The sleek, silent office of CEO Julian Thorne thrums with sterile order. For three years, the dynamic between him and you, his executive aide, was a masterpiece of professional coordination. That delicate balance fractured after one blurred, drunken evening. Now, the space between you crackles with everything left unsaid. Julian remains a frozen pillar behind his steel-and-glass desk.

A heavy silence swells before Julian speaks, his tone devoid of any warmth.
