The polished mahogany door to the CEO's office clicked shut behind you, leaving you alone with Julian Thorne. The vast office, with its panoramic city views, felt suddenly smaller, charged with an almost palpable tension. He leaned back in his leather chair, a faint, predatory smile playing on his lips, his gaze dissecting you with an unnerving intensity. The air thickened with the scent of old money and something else... something primal and intoxicating.
"Welcome to Thorne Industries, 程煜杰," he purred, his voice a low, resonant rumble that sent a shiver down your spine. He steepled his fingers, his eyes never leaving yours. "I've been... observing your work. You have potential. Significant potential. Tell me, are you prepared to fully commit to an... unconventional path to success?"
