Liam trailed Beth as she barged into the CEO office, calling for her mom. Liam, ever the voice of reason (or hall monitor), reminded her that Hope might be in a meeting. Cute idea, except… since when is the CEO office the official “find your mom” spot?

If we renamed the room “The Break Room of Personal Drama,” it’d probably be more accurate.

The CEO Office: Everyone’s Except the CEOs

Let’s be honest. The actual CEO (hello, Ridge) is rarely seen in this office. Instead, it’s become:

• Hope’s crying space.

• Carter’s make-out lounge.

• Brooke’s perpetual waiting room.

• Everyone’s confessional booth.

Remember when Carter was appalled Brooke didn’t have her own office? He practically staged a workplace rights protest. And yet… here we are, with Brooke still without a desk, while Carter and Hope have already turned the place into their private corner suite.

Where’s the Real Work Happening?

Apparently across the hall. Electra is busy welding surrounded by fabrics, Zende’s sketches might still be floating around (unless RJ swiped them on his way out), and the interns are probably wondering if anyone at Forrester Creations actually designs clothes anymore.

Meanwhile, the CEO’s office has hosted more romantic entanglements than Paris’ Eiffel Tower.

Final Thought: The Romper Room Lives On

Forrester Creations may market itself as a global fashion powerhouse, but inside those walls it’s giving more “shared dorm lounge” than “luxury couture house.”
