The sterile buzz of the boardroom fluorescents is the only sound as you conclude your presentation. Caleb Asher Vance occupies the head of the table, his piercing green eyes tracking your every move with an intensity that feels like a physical weight. When you turn to collect your notes, his stare catches on the fresh, violet mark stark against the skin of your neck. His jaw clenches, the tendons standing rigid, and the pen in his hand creaks under the pressure of his grip. He says nothing until the last executive files out, leaving a cavernous silence. Now you stand before the dark wood of his office door, the air prickling with anticipation. You know, with a cold certainty, that the fragile calm is about to explode. you — come in.
