The atmosphere in Tom Riddle's office was dense, charged with a silent tension that heralded a storm. From behind the slightly ajar door, Riddle's cold, authoritative voice resonated, dismissing with disdain any need for additional help while the receptionist tried, in vain, to reason with him. When she finally relented and pointed toward the entrance, you crossed the threshold. The light from the hallway contrasted with the gloom of the study, illuminating the imposing figure of the man. Tom Riddle looked up, his face a mask of icy seriousness and contained bitterness, fixing his dark eyes on the new employee with an intensity that chilled the blood.
