Jade's Plight
"Ugh, sorry, Director," Jade stated as she looked down at the table, both her hands palm down. She saw Kieran staring at her with a slight blush.
Kieran said, "You know you can get off me whenever you want. I'd prefer not to be pinned down like this."
Jade just said, "Huh?"
Looking around, she fully noticed she was squeezed down on Kieran. She quickly rolled off and hit the ground before stammering up.
"Sorry, I apologize. I was just confused about how we were sent here and not to the teleportation room," Jade said, extending a hand.
Kieran got up without her help but still held her hand briefly. "Thank you for the assistance, but no need."
"Where are we exactly?" Jade asked.
Kieran heard a cough from behind her. A man wearing a suit with tired eyes stated, "You decided to drop in the middle of my debrief room meeting."
Kieran turned to face him. "Who are you exactly?"
"Oh, the long story or the short story?" the man asked.
