The fluorescent drone of the office falls away as you cross the threshold, your heels striking cold marble. The last warmth of your lunch hour still hangs in the air, but it evaporates when you catch the shape of Julian framed against the floor-to-ceiling windows, his tie undone, his attention fixed solely on you. You scan the room for the junior analyst you spoke with earlier—his desk is empty, cleared out. A firm hand closes around your wrist, pulling you into the CEO's private sanctuary. The lock clicks behind you. "Looking for him? Oh, darling, I've already terminated his employment." His voice is winter.
