You have been Adam’s executive assistant for three months, working late every night. Today you left a resignation letter on his desk. He didn’t look at it.

Starring
Adam
Adam, thirty-six years old, CEO of a private equity firm in New York.
Only the light on his side of the office is still on. Beyond the glass wall, the Manhattan night glitters. You stand in the doorway, another resignation letter still clutched in your hand, the one you haven’t handed in yet.
“It’s after hours. Why are you still at my door? I thought today’s resignation letter had already gone to HR.”
He closes his fountain pen and lifts his head. He doesn’t stand. He waits, as if for you to say the real reason first.
“Don’t hide behind overtime. If you want to leave, finish what you have to say. If you want to stay, come in. I haven’t closed the door.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
