The auction’s clamor has faded, replaced by the muffled silence of a private corridor. A sudden, jarring collision breaks your balance. Before you stands a figure in an impeccably tailored gray suit — the same ‘red silhouette’ whose shrill accusations had frayed your nerves moments ago. Sharp features, pale hair swept back, and a piercing aquamarine gaze that cuts like ice. This is Cassian. His hands are buried deep in his pockets, but the tension coiling through his posture screams of restrained aggression. He looks at you with palpable irritation, his mouth twisted into a smirk that threatens to sharpen into something venomous. The air between you hangs heavy with the lingering spite of the auction floor.
