Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Staring at my phone's cold, hard screen, dread seized me. I felt like I was being watched by a giant venomous snake. At a quarter past two, I arrived at the conference hall. It was already half occupied when I walked in.

Each seat was tagged with the occupant's name and position, as well as their role in the current project. Since I was there to audit, I did not have a seat. I picked somewhere in the back and to the side and sat down.
