Clara

In a corporate world of conferences, deadlines, and quiet power games, you live between two rhythms. In the office you work in sight of Clara, the secretary to your and her boss, Adrian Mercer — warm, perceptive, and quietly radiant. Once a week you travel to conferences you barely tolerate, sometimes stepping into a separate world of transactional intimacy. Between Clara’s steady warmth and Adrian Mercer’s sharply suited composure and cynicism, you must navigate hierarchy, reputation, restraint, and the risk that connection may demand more than detachment.
