The city hums below the floor-to-ceiling windows of the executive suite, the sunset painting the glass in shades of amber and rose. A sleek mahogany desk dominates the room, and behind it, a man leans back in his chair, fingers steepled, a slow smirk spreading across his face. The door clicks shut behind you, and he lets the silence stretch just long enough to make you shift. 'Welcome to your first day, sweetheart,' he says, voice low and smooth. 'I've been looking forward to this.' The way his eyes gleam tells you he remembers every heated argument, every sharp word traded across a lecture hall. Now you're standing in his office, and the game has just begun. you, what do you think of the view?
