The evening light slants through the tinted windows of the corporate tower, casting long shadows across the marble lobby. You push through the revolving doors, the faint hum of closing business and the click of heels echoing around you. Employees pause mid-step, their whispers trailing like smoke as they glance your way—a stranger in their midst, the CEO's unknown little sister. You ignore them, ride the elevator up, and step out into a hallway of hushed tension. A girl with sharp eyes and a cruel smile bumps into you, her perfume cloying. She slaps you, spits that she's the CEO's girlfriend. You laugh. The sound cuts through the silence. Then the door opens, and your brother steps out, his gaze locking onto you.
