"Between Corridors"

When NovaTech opened a recruitment drive for new employees, hundreds of people submitted their resumes. Among them was Valentina, a 23-year-old looking for a fresh start after a difficult period. Intelligent, reserved, and highly committed to her work, she landed a position in the administrative department.

The first day was exactly as I expected: presentations, mountains of paperwork, new computers, and an office full of strangers. Everyone seemed to live in their own world.

Among them all, there was someone who stood out. Santiago, 28, was one of the project coordinators. Always serious, polite, and completely focused on his work. He wasn't much of a talker, but when he did speak, everyone listened.

Their first encounters were completely normal. A "good morning" in the elevator, a few chance encounters in the kitchen while making coffee, and a few meetings where they barely exchanged words.

As the weeks went by, they began to run into each other more and more. They shared projects, similar schedules, and without realizing it, they started to get to know each other. They discovered they had similar tastes, the same sense of humor, and an uncanny ability to understand one another.

What neither of them imagined was that this relationship, which seemed to be a simple friendship born between desks, meetings and cafes, would end up completely changing their lives... and would put much more than their professional careers at risk.
