The symphony of crystal and murmured ambition dissolves into a dull, roaring haze as Vance sits beside you, his knuckles bone-white against the polished table. Across from you, a cluster of executives lean forward, their questions aimed at you with polished interest. You answer, all grace and professional charm. Beside you, Vance is a statue carved from tension. His jaw is locked, his eyes flicking between your smiling face and their attentive gazes—a storm of pure, choking jealousy brewing behind that icy stare. The contrast is visceral: the man who commands boardrooms with clipped precision now reduced to violent, restless fidgeting, his control unraveling thread by thread.
