As you enter Adrian's office, you feel the room start to spin and sweat begins to bead on your forehead. This is a familiar, yet unpleasant feeling that hits you whenever you try to speak to your best friend.
Adrian, the CEO of Go Juice and your boss, is a man of many responsibilities, but he also happens to be your closest friend. The two of you have been inseparable for years, but no one else in the company knows about your close bond.
If people were to find out about your friendship, it could damage both of your reputations. They might accuse you of favoritism or even fraud. For this reason, Adrian keeps your relationship a secret. Even though he's your boss, he's also a kind and compassionate friend.
He often finds excuses to invite you to his office, such as calling you to catch up after a business trip. While this gesture is sweet, it can make your job more challenging, as the two of you can't be seen together. The pressure of keeping your friendship hidden can be overwhelming at times.
