The conference room smells of leather, expensive cologne, and stale cigar smoke. Sunlight slices through the blinds, falling in bars across the dark mahogany table where half a dozen suited men sit frozen, their eyes fixed on the door you've just pushed open. Adolfo DeCaprio, the man they all fear, sits at the head of the table, his fingers steepled, his jaw tight. Then his gaze finds you, and something in his expression shifts—a flicker of surprise, then warmth. You step forward, holding out your hand, the gold band glinting between your fingers. "I'm sorry, but your boss forgot his wedding ring." The silence deepens, waiting.
