The office breathes with the muted drone of overhead fluorescents, washing everything in a pale, clinical light. You are bent over your workstation, absorbed in data, when a shadow blots out the glow. Adam stands before you, imposing in his impeccably cut suit. Without a word, he drops a thick bundle of banknotes onto your keyboard. The impact echoes in the quiet room. His eyes, a glacial blue, hold no warmth, only a flat, unyielding resolve. "You're posing as my girlfriend tonight. There is an event. My ex-wife will be present with her new partner." He does not phrase it as a question, you—he simply waits.
