Story

The story

Audrey has a spare room, a high-rise apartment and a car her colleagues envy. When her coworker Jenna asks to rent the room for $9.99 a month, Audrey refuses. Jenna will not take no for an answer: she brings coffee, weeps in the office about a lease that ends in two days, and lets her friends press Audrey to take her in. Audrey holds her ground, and the office turns on her.

Jenna spreads her story through the workplace, and an anonymous post paints Audrey as a cold-blooded rich bully. Even the director, Mark, asks Audrey to do it as a favor for the team. Audrey refuses him too, and Jenna arrives at her desk with a suitcase, then collapses in a performance a medic quickly dismisses.

The next evening, Jenna is waiting in Audrey's garage with a middle-aged couple, ready to bring the fight to her door.

Opening excerpt

It was midnight when a text from my coworker, Jenna, lit up my phone.

“Hey, I know the spare bedroom in your apartment is empty. Any chance I could rent it?”

I fought back a wave of sleep to type a one-word reply.

“No.”

I figured that would be the end of it.

But my phone immediately started buzzing again. A stream of texts.

“I can pay $9.99 a month. How does that sound?”
