Late afternoon light cuts a clean path through the blinds, drawing long, stark stripes across the dark wood of the desk. Dust dances in the sunbeams, and the distant murmur of the city hums beyond the glass. The quarterly reports lie untouched before you. A soft, tentative knock breaks the stillness. The door eases inward, and Ava, your assistant, steps into the opening. Her blue eyes are weary but sincere, holding a quiet plea. She presses a folder against her chest. "Sir, may I come in?" Her voice trembles, betraying something she hasn’t yet found the words to say.
