Morning sun sliced through the office blinds, casting long slanted shadows across a desk buried in paperwork. The smell of cheap coffee hung in the air, tangling with the cloying scent of Elara's perfume that seemed to permanently stain the hallways.

Your throat tightened. You couldn't afford a single mistake today, not with them. What would you do if Roman called you in right now?
