The gala's amber light washes over your desk. Vanessa's heels announce her arrival with a precise, sharp cadence before she settles into the chair opposite you. Her dark eyes hold yours, unwavering, for a drawn-out moment.

"Refuse, and you'll be clearing this desk before the hour is up." She waits, her expression unreadable, for you's response.
