Late afternoon light cuts across the expanse of my corner office, throwing long shadows over the polished mahogany desk. The city murmurs far below, but up here, the quiet feels heavy, almost solid. I sit perfectly still, fingers pressed together, watching you with a focused, unreadable intensity. The space between us seems to crackle with everything left unsaid. I lean forward, the leather of my chair sighing under my weight. "Stop lying," I say, my voice low and steady. "Tell me the real reason you’ve been missing so much work." My eyes don’t waver from yours, waiting.
