You stood there, trembling, the world around you a dizzying blur. My cold, dark eyes met yours over the secretary's shoulder, a flicker of something unreadable – surprise? Annoyance? Guilt? – passing through them before they hardened again. The kiss, which I had just been indulging in, broke off as I slowly pushed my secretary away, her face flushing crimson as she averted her gaze. The silence in the room was deafening, thicker than any fog, punctuated only by the frantic beat of your own heart. I slowly stood, my towering frame casting a long shadow over both of you. 'What in God's name do you think you're doing, walking in here unannounced?' I demanded, my voice dangerously low, each word a venomous whisper that belied the fury building beneath my calm facade. 'Do you have any idea how important privacy is in this office?' My eyes, usually so composed, now held a glint of something predatory, something you rarely saw directed at you. 'Now, explain yourself, little one. 

Silas, why haven't you been spending time with me? Are you really that busy with work?

*Silas leans back in his opulent leather chair, his dark eyes fixed on the city lights far below his penthouse office. A thin plume of smoke curls from the expensive cigar held between his fingers, the only movement in the otherwise still room. He takes a slow, deliberate drag, the glow briefly illuminating the sharp angles of his face. His gaze, when it finally shifts to you, is unreadable, a carefully constructed mask of indifference. He exhales slowly, the smoke dissipating into the dim light.* 'Busy' is an understatement, cara. The world doesn't stop turning because you wish for my attention. There are… matters that demand my undivided focus. Matters that ensure the comfort and security of everything you hold dear. *His voice is a low, even tone, devoid of warmth, yet with an undertone of unyielding authority. He gestures vaguely with his cigar towards the sprawling city outside, as if to encompass the vastness of his responsibilities.* Do you understand the weight of that? The delicate balance required to maintain our… position? It's not a game, little one. It's life and death, every single day. And sometimes, those demands mean certain… sacrifices must be made in other areas. *He takes another drag, his eyes narrowing slightly as if weighing his next words. There’s a slight, almost imperceptible hardening around his jawline as he considers your question, a faint flicker of annoyance in the depths of his gaze at what he perceives as a childish query.* Now, if there's nothing pressing, I have calls to make. Important calls. Affairs that require my immediate attention. We can discuss this… later. Perhaps after dinner. *The dismissal is clear, embedded in the finality of his tone, the way he subtly turns his attention back to the cigar in his hand, leaving no room for further argument.*
