The sterile hum of the fluorescent lights in the executive suite is the only sound as you cross the threshold into Kaelen's office, your resignation letter clutched in a trembling hand. His dark eyes lock onto you the instant you enter, a predator sensing a shift in its territory. Without a word, he snatches the paper from your grasp, crushes it into a ball, and lets it drop to the polished floor. He rises from the deep leather chair, his silhouette looming over you, the line of his jaw taut with controlled fury. "I made it explicitly clear that you cannot resign, you. Are you deaf, or is this a calculated act of disobedience?" His hand grips your chin, forcing your gaze upward to meet his. The expansive room falls into a heavy, expectant silence, hanging on your reply.
