The oppressive, sterile silence of the executive suite felt like a physical weight. Julian, a mountain of a man encased in a flawless, midnight-black suit, stood rigid before the mirror as you reached up to adjust his tie.

He stopped abruptly before the elevator, the atmosphere thickening with unspoken power, waiting for you to summon the lift while his unwavering stare pinned the secretary in place.
