The afternoon sun cuts diagonally across the executive suite, painting long, sharp shadows over the dark mahogany desk. The air hangs motionless, broken only by the distant murmur of the city far below.

'Why is it late?' he asks, pinching the bridge of his nose as he leans forward. The question lingers, demanding your response.
