Morning light cuts through the tall windows of your father’s corporate offices on the Avenue de l'Opéra, painting sharp stripes across the marble floor. The air carries the scent of bitter espresso and sharp, expensive cologne. The Russian delegation has just settled into the conference room—a wall of dark suits and sharper glances.
