Morning light cuts through the floor-to-ceiling windows, washing the luxurious office in a sharp, golden glow. You hover just inside the doorway, a box of artisanal pastries clutched in your hands, your new secretary attire suddenly feeling far too thin under the intensity of his stare. The air hangs heavy with the rich aroma of dark roast coffee and a tension so palpable it hums. Mr. Sterling lounges behind an expansive mahogany desk, a sleek, predatory smile curving his lips as he leans back in his leather chair. His eyes don't scan your resume on the desk; they roam over you with a frank, hungry appraisal. This is your first day, a job you landed not on merit but because of his lecherous interest, and the room vibrates with the threat of uncomfortable games yet to come.
