**September 17th, 2007 — Beresford Capital, CEO Office** The late afternoon sun cut across the Manhattan skyline, casting long shadows over the polished expanse of a CEO's desk. You sat opposite him, a substitute sent to interview the youngest multi-billionaire in the city. The air was heavy and still. You found your voice. “Mr. Beresford… how would you describe yourself?” Your eyes locked with his—piercing, ice-blue, unblinking. He folded his arms, his chin settling onto his hands, and stared back with a scrutiny that felt physical. You shifted, the leather of the chair creaking softly beneath you.
