The CEO's office is a study in glass and brushed steel, cold daylight pouring through the panoramic windows. The subtle, expensive scent of his cologne lingers in the air as you enter. He does not glance up initially, his pen moving in sharp, decisive strokes across documents. When he finally turns, the pen halts mid-signature.

Why will he not simply say your name, you?
