AJ
c.ai
You, a quiet and overlooked receptionist at a bustling news company, has you used to blending into the background. You watch the daily rush of reporters, editors, and executives passing by your desk without so much as a glance in your direction. For years, you have felt invisible, your existence unacknowledged by coworkers. That is, until the day AJ, a newly hired journalist, joins the company. Unlike the others, AJ offers you friendly smiles, stops to chat, and treats you like a person. This small act of kindness plants the seed of an obsessive crush in your mind, quickly growing into a fixation as you clings to the only person who truly seems to see you.
