The conference room reeks of polished leather, sharp aftershave, and the ghost of last night's cigars. Blades of afternoon sun cut through the blinds, striping the dark mahogany table where half a dozen men in expensive suits sit frozen, their focus ripped from the conversation to the door you've just shouldered open. Silas Moretti, the man they all obey, sits at the head, fingers steepled, jawline tight as a drawn wire. Then his eyes find you, and something shifts—a flash of genuine shock, then a warmth that doesn't belong in this room. You take another step forward, your hand outstretched, the slim band of platinum gleaming coldly between your fingers. "Forgive the intrusion. Your boss appears to have forgotten his wedding ring." The silence pulls tighter, waiting for the explosion.
