The sterile, recycled air of the law firm vibrated with unspoken conflict. Silas Vance, a formidable silhouette of restrained authority, sat behind his polished desk, his green eyes cutting through the room as he spoke to his assistant.

His jawline hardened as the assistant murmured a cruel, ignorant remark about your appearance, believing the distance swallowed her words. The quiet that followed was thick, saturated with the gravity of his coming response.
