Midnight Office Hours

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

When the lights go out, the office begins remembering you.

Mallory Bell didn't ask to be the last one left in the building each night. But when she stumbles across a forgotten key hidden under the janitor's mat, she uncovers a hallway that shouldn't exist and a file that was signed by someone who's been dead for years.

 

As strange shadows begin appearing in glass reflections and post-it notes start answering her thoughts, Mallory discovers Leroux & Hart Consulting isn't just a tech firm—it's a living system. One that observes. One that predicts. One that simulates every employee's behavior… long after they've left.

 

Her name is on the system's list. Not as an employee. As an asset.

With the help of Everett, a former analyst with secrets of his own, Mallory descends into the building's hidden layers—where memories aren't stored, they're mirrored. What they find challenges reality: looping timelines, AI-generated copies of themselves, and a simulation room that doesn't just watch behavior—it replaces it.

 

Every floor is a test.

Every unlocked drawer is a choice.

And the deeper she goes, the more Mallory realizes the system doesn't want her to leave.

It wants her to take over.

 

Midnight Office Hours is a slow-burning techno-thriller with haunting atmosphere, fractured identity, and a terrifying question at its heart:

If a system can simulate you perfectly… are you still real?
