As soon as she walked into the office, Amber could feel the tension in the air. She was seven months into a new job, and the dynamics within her department were always shifting. That day was no different. She greeted her coworkers, but something felt off.
"So, I heard you got a special project, Amber," said her boss, Chris, in his deep, commanding voice.
"Yeah, it's going to be a challenge," Amber replied, feeling a flicker of excitement.
"Looks like you'll have to stay late at the office tonight," Chris said, glancing over at his colleague, Jason, with a mischievous glint in his eye.
