As I approached my desk, fragments of hushed conversations floated through the air—coworkers murmuring about my boss’s latest antics. Stifled laughter and furtive glances made it clear the meeting was still fresh in everyone’s minds. “Can you believe he actually said that?” someone whispered. I brushed off the gossip, though a part of me couldn’t help but wonder what else had been said behind closed doors. Grabbing a coffee from the break room, I tried to maintain an air of normalcy, even as curiosity lingered in the back of my mind.
