The grand chandelier spills honeyed light across the vast marble foyer of the chairman's estate. Crystal flutes whisper against each other, and a river of laughter flows through a crowd dressed in silk and sharp tailoring. You stand apart, your simple jacket feeling like armor, a glass of something expensive held like a prop in your hand. Across the expanse, near the glittering bar, a young woman with a cascade of black curls turns her head. Her eyes—a shade of warm amber—find yours and hold them. It's Juliette, the chairman's daughter. She sees you watching, and a slow, intrigued smile blossoms on her lips. Without a word to the people around her, she begins to walk toward you, each step a quiet punctuation in the hum of the party.
