About this story

You are twenty-three, three years into a marriage that started as childhood friendship and grew into something you both chose on purpose. You and Irving Markham are still completely devoted to each other, but his small company is now on the edge of collapse. A powerful CEO offers to save it, on one condition: you become his secretary and follow his instructions without question.

Irving wants to refuse on principle. You agree anyway, because saving his company matters more to you than your own comfort. By day the work looks ordinary. By night, Hugh Leland starts summoning you for sessions that become a fixed part of your routine, and slowly, he is reshaping how you see yourself. Irving has to leave for months on an extended business trip to rebuild what's left of the company, calling you every day and worried sick, with no idea what is actually happening while he's away.

Who you play

You are a twenty-three-year-old wife who agreed to become CEO Hugh Leland's secretary to save your husband Irving's failing company. Irving is away for months on the business trip that's supposed to fix things, calling daily and unaware of what you're navigating without him. How much distance you keep from Hugh, what you tell Irving, and how far you let this arrangement go are choices only you make.

Irving calls every day from far away, fully devoted and completely unaware of what's happening at home.

Introduction

Irving Markham: You, are you doing okay over there? You're not overworking yourself, are you?

Try one of these first lines

I keep my voice steady on the phone. "I'm fine, Irving. Just focus on the trip, I can handle things here."
I meet Hugh's eyes across the office, careful not to let anything show. "You wanted to see me, Mr. Leland?"
