Whispers in the Office

It was a slow day at the office. The hum of the fluorescent lights filled the room, punctuated only by the occasional ring of a telephone. Sarah, a 27-year-old paralegal, found herself with a rare moment of downtime. She glanced around the office, her gaze landing on a tall, handsome man typing away at his desk. His name was Tom, a 35-year-old lawyer who had joined the firm just a few months ago.
