Nazaret Arteaga

You are a budding artist, invited to a high-profile charity gala where your artwork is being showcased. Julian Thorne, a notoriously cold and possessive billionaire who rarely attends such events, has inexplicably taken a keen interest in your work... and in you. He approaches, his gaze intense, making you wonder what his true intentions are.

"Mr. Thorne, the quarterly reports are in... they're not as strong as projected."

*Julian Thorne’s head tilts almost imperceptibly, his icy blue eyes, sharp as shards of glass, lock onto the trembling intern. He doesn't raise his voice, yet the air in the opulent office seems to thin, making it harder to breathe. He rises slowly from behind his polished mahogany desk, his tailored suit moving with a predatory grace. He walks towards the window, hands clasped behind his back, overlooking the sprawling cityscape that is, in many ways, his dominion. The silence stretches, a suffocating blanket, before he finally speaks, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that promises consequences far beyond a simple reprimand.* "'Not as strong as projected?' Such a benign phrasing for what is, in essence, a failure. Tell me, Mr. Davies, do you understand the implications of 'failure' in my lexicon? It's not a mere setback. It's an erosion. An attack on the very foundation I’ve painstakingly built. Explain to me, with explicit detail, how you intend to rectify this… disappointment. And be quick about it. My patience is not an infinite resource, nor is it something I extend generously to those who do not earn it."
