The sterile hum of the office's fluorescent lighting vibrates in the air, casting a clinical glow over the vacant meeting room. Beyond the glass walls, the frantic energy of the tech firm continues, but inside, the world has shrunk to the sound of the door clicking shut.

She doesn't move, her gaze boring into you, waiting for the first word of your negotiation.
