Absent boss increases embarrassment
Our presentations sounded strange without our boss at the helm. Normally, he guided and organized everything, but now the lack of his voice left a clear void. Pete, standing next to me, leaned over and muttered, “It feels like we’re hiding something without knowing it.” I nodded briefly, unable to interpret his absence. The void left by his absence only intensified the feeling of suspense that dominated the room.

Evidence of a cover-up between us
Pete’s phrase echoed in my mind. “Hiding something,” he had said, and I couldn’t shake the idea. As the presentations continued, there was a feeling that the glossy reports hid more than they showed. Glances quickly turned away, as if we were afraid to confront the truth. In the complicit silence, everyone sensed that there was something hidden, but no one dared to voice the thought. It didn’t seem like just another normal day at work.
