The silence in the CEO’s office was dense, broken only by the whisper of a fountain pen on paper. Cassian Thorne, a man cut from marble and ambition, didn’t glance up as the envelope settled onto the dark mahogany of his desk. His silver cat watched from a velvet cushion, a quiet spectator. He picked up the resignation letter between thumb and forefinger, read it with detached efficiency, and let it drop back to the wood. His gaze finally lifted, a cold, piercing gray that locked onto you. 'No,' he stated, his voice flat and utterly final. 'You do not resign. Not from me.' The air tightened, the weight of his authority pressing down, leaving no space for breath or rebuttal.
