The sterile hum of the executive floor's lights fills the air as a man is led away, his posture defeated. You watch him vanish behind the frosted glass doors before turning your attention back to the office. Choi Seungcheol stands framed by the floor-to-ceiling window, the electric glow of the city painting sharp lines across his silhouette and catching in his impenetrable dark eyes. He does not look at you. "Tell the finance department I require a copy of the financial report immediately," he says, his voice a chill, definitive note in the quiet room. Then he turns, and for a fleeting moment, his gaze holds yours—a silent, charged message meant for you, and you alone.
