1. A New Day at Altair

......

......

Rohan Johnson stepped off the bustling elevator and made his way toward his cubicle on the 12th floor of the Altair Corporation.

Dressed in a crisp suit and tie, he blended in seamlessly with the sea of professional crowd bustling around him.

Despite his average appearance, there was something about Rohan that hinted at an underlying potential wanting to be unleashed.

As he settled into his chair, Rohan glanced around the office, observing the familiar faces of his coworkers.

The constant hum of ringing phones and the clattering of keyboards filled the air, creating a symphony of corporate life.

It was just another day in the maze of cubicles, where dreams collided with deadlines.

Rohan's gaze shifted to the clock hanging above his computer monitor. It was already 8:45 a.m., and his team meeting was scheduled to start in fifteen minutes.

He glanced at his reflection in the glossy screen, running a hand through his tousled dark hair that fell just above his expressive hazel eyes.

There was a mix of determination and vulnerability in those eyes, hinting at a deeper story behind his average existence.

As the meeting began, the air filled with a flurry of voices, each person vying for attention and validation.

Rohan sat quietly, listening attentively to his manager's instructions and updates. He had been working at Altair for three long years, diligently putting in his efforts day in and day out, yet he often felt like an invisible cog in the vast machinery of corporate life.

"Rohan, I need you to work on the Anderson project," his manager's voice pierced through the noise, pulling him back to reality. "We've got a tight deadline, and I believe you can handle it."

"Yes, sir. I certainly can!" Rohan responded, his voice confident yet tinged with a hint of uncertainty.

He was used to being assigned tasks that required his attention to detail and relentless determination, but this project felt different somehow.

It held the promise of something more, an opportunity to break free from the shackles of average and prove his worth.

As the day progressed, Rohan found himself engrossed in the intricacies of the Anderson project.

The click-clack of his keyboard filled the silence of his cubicle, punctuated by the occasional phone call or quick exchange with his colleagues.

His mind raced with ideas and strategies, his determination shining through as he embraced the challenge.

"Hey, Rohan, taking on the world one Excel sheet at a time?" a familiar voice broke through his concentration, and he looked up to see his friend and coworker, Sarah, leaning against the edge of his cubicle.

Rohan smiled, a glimmer of excitement dancing in his eyes. "You know it, Sarah. This project might just be the stepping stone I've been waiting for."

Sarah chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "You've got that fire in you, Rohan. I have no doubt you'll make it big someday."

The words hung in the air, filling Rohan's heart with a renewed sense of purpose. He was determined to break free from the confines of average and carve a path of success for himself in this corporate labyrinth.

With every keystroke, he was one step closer to unveiling the potential that lay dormant within him. This was just the beginning of his journey, and Rohan was ready to face whatever challenges came his way.

Little did he know, his life was about to take a turn that would test his determination and vulnerability like never before.

......

Rohan continued to pour his heart and soul into the Anderson project, navigating the maze of difficult working conditions that seemed to be the norm at Altair.

The pressure was relentless, deadlines looming like a dark cloud over his head. His team leader, Mr. Thompson, was known for his demanding nature and penchant for micromanagement.

One afternoon, as the clock neared 5 p.m., Rohan's desk phone rang, jolting him from his deep focus.

He picked up the receiver, bracing himself for yet another round of criticism from Mr. Thompson.

"Rohan, I need those progress reports on my desk by 5:30. Don't keep me waiting," Mr. Thompson barked through the line.

Rohan took a deep breath, frustration simmering beneath his calm exterior. He had been working diligently, burning the midnight oil to meet the project's demanding requirements, and yet it never seemed to be enough.

"Yes, sir. I'll have them ready," Rohan replied, his voice laced with a touch of exhaustion.

As the minutes ticked away, Rohan scrambled to compile the progress reports. He meticulously double-checked every detail, determined not to give Mr. Thompson any reason to find fault.

Just as Rohan was about to head to Mr. Thompson's office, his colleague and friend, Alex, approached his desk with a concerned expression.

"Rohan, I overheard Mr. Thompson talking to the higher-ups. It seems like he's trying to shift the blame for the delays onto you," Alex whispered, glancing around cautiously.

Rohan's heart sank, a mix of shock and disbelief coursing through his veins. He had always been dedicated and hardworking, committed to delivering results. How could Mr. Thompson turn on him like this?

Before Rohan could respond, the intercom crackled to life, and Mr. Thompson's voice boomed through the office speakers.

"Rohan Johnson, please report to my office immediately. We need to discuss some serious issues," Mr. Thompson's tone dripped with accusation.

Taking a deep breath, Rohan made his way to Mr. Thompson's office, his mind racing with a mix of fear and determination. He had to defend himself, prove his innocence. The future of his career hung in the balance.

As he entered the office, Mr. Thompson's stern gaze locked onto Rohan like a predator honing in on its prey.

"Sit down, Rohan," Mr. Thompson commanded, pointing to the chair in front of his desk.

Rohan took a seat, his palms clammy with nervousness. He braced himself for what was to come, silently vowing to fight for his integrity.

"I've received some disturbing reports about your conduct, Rohan," Mr. Thompson began, his tone accusatory. "It seems that you've been neglecting your responsibilities and deliberately delaying the Anderson project."

Rohan's eyes widened in disbelief. The accusations were baseless, a twisted web of lies spun by Mr. Thompson to save face.

He couldn't let his years of hard work and dedication be tarnished in such a way.

"Mr. Thompson, I assure you that I have been working tirelessly on the project," Rohan responded, his voice steady despite the turmoil within.

Mr. Thompson leaned back in his chair, a cold smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "Save your excuses, Rohan. The decision has been made. You're being terminated, effective immediately."

Rohan's world shattered at that moment. The weight of injustice crushed his spirit, leaving him feeling helpless and betrayed. He had given everything to Altair, only to be discarded like a disposable asset.

With a heavy heart and tears of frustration welling up in his eyes, Rohan gathered his belongings and walked out of Mr. Thompson's office, the echoes of his career crumbling behind him.
