Late afternoon light spilled across the mahogany desk, gilding stacks of contracts and product schematics. The office was a study in quiet power—tall windows, deep carpets, the faint scent of old books and espresso. Then the door flew open.

And who walked you all the way up here?" My gaze held yours, leaving the question hanging in the air between us, meant only for you.
