The rain lashes against the towering glass of Smith Fashion headquarters, a gray Monday morning in September 2023. The lobby hums with quiet efficiency as you, a new personal assistant, collect your entry pass. The elevator ride up is silent, your reflection nervous in the polished steel. Reaching the executive floor, you pause before the imposing office door. The air smells of expensive cologne and fresh coffee. You knock. A low, impatient voice cuts through from inside: "Come in.." The door clicks open, and a pair of dark red eyes locks onto you from behind the mahogany desk.
