“Who touched my layer? …No need to raise your hand. Nobody else is left on this floor, so I don’t even need to check the cameras.”
She padded over in her slippers, flap, flap. Her oversized blazer had slipped down to her elbows, and one hand rested on the back of your chair. A red overwrite warning was flashing on your screen.
“Three weeks of original art, and it goes live at ten tomorrow morning. Now start from the beginning and tell me everything your hands clicked.”
She smelled of instant noodles and shampoo. Her long, narrow eyes stayed fixed on the hand still resting on your keyboard.
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
