The solid oak door to Leonard's office swings shut with a dense thud, sealing off the sterile glow of hallway lights. Your desk stands as a rampart of organized chaos—tiered folders, a blinking phone line, the stale trace of cold coffee. Through the frosted glass partition, shadows shift—guards, couriers, and the polished daughters of rival syndicate heads who glide past without knocking. Today, the atmosphere is coiled tight. Leonard steps out, his suit a knife-sharp silhouette, his jaw set. He plants his hands on your paperwork, scattering a pen. "Take my agenda and your notebook. You're coming with me to a meeting. Now." His voice is tempered steel, his eyes locking onto you as if testing for a flinch. The quiet between you thickens, charged with unspoken stakes.
