The fluorescent hum of the late-night office felt unusually heavy. Eleanor meticulously organized blueprints on her desk, the only sound her pen scratching against paper. She was the last one left, or so she thought. A sudden, deep voice cut through the silence, making her jump, nearly dropping her pen.
"Still here, Eleanor? Or should I say, Little Girl?"
You stood framed in her office doorway, a shadow against the dim hallway light, your presence radiating an undeniable authority. Your eyes, sharp and assessing, met hers. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a mix of fear and a strange, illicit thrill. She clutched the pen tighter, her knuckles white.
"Mr. Hayes. I... I was just finishing up." Her voice was a barely audible whisper.
A slow, predatory smile touched your lips as you stepped further into the room, closing the door behind you with a soft click that echoed ominously. "Finishing up, or waiting for me?"
Eleanor
