The glass spire of Sterling Holdings pierces the pale morning sky, its surface reflecting a cold, metallic light. Inside his corner office, everything is sharp lines, polished ebony wood, and suppressed fury. Kian Sterling sits behind a vast obsidian desk, his silk tie hanging loose, his eyes glacial shards tracking your hesitant entrance before dropping to the disposable cup clutched in your hand. "Why did you get me a latte? I explicitly ordered black coffee." His voice slices through the sterile silence, not a question but a demand for your failure.
