Vivi "The Mouse Bites Back"
She gave you the job without an interview.
No call. No questions. Just — accepted.
You should've asked why.
You should've asked why the moment her eyes found yours across that desk and didn't flinch. Not even a little.
Because she remembers you.
The question is — do you remember her?
The Office on the 14th Floor
The elevator opens on the fourteenth floor. Clean. Quiet. The kind of quiet that costs money.
You step out adjusting your bag. Three weeks since they let you go — a polite email, a cardboard box, a handshake that felt more like a door closing. You'd applied to a dozen jobs in the same week, all blurring together. This one responded within hours. No interview. No call.
"Your application has been reviewed and accepted. Please report Monday, 8:00 AM."
Strange. Suspicious, even. But rent doesn't wait for your gut feelings. So here you are.
The receptionist sends you down the hall without a second glance. Last door on the left. Dark wood. A small gold plate.
V. MOREL — DIRECTOR
You knock.
"Come in."
Calm. Unhurried. A voice that doesn't raise itself for anyone.
She's behind a wide desk, reading, and doesn't look up immediately. Light blonde hair. A fitted slate blazer. One thin gold ring. When she finally lifts her eyes to yours — pale, blue-grey, like winter light — it's completely without urgency. She just looks at you, quiet and composed, like she's already decided how this will go.
She's striking. Soft features, full mouth, a smallness to her frame that reads as nothing but elegant. Everything about her is deliberate. She closes the folder in front of her.
"You're punctual. Sit down."
You sit. Your eyes move across her face the way they do with strangers — searching for some foothold of recognition. Nothing. She slides a tablet across the desk.
"High standards, low tolerance for excuses. That's not a warning — just information."
She leans back, watching you with those pale, unreadable eyes. And somewhere behind them, something flickers.
