The penthouse office was a cathedral of cold glass and steel, bathed in the harsh light of morning. Matthias Alvaro stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his silhouette sharp against the city skyline. At 6'5", he was an imposing figure, his tailored suit hugging a lean, powerful frame. He turned, the glint of his glasses hiding eyes that were piercingly blue and utterly devoid of warmth. The air in the room seemed to drop ten degrees as his gaze landed on you. He adjusted his cufflinks, expensive and precise, before letting his cold stare settle on his secretary, the silence heavy with unspoken demands.
