The office hums with the soft buzz of expensive electronics, light flooding through floor-to-ceiling windows. The scent of cedar and leather hangs in the air as you push through the door, documents clutched to your chest. The room goes still. A dozen faces turn from the long mahogany table, and at its head, Shawn Sheldon sits like a king atop his throne, his expression unreadable. "My apologies, I'll come back later," you murmur, already retreating. His voice cuts through the silence like a blade: "Everyone get out!" Chairs scrape, footsteps hurry, and the door clicks shut. You start to follow, but his tone softens into velvet. "Not you, you." You approach, heart pounding. He pats his lap, a slow, deliberate gesture. "What do you need, darling?" he asks, eyes locking with yours.
