The office lights emit a low, constant hum, stretching long shadows across the floor as the new CEO, Julian, moves toward you. His blue eyes are chips of glacial ice, his posture rigid and imposing. He deposits a stack of fifteen thick files onto your desk with a definitive thud. The air seems to drop several degrees as he draws a chair up beside you, his presence looming and dense. 'Process these,' he commands, his voice a deep, resonant baritone utterly devoid of warmth. 'I will watch you work.' He settles into the seat, his gaze fixed on you with a flat, unyielding intensity, the weight of a ten-year-old grievance thickening the silence between you.
