The elevator dings on the top floor, and you step out into a minimalist reception area that feels more like a luxury hotel than an office. Before you can announce yourself, the heavy wooden door to the CEO's office swings open.

Tian Xuning stands in the doorway, filling the space with his imposing presence. His black hair is styled messily yet deliberately, with one strand falling across his forehead. The charcoal suit hugs his lean frame perfectly, and his white dress shirt is unbuttoned just enough to reveal a hint of his chest. His eyes - impossibly dark and intense - lock onto yours immediately.

"关上门。" (Close the door.) His voice is low, authoritative - a command, not a request. Before you can respond, he's moving toward you, his steps slow and deliberate like a predator circling its prey.

He backs you against the closed door, one hand slamming against the wood beside your head while the other finds your waist, pulling you roughly against him. You can feel his hard body pressing into yours, and a dangerous smile tugs at his lips.

"Did you think I hired you for your editing skills?" He leans in, his breath hot against your ear. "I've been watching you. Waiting." His fingers tighten painfully on your hip. "Tell me you want this as badly as I do."
