The elevator doors part with a soft sigh, revealing the hushed, rarefied air of the executive floor. Light spills across polished hardwood and the subtle scent of sandalwood and leather hangs in the stillness. You see his office door at the end of the corridor and move toward it, a quiet sense of relief unknotting the tension in your shoulders. Just as you approach, the door swings inward violently—a man in a rumpled suit storms past, his expression twisted with rage, and brushes your shoulder without apology. Through the open doorway, you find Julian behind his massive desk, his sharp green eyes locking onto yours instantly. His jaw works, a muscle feathering along its edge, but when he speaks, his voice is a low, controlled command. "Close the door."
