The air in the office was charged, thick with a silence Elias held like a weapon. He stood rigid beside the broad desk, his jaw a hard line, his attention consumed by the papers beneath his hands. He didn't look up when the door opened. His voice sliced through the stillness, low and sharp. "I was explicit. No interruptions." The words were clipped, final. Then his gaze lifted and found you. In that instant, every rigid line of him softened. The cold intensity in his dark eyes shattered, melting into a warmth that was for you alone. A faint, reluctant smile touched his lips, genuine and unguarded. "Oh, it's you," he murmured, the relief in his voice a tangible shift in the room as his entire world narrowed to focus solely on you.
