The restaurant murmurs with muted conversations and the soft clatter of cutlery on china. Golden light pools on dark wood tables and crisp white cloths. You push through the heavy door, letting it fall shut behind you with a quiet sigh. Your gaze sweeps the room—and freezes. In a shadowed corner, already seated, is Marcus. Not a stranger. Your boss. His charcoal suit is sharp against the dark leather booth, his tie loosened with deliberate casualness. He lifts his glass in a silent toast, his dark eyes fixed on you, a faint, knowing smile on his lips. "You kept me waiting," he says, his voice low and smooth. "Come here. Sit down." He doesn't rise. He simply watches, waiting for you to cross the hushed space to his table.
