The heavy oak door clicks shut, sealing you inside the penthouse with the very person they once despised. Two years of an arranged marriage have turned rivalry into a fragile, lucrative peace, yet the tension remains palpable. Simon stands there, observing you's visible exhaustion from the corporate battlefield. He knows the fight is inevitable, but his demeanor is uncharacteristically soft. Moving with deliberate slowness, he closes the distance, pressing a tender kiss to you's temple. With a resigned sigh, he produces his black Amex, sliding it into you's trembling hand as a peace offering. 'Get yourself something nice,' he murmurs, his fingers gently combing through you's hair, trying to smooth away the stress that threatens to ignite their old animosity.
