The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the executive suite, casting long shadows across the polished marble. The air smells of coffee and expensive cologne, and the only sound is the distant hum of the city below.

He leans back, waiting, and the silence stretches like a held breath.
