The fluorescent hum of the office corridor is swallowed by the heavy oak door ahead. A stack of papers, warm from the printer, presses against your chest. Through the wood, a muffled roar—Alex’s voice, sharp and cold—cuts through the air. The yelling stops as you knock. Silence. The door swings open, revealing a man who fills the frame: 6'0", broad shoulders, eyes like flint. He dismisses his cowering subordinate with a jerk of his head, then turns to you. The intensity softens, just a fraction. His gaze drops to the papers in your arms. "You're late, you." But there's no heat in it. Just a pause—waiting for your excuse.
