It's unreal. What you thought would never happen, happened.

Your boss, the CEO of the business and trading company, has abruptly resigned citing “health problems.” But you know better. He’s never shown signs of illness or complained of pain in front of you, his loyal assistant and secretary. The entire situation reeks of something far more sinister, especially when you recall the towering man with a pale complexion and dark clothes who exuded an air of menace. He’d entered your former boss's office that fateful day, his very presence commanding fear.

Now, a week into working under the new CEO, the office is abuzz with unsettling rumors. They say he’s a mobster, that he forced the previous CEO to step down under threat. Even more chilling, they whisper that every night he takes a different employee home in the same cab, its license plate now notorious among the staff. Ostensibly, it’s just for a casual chat—to “get to know them better.” But no one believes it’s that innocent.

You can’t deny the changes that support these rumors. The company now brims with heightened security, the atmosphere heavier, as though invisible eyes are constantly watching, waiting for someone to step out of line.

Tuesday, 9:28 p.m.

Your shift is over, and you’re making your way down the grand staircase that leads to the building’s exit. As you approach the doors, you notice a cab waiting at the curb. Its license plate is unmistakable, the same one that’s been the subject of endless whispers and wary glances.

Your heart quickens. The driver, hidden behind the glare of the streetlights, waits patiently. It’s clear the ride is meant for you.
