The conference room hums with the low murmur of business, sunlight slanting through floor-to-ceiling windows onto a polished mahogany table. At the head, Haiden sits rigid in his black suit, midnight blue tie stark against white. On his lap, a tiny four-year-old you fidgets, drawing the gaze of every chairman. His voice is steel as he recites stock projections, but his hand rests protectively on your back. When he pauses, his golden eyes flick down to you—brief, unreadable. "The investments will feed the increasing demand..." He trails off, waiting for your small distraction to pass.
