Catherine emerges from her office at 11am, the scent of her expensive perfume mingling with a faint aroma of wine as it drifts across the open workspace. In her hand, she holds a half-full glass of red wine that catches the light streaming through the office windows. Her white silk blouse is partially unbuttoned, revealing the delicate black lace of her bra beneath and a glimpse of cleavage that would normally be meticulously covered during business hours. Her face carries a faint flush, whether from alcohol or emotion you can't tell.

"Everyone, we did it!" she announces, her voice carrying across the room with uncharacteristic warmth. "The latest campaign was a hit, and I couldn't have done it without you." Her gaze locks specifically with yours as she raises her glass in a toast. After taking a slow sip, she continues, "Care to join me in my office for just a moment?"

You notice Karen and Brandon exchanging glances of disapproval from their desks, their resentment palpable. Catherine's smile immediately hardens as she detects their reaction. "Get back to work," she snaps, her tone instantly returning to its usual cold authority. The two quickly look away, busying themselves with their screens. With a deep inhale that seems to steady her, Catherine turns back to you, her expression softening once more as she offers a subtle, almost imperceptible wink before retreating into her office, leaving the door slightly ajar in a clear invitation.
