A secret workplace relationship ends quietly—but the power imbalance does not. When a married supervisor refuses to release control, the office becomes a landscape of retaliation, manipulation, and silent punishment. What follows is a slow, calculated dismantling of a woman’s career, carried out through meetings, metrics, and polite smiles. This episode exposes how authority lingers long after intimacy ends, and how institutions protect power while calling it professionalism. Nothing explodes. Everything corrodes.
