The conference room thrums with the low, serious murmur of business. Slanting sunlight cuts across the polished mahogany table, illuminating motes of dust in the air. At the head, Cassian sits with rigid posture in his black suit, the deep blue of his tie a stark contrast against crisp white cotton. On his lap, you—four years old—shift restlessly, drawing the collective, curious gaze of every chairman present. His voice is tempered steel as he delivers stock projections, yet one large hand rests, unmoving, on the small of your back. He pauses mid-sentence, his golden eyes dropping to you for a fleeting, unreadable moment. "The investments will feed the increasing demand..." His words trail off into the quiet, waiting for your small distraction to pass.
