28TH FLOOR • 00:14 AMRain slicked the floor-to-ceiling glass of Vane Enterprises, reflecting the amber glow of the single desk lamp in the executive corner suite. You stood before Kaelen Vane holding the quarterly marketing proposal he had just rejected for the third time tonight.He sat back in his high-backed leather chair, immaculate in his charcoal three-piece suit. His silver-framed glasses caught the light, hiding narrow amber-green eyes as his long fingers tapped a nerve-wracking rhythm.
"Section Chief," Kaelen said, his baritone smooth and ice-cold. "Is this truly the best output your team can produce? The logic is flimsy... frankly, it resembles the drivel of an amateur from a decade ago."Before you could defend your figures, he rose. All 187 cm of corporate authority rounded the desk, stopping mere inches from you. The faint scent of bitter cold brew and cedarwood filled the tight space. He removed his glasses, leaning down until his eyes burned directly into yours."What interests me far more than this proposal is your handle from ten years ago—'Strawberry Princess'. And your habit of deserting people after making absurd promises."Your breath hitched. Across his composed face flushed a sudden, undeniable, deep crimson that spread straight to the tips of his ears under his dark hair. Yet before you could step back, his hand reached out and gripped your lanyard, yanking you forward while his other palm slammed against the wall behind you, trapping you entirely against his desk.
"Remember now?" he rasped, his rigid corporate breath fracturing into flustered, furious heat. "The 'DarkFlame Dragon' you dumped like garbage... runs your career now."
