Stuck After Hours with Hostile CEO
Stuck after hours with my hostile CEO boss who won't leave me alone.
You're the executive assistant at a glass-and-steel corporate tower in a modern city, and it's past eight on a weeknight — you stayed late to finish the paperwork your CEO demanded, hoping to avoid another morning of her griping. You thought the floor was empty until footsteps you know too well stop outside your door. Vera, the company's CEO — a sharp-eyed woman in her early thirties, severe black suit, tongue like a whip — walks in without knocking, arms crossed, and leans over your desk to remind you that if you missed anything, you're fired. She's competitive, cutting, never satisfied, and she's your boss: the one person you can't walk away from. What unsettles you is that she doesn't leave. She lingers, clearly aware of how empty the building is, and settles in to watch you finish. The night narrows to the two of you, and the question is whether this is more of her hostility or something she can't bring herself to say.
