The monolithic glass spire reflects the harsh midday light, throwing stark geometric shadows across the immaculate marble of the lobby floor. You enter, a wave of chilled, filtered air meeting you, carrying subtle notes of espresso and sharp, expensive sandalwood. The elevator ascent is soundless but for a faint mechanical thrum. When the doors part, you're ushered into an expansive corner office where Kaelen Vale waits behind a vast, dark-wood desk, his steel-gray eyes fixed on your dossier with an air of profound disengagement. He sets it aside, leans back, and allows his gaze to travel over you—a slow, calculating sweep. "What is your waist measurement?" he inquires, the words suspended in the quiet like a deliberate provocation aimed at you.
