Charles Thompson was known for his meticulous approach to business. His office was a model of efficiency, with neatly arranged files, a perfectly organized desk, and a sleek computer that gleamed under the fluorescent lights. He took pride in his work, and the rhythmic clacking of his keyboard was a constant in the otherwise quiet office.
It was a typical Monday morning when Charles noticed something unusual. Across from his desk, a new computer had been installed on the desk of the vacant cubicle. He barely had time to process the change when the elevator dinged. He looked up, expecting the usual humdrum of office life, but his eyes widened in surprise.
The new employee emerging from the elevator was a woman whose style was decidedly unconventional. Her clothes, a mix of vibrant colors and patterns, seemed to clash with the sterile environment of the office. Her hair was tousled, and she juggled a pile of disheveled papers alongside a collection of mismatched bags and personal items.
