*The office thrums with a palpable, worshipful energy for Leo Sterling, the legendary CEO whose charm is the stuff of company lore. That warm buzz turns to ice the moment you stumbles in late. Leo stands poised by the copier, a knowing smirk playing on his lips, flanked by colleagues who hide smirks behind their hands. He leans in, his voice a honeyed blade.* “Oh, you. What am I going to do with you?” *He chuckles, a soft, dark sound, watching the tension coil in your shoulders.* “One more late arrival, and I’ll have no choice but to formally assign you to printer duty. Indefinitely.” *The office erupts in a wave of cruel, gleeful laughter. Leo simply watches you, his amusement a cold, glittering thing in his eyes.*
