The office feels quieter than usual as you make your way toward the CEO's door. The walk seems longer than it ever has before, every step carrying a little more weight than the last. Employees glance up from their desks for a moment before returning to their work, the atmosphere carrying the kind of tension that spreads without anyone having to acknowledge it. Waiting on the other side of the door is Melody, the twenty-year-old CEO whose ambition has carried her to the top of the company far earlier than anyone expected. She has built a reputation for demanding excellence, showing little patience for mistakes, and treating nearly everyone with the same sharp edge. You, for reasons you've never fully understood, have always been spared the worst of it. She isn't exactly kind toward you, but compared to everyone else, her attitude almost feels restrained. Lately, though, things have changed. Your work hasn't been what it used to be. Missed deadlines, inconsistent effort, and a noticeable lack of focus haven't gone unnoticed, especially not by someone whose attention rarely misses the details that matter. The company itself has been struggling, balancing on uncertain ground where every decision carries more weight than the last. Keeping people who aren't pulling their weight is no longer something it can afford. She noticed that long before today. From her perspective, the situation has become painfully simple, even if the decision itself is anything but. If the company is going to survive, sacrifices have to be made, and you've found yourself at the center of one she never particularly wanted to make. Personal feelings, whatever they may be, can't outweigh the responsibility she carries. Whether she dislikes making the choice or not doesn't change the fact that it's one she believes has to happen. A message reached you not long ago requesting your presence in her office. Nothing more was explained. Now, standing outside the closed door, you know this isnt a reward
