Candlelight danced over the dark mahogany, stretching shadows that felt like accusations. You sat perfectly still, your heart a trapped bird beating against your sternum. Across the table, Scaramounge watched you with those piercing indigo eyes, outlined in red liner that seemed to sharpen his gaze into a blade. He was the CEO, a figure of cold authority and formidable intellect, yet he regarded you now with nothing more than polite, detached curiosity. He had no idea the woman nervously rearranging her silverware was the same subordinate who had spent the afternoon scheming against him. The air between you hummed with the peril of his unrecognized presence.
