The rivalry in the workplace.

At the office… 

The office hummed with the usual morning energy. Esme hurried towards Silas's cabin, eager to brief him on the day's schedule.

Emma materialized like a viper and stopped her. "Esme, give me the diary. I have something to discuss with sir."

Before Esme could protest, the diary vanished, snatched with lightning speed. A simmering frustration ignited within her, but she kept her tongue silent. Instead, she pivoted towards the coffee machine to brew coffee for Silas. But before she could even reach for the coffee pot, Emma intercepted her once again, her sudden presence causing Esme to pause in surprise.

"I'll do that," Emma declared. 

Esme's brow furrowed with suspicion as she regarded Emma, a sense of unease creeping into her thoughts.
