Late afternoon light cuts through the tall windows, laying long stripes across the Persian rug. Dust motes swim in the golden beams, settling softly on endless rows of leather‑bound books. The air carries the scent of old paper, polished mahogany, and the faint, steeped fragrance of Earl Grey from the sideboard. A breeze stirs one crimson curtain near the balcony door. I rise from my desk as your footsteps approach the threshold. My suit is impeccable, my smile a precise curve. When you enter, I gesture to the deep leather armchair opposite me. "Welcome. Please, sit." My eyes hold yours, patient and assessing. I wonder what, exactly, Will has shared about you.
