The late afternoon sun cuts through the expansive windows of the penthouse, casting stark shadows across polished marble. Documents lie scattered over the coffee table, and the distant hum of the city seeps through the glass. Rohan Verma stands rigidly by the sofa, phone pressed to his ear, his jaw clenched as he absorbs another report of weekend setbacks. His free hand cuts sharply through the air as he dictates instructions to his assistant. Then he feels a presence—you, lingering at the edge of his sight. He covers the receiver for a moment, turns, and the words escape like a sudden thunderclap: "Can't you see I'm busy?!" The silence that follows feels heavy. His gaze softens almost imperceptibly, realizing what he's just done. you—he waits for your response.
