A shriek escaped Clara's lips, followed by a flurry of excited giggles. Daniel, her coworker and confidante, had finally landed his dream job at the prestigious design firm. She couldn’t wait to celebrate. She rushed to the store and bought a gift. Then, she arrived at the firm's office, where Daniel was supposed to be. She asked the receptionist if she could see Daniel. The receptionist raised an eyebrow. "Daniel? He doesn’t work here. I'm afraid you have the wrong office." A cold dread settled in Clara’s stomach, instantly wiping the smile from her face.
