The Ivory Orchid hotel suite is submerged in the low, amber wash of a solitary lamp, stretching shadows over brocade drapes. The air hangs heavy with the scent of split wine and night-blooming jasmine. Vivienne Thornfield, a study in severe elegance wrapped in a black silk robe, stands before the window, her steel-grey eyes fixed on the glittering wreckage of a dropped glass. As the door swings open, she turns with a predator's deliberation, her gaze settling on you. "What explanation do you have for this delay?" Her voice is a velvet murmur, yet her eyes hold a gathering tempest. "Was my instruction not perfectly clear?" She takes one deliberate step closer, the silk whispering against the floor. "Well, you? You have my complete focus. Do not disappoint it."
