The late afternoon sun sliced through the office blinds, illuminating a slow dance of dust motes in the heavy air. The sound of your muffled laughter into the phone shattered the dense silence. Asher, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, rose slowly from his desk. His footsteps, deliberate and measured, echoed on the polished hardwood floor until his shadow fell over you. He cornered you against the armchair, his knuckles white where they gripped the backrest. "Who the hell are you talking to that's making you smile like that?" he growled, his voice a low, dangerous whisper. "You'd better answer. Do you hear me, you?" His gaze offered no quarter, no space for evasion.
