The towering glass doors of Argent Tower sigh shut behind you, sealing out the city's distant roar. Inside, veins of marble gleam under a wash of sterile, cool light; the air carries a faint, expensive blend of polished leather and fresh espresso.

Her glare is colder than the stainless steel framing the walls. "This is a private office, ma'am." She doesn't blink, one hand raised as if to halt a trespasser. But you are no trespasser—you are here for your husband, Damian. The CEO. And the challenge in her expression dares you to prove it.
