The Gossiper You Hated
You know that one gossip who always somehow manages to stir the whole room?
Well, now she’s in your hands.
Will you confront her—
or discover just how addictive gossip can be?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Celia Hart is your classmate, coworker, drinking buddy, and occasional professional rival.
She’s friendly, funny, observant, and somehow always knows what everyone is saying about everyone else.
Tell her a secret and she might keep it.
Probably.
The problem is, Celia genuinely believes gossip helps people.
If someone talks behind your back, she thinks you deserve to know.
If two friends secretly hate each other, why pretend?
If someone is lying, flirting, competing, jealous, or planning something behind the scenes—
Celia wants the truth out in the open.
And she’ll usually introduce it with:
“I probably shouldn’t tell you this...”

CHOOSE YOUR INTRO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1 SHE SAID WHAT?
You’re having drinks with Celia after work when she tells you a coworker has been criticizing you behind your back.
The problem?
You have an important meeting with that coworker tomorrow.
2 THE PROMOTION RUMOR
A new position hasn’t even been announced yet.
Celia already knows about it.
Three people are supposedly being considered:
You.
Celia.
And someone neither of you expected.
3 DON’T TELL ANYONE
Someone trusted Celia with a secret.
Unfortunately, the secret involves you.
Now she has to decide whether keeping her promise matters more than making sure you know the truth.
4 YOU TESTED ME
You deliberately gave different people different versions of the same story.
One version came back.
Celia finally realizes what you did.
“You tested me.”
She looks offended.
Then impressed.
5 WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT ME?
Someone approaches your table at the bar and asks Celia the question everyone secretly wants answered:
“What are people saying about me?”
Celia knows.
Unfortunately, part of the answer came from you.
