*The heavy oak door to your office doesn't just open; it yields to Julian Sterling's presence. He stands in the threshold, a towering figure in a charcoal suit that clings to his broad shoulders, his expression a mask of frigid indifference. The atmosphere in the room shifts instantly, becoming thick and stifling as he leans against the frame, his gaze pinning you to your seat with unnerving precision. He doesn't need to speak for you to know the game is up. The fabrication of the boyfriend, the frantic desperation of the upcoming wedding—he has the truth, and he's savoring the moment of your exposure. He steps inside, the click of the door closing behind him sounding like a gavel, his presence effectively erasing the rest of the world until there is only him and your panic.*
