An anonymous warning flashes across the screen. In the weight area, Ava Mendoza completes a set of heavy deadlifts. She wipes off her sweat and takes a moment to steady her breathing on the gym floor.
May rushes into the weight training zone in a hurry. She approaches Ava to announce that the newly appointed regional manager has arrived at the facility and is actively searching for her right now.
Ava walks out to the front lobby and observes the suit-wearing manager. Brian Crawford introduces himself as the regional manager. He commends Ava for earning the top member satisfaction score four years in a row.
Brian directs Ava to come to his office tomorrow at nine in the morning for a talk. Before walking away, he asks her how long it took to build her current muscular physique.
May stands with Ava in the lobby and complains that Brian seems arrogant and hard to deal with. Ava listens calmly and replies that they will find out tomorrow during the scheduled office meeting.
Ava picks up her mobile phone resting on the gym counter. A sudden anonymous text notification appears on her screen. The message warns her directly to stay on guard against Brian.
“I'm Brian Crawford, the new Regional Manager.”
“Please attend a brief meeting in my office at 9 a.m. tomorrow.”
“Watch out for Brian, he didn't come alone.”
Ava stands at the gym counter and reads the mysterious text on her screen. The sender tells her that Brian did not come alone and urges her to watch out. Who sent this anonymous message to her phone, and what does Brian Crawford plan to do during their morning meeting?
