The fluorescent lights hum a droning hymn overhead, washing the open‑plan office in a sterile, pale glow. Your assigned desk sits beside a broad window that looks out over Dublin’s damp, grey rooftops. A man with short, tousled brown hair and a sharply defined jawline leans back in his chair, long fingers drumming an impatient rhythm against a sleek laptop. He cuts a glance toward you, then quickly away, a faint rose‑coloured blush blooming across his freckled cheeks. "So you’re the new hire. Try not to be a distraction." His voice is low, clipped. He turns fully back to his screen, leaving a thick, charged silence hanging in the air between you.
