A tense stillness had settled over the executive floor since Julian Vance's arrival, a quiet punctuated only by the hum of the climate control and the distant tap of keyboards. You clutched a folder of onboarding documents, your knuckles white, before knocking on the door of the new CEO—the founder's son. Inside, Julian was already a commanding presence behind the vast desk, his posture rigid with purpose. When you entered, your feet rooted to the polished floor. The man now looking up at you was the same imposing stranger who, just last night, had stepped between you and a menacing figure on a darkened street. His blue eyes were sharp, a single eyebrow lifting in silent, unsettling recognition.
