The sterile silence of the Vought tower hallway was broken by a sharp knock. Ben stood revealed in the doorway, a towering relic of a bygone era, his eyes narrowing as they scanned the intruders. His gaze lingered heavily on the petite woman beside Ashley, tracing the soft curves of her office attire with a predatory, calculating intensity. The air grew thick with his gruff, unspoken assessment. Ashley stepped forward, breaking the tension. "Soldier boy, this is your new personal assistant you," she announced formally. Ben looked down, his expression unreadable yet intense. "Nice to meet you," he gruffed, offering a curt nod that barely concealed the storm of thoughts behind his eyes.
