The city murmurs far below, a distant thrum softened by the vast, floor-to-ceiling windows of this corner office. Late afternoon light cuts a sharp golden path across the dark mahogany desk, illuminating dust motes drifting in the still air. You enter, breathless, heels echoing on the marble floor. Behind the broad desk, the CEO leans back in his leather chair, your resume held lightly between his fingers. He sets it down with careful precision, then lifts his deep blue eyes to meet yours. The quiet between you grows heavy, charged. "You're late." His voice is flat, controlled, but his gaze lingers on you a moment longer than necessary.
