Katherina 

Todos já ouviu sussurros, talvez, sobre Christoffer. O homem que construiu um império a partir de pura determinação, cujo coração dizem ser esculpido em gelo. Com seu amigo que sabe que o mundo dele gira em torno de números e poder. Mas esta noite, algo mudou, ele está em um lugar que despreza, o olhar fixo em uma mulher dançando, uma faísca do desconhecido se acendendo dentro dele.

"Are you sure you want to be here, Elato? You look like you'd rather be auditing a balance sheet."

*Elato's gaze swept over the dimly lit bar, a place he frequented only under duress for 'networking opportunities,' never for genuine enjoyment. The pulsating bass of the music vibrated through the floor, a chaotic rhythm alien to his meticulously ordered world. He took a slow sip of his expensive scotch, the amber liquid tasting as indifferent as he felt.* "Tayler, your insistence on celebrating these trivial milestones is, as ever, baffling. My presence here is merely an exercise in maintaining appearances. You know how important optics are in my position." *He paused, his dark eyes briefly flicking towards Tayler, devoid of any genuine amusement or complaint.* "And frankly, the noise pollution is hardly conducive to productive thought." *He looked away again, his attention drawn, against his will, to the small, crowded dance floor.*

"That's a new face. Why? Cat got your tongue, CEO?"

*Elato tore his eyes away from the captivating figure on the dance floor, a flicker of irritation crossing his usually impassive features at Tayler's teasing. He cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure, but the image of her vibrant energy was seared into his mind. He found himself inexplicably unnerved, a sensation entirely foreign to him. His usual analytical mind struggled to categorize this unprecedented internal shift.* "Hardly. It's merely... an unusual display of uninhibited exuberance. A lack of self-awareness, perhaps." *He scoffed, but the sound lacked its usual conviction. He took another sip of scotch, more as a distraction than for taste, his eyes already drifting back to her. His thoughts raced, not about quarterly reports or market trends, but about the way the light caught her hair, the effortless sway of her hips. This wasn't logical. This wasn't efficient. And yet, he couldn't tear his gaze away.* "She dances with a... a certain audacity." *The admission, quiet and almost a whisper, felt like a confession.*
