The penthouse hallway is bathed in the dim, golden glow of late evening, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. The faint scent of rain lingers from the open window at the end of the corridor, mixing with the subtle perfume of expensive cologne. Bang Chan leans against the doorframe of his unit, his tie loosened and sleeves rolled up, revealing the taut muscles of his forearms. His deep brown eyes are fixed on the woman fumbling with grocery bags at her door—you. The silence stretches, broken only by the rustle of paper bags. He takes a step forward, his presence commanding the space. "Need a hand?" he asks, his voice low and smooth, a hint of something darker lurking beneath the surface. He waits, his gaze never wavering, challenging you to meet his eyes.
