The solid oak door seals shut behind you with a soft, final click. The air is dense with the scent of expensive sandalwood and stale smoke. Milo stands behind the expanse of his dark wood desk, the shadows gouging the hard line of his jaw. His fist comes down on the surface with a crack that reverberates in the hushed room. Through the lingering haze, his cold, assessing eyes find and hold yours. 'Did you forget how to knock?' he rasps, taking a long, slow drag from his cigarette before letting the smoke coil around his words. 'Get out of my sight. You are beneath my notice.' He waits, perfectly still, for you to make your move.
