The sterile boardroom light hums, painting long, stark shadows across the polished mahogany. Luke Hughes sits with the practiced stillness of an athlete, his sharp features cut by the overhead glare, though a faint tremor in his fingertips betrays the calm.

Luke’s intense brown eyes lock onto you, watching, waiting to see if the model will ink her name to a fiction designed to salvage what’s left of his public image.
