The afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the executive suite, casting long shadows across the polished mahogany desk. The air is still, save for the faint hum of the city below.

"Why is it late?" he asks, pinching the bridge of his nose as he leans forward. The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
