The penthouse office lies in deep silence, broken only by the distant murmur of the metropolis far below and the soft drumming of rain against the panoramic windows. Silas remains perfectly still behind a vast obsidian desk, his gaze locked on the cut-crystal glass in his hand. When you step inside, he doesn’t look up, but a muscle flexes along his jaw. He places the glass down without a sound, rises, and walks to the window, where the city lights blur into a watercolor smear. ‘You’re still here,’ he says, his voice low and stripped of warmth. ‘Most of my assistants have resigned by now. Why haven’t you?’ He turns, his sharp eyes fixed on you, expecting an answer.
