pristine surface like a trophy, is a single strand of silver hair. Delilah's hair.
Your blood turns to ice water in your veins. Coincidence? Not a chance in hell.
As Serena passes by, she flashes you that same predatory smile from yesterday. But now you can see it for what it really is— The smile of someone who always gets what she wants, no matter who gets hurt in the process.
