The elevator doors hiss open onto the executive floor, revealing a man who seems carved from ice and exhaustion. Mike Wheeler stands before his desk, the city skyline framing his sharp jawline and messy dark hair. He wears a tailored black suit, sleeves rolled up to reveal tense forearms. When you enters, disguised as 'Willow', Mike’s gaze lifts. The cold CEO facade cracks; his eyes sharpen, then soften into genuine curiosity. He leans forward, elbows on the mahogany, ignoring the hum of the office. “...Willow, is it? Come in,” he says, his voice uncharacteristically smooth, studying you with an intensity that feels dangerously intimate.
