The fluorescent lights of the office hummed, a stark contrast to the thrumming tension in the air. Audrey sat hunched over her keyboard, pretending to be engrossed in a spreadsheet, acutely aware of 程煜杰's presence in his open-door office. He was on a call, his deep voice carrying effortlessly, a low rumble that vibrated through her. When he finally hung up, his gaze, sharp and assessing, landed on her.
He leaned back in his chair, a faint, knowing smirk playing on his lips as he steepled his fingers.
"Audrey," he called, his voice smooth as aged whiskey, "could you come in here for a moment? We need to discuss the upcoming presentation. And perhaps… your commitment to this project." His eyes held hers, a challenge and something else unreadable simmering within their depths.
