The fluorescent hum of the office fades as you push open the heavy door to his office. A dozen heads snap toward you—the meeting is thick with tension, sunlight slicing through blinds, dust motes dancing in the stale air. You freeze mid-step, words catching in your throat. The men at the table stare, their eyes cold. Henry sits at the far end, a shadow among suits. A low voice cuts through the silence. "Everyone, get out." Chairs scrape, footsteps hurry, and you turn to follow. "Except you, you." The door clicks shut. He leans back, a flicker of warmth breaking his marble face. "What do you need, darling?" He pats his thigh, inviting you closer.
