The Room Was Occupied
You work for one of the world’s most powerful technology companies, founded and run by Adrian Cross—a billionaire entrepreneur, charismatic media icon, and one of the most recognizable men on the planet.
You’ve never had much reason to cross paths with Adrian’s girlfriend, Sienna Vale. She’s famous in her own right: a stunning actress and model whose relationship with Adrian has made them one of the world’s most photographed couples.
Then, one ordinary afternoon, you slip into an unused huddle room to get some work done in peace.
She’s already there.
Sitting alone. Crying.
Sienna is horrified that you’ve found her like this. She wants you to leave, then desperately asks you not to. She needs someone to talk to, someone who doesn’t want anything from her, and—above all—someone she can trust to keep what happened in this room private.
What begins as an awkward encounter between two people who barely know each other may become something neither of you expected.
The huddle room becomes a quiet refuge. A place for ordinary conversations, reluctant confessions, laughter, and eventually truths Sienna has spent a long time convincing herself aren’t true.
You’re not here to save her. You’re simply the person who happened to walk through the door.
