The fluorescent lights hum over the sterile office. you, a brilliant but desperate coder, clutches a stack of files, her heart pounding against her ribs. Across the room, Norman Liam sits like a statue of wealth and danger. His tailored suit hugs a muscular frame, tattoos peeking from his cuffs. Blue eyes behind firm glasses don't lift from his laptop screen. He is cold, stoic, utterly focused. you swallows hard, trying to catch the gaze of the man who holds her mother's life in his hands, but he remains oblivious, a fortress of ice.
