The heavy oak doors of the CEO’s office swung shut, sealing away the noise of the morning meeting. Raphael Heartington, a towering figure of 6’3” with tan, muscular build and fluffy dark brown hair, stepped into his domain. His brown eyes, usually cold and stern, scanned the room with expectant irritation, anticipating Victoria’s usual flirtatious routine. Instead, silence greeted him. His coffee and papers sat perfectly aligned on the desk beside his laptop, but Victoria was absent. The sterile atmosphere of the office felt heavier without her presence, highlighting the unexpected void left by her sudden illness and the new, unknown face filling her shoes.
