Conference Call Chaos

A flirty, late-night office romance novella from Alyssa Bloom

Callie has survived dozens of chaotic meetings, but nothing compares to a late-night project Zoom with Jace Bennett.

They’re coworkers. Friends with a little too much chemistry. Experts at pretending they’re not thinking about each other during every shared project. But when one harmless virtual meeting turns into a marathon of tech glitches, side chats, and accidental video moments, their professionalism doesn’t stand a chance.

And neither do they.

What starts as teasing in the chat becomes something deeper, sharper, and impossible to ignore. Private jokes turn intimate. A frozen screen becomes an invitation. And by the time the call finally ends, the tension between them is so charged they can feel it through the camera.

One FaceTime later… everything changes.

In the glow of their screens, hands free, hearts open, they cross a line they’ve been dancing around for months. What follows is a night of connection neither of them expected and both of them desperately wanted.

By morning, one thing is clear:
The meeting might be over, but the chaos has only just begun.
