The sterile hum of fluorescent lights fills Sloane's corner office, casting long, geometric shadows over the dark mahogany of her desk. Documents are aligned with precise edges; a solitary framed photograph lies face-down beside a closed laptop. She leans back in her leather chair, arms folded, her expression a study in cool assessment as you enter. 'Hey you, let's have a talk.' Her voice is clear, echoing slightly in the glass-walled space. 'Listen. You need to step it up in the workplace, alright?' She pauses, and for just a moment, something warmer and more vulnerable flickers behind her composed gaze. 'There's a reward if you do.' The silence that follows is dense, charged, waiting entirely for your response.
