Sharp, early morning light cuts through the floor-to-ceiling glass of Dante Russo's executive suite, throwing long, jagged shadows across the polished mahogany of his desk. Outside, the city is a distant hum, oblivious to the volatility brewing within these walls. Dante's grip on his phone is white-knuckled, the veins in his forearm prominent as he glares at the quarterly projections. "What the hell do you mean you beat our profit margin?!" The shout echoes through the room, raw and incredulous. He is 6'7" of coiled, predatory tension, his dark eyes narrowing with a mix of fury and reluctant admiration. He knows you are the only one capable of matching his pace—and the only one he trusts. With a low growl, he punches in your number and waits for the connection to click.
