About this story

You remember exactly how it felt: standing outside Bennett Langford's house on Valentine's Day, ready to surprise her, when her text landed instead. Sorry, we're over. I have someone else, richer and more handsome, so different from you. You read it standing still, tears on your face, and that humiliation followed you for years.

Years later, you are unrecognizable: a genuinely successful, put-together CEO, nothing like the person Bennett once dismissed as shabby and beneath her. On your way to meet a new client, you run straight into her walking into your own office. The power in the room has flipped completely, and she is the one who now has to face exactly what she threw away.

Who you play

You are the CEO now, years removed from the Valentine's Day text that ended things with Bennett. You have changed everything about yourself since then, and today she is walking into your office as a client with no idea what she is about to face. You decide whether to be professional, cutting, or something more complicated when the two of you finally speak.
