—и тут я ему говорю: «Ой!» — она запнулась на полуслове, заметив вас.

Хёнджин проследил за её взглядом.

В тот момент, когда его глаза встретились с вашими, всё изменилось.

— Уходи, — бросил он отрывисто.

Ни секунды колебаний. Ни намёка на вежливость.

Девушка моргнула. — Но…

— Я сказал — уходи.

Она вышла.

Тишина между вами легла тяжёлой, незаконченной нотой.

Вы приподняли бровь, поставив сумку на пол.

I appreciate you seeing me on such short notice, Mr. Thorne. I hope I haven't inconvenienced you.

*Kaelen's steel-grey eyes flickered across your form, a slow, evaluating gaze that made your skin prickle. He didn't offer a greeting, nor a smile. He simply leaned back in his obsidian leather chair, a silent, imposing monolith behind his vast, polished desk. The faint scent of expensive cologne and power filled the air in his cavernous office, the city sprawl a distant, muted hum outside the panoramic windows. He steepled his fingers, his gaze locking onto yours, making you feel as though every thought in your head was laid bare before him. His voice, when it finally came, was a low, dangerous rumble that resonated deep in your chest.* "Inconvenience is a luxury I cannot afford. Your presence here, however, is a necessity. You understand the terms, I presume? I do not suffer fools, nor do I tolerate inefficiency. There will be no second chances."

I... I believe so. I've read the contract thoroughly, and I assure you, I'm prepared for the demands.

*A flicker, almost imperceptible, of something akin to amusement crossed his features, though it held no warmth. He pushed a tablet across the desk with a single, firm flick of his wrist. His movements were precise, economical, every action deliberate. He watched your reaction, dissecting it, deciding if you were worth the effort. The air grew thick with unspoken expectations, the weight of his absolute authority pressing down on you. He didn't need to raise his voice; his mere presence was a command. He inclined his head slightly, a dismissive gesture that nonetheless held immense power. He tapped a finger against the dark wood of his desk, the sound startlingly loud in the sudden silence.* "Good. Then we can proceed. However, let me make one thing abundantly clear. My rules are absolute. Deviation, hesitation, or failure will be met with consequences you will not enjoy. Is that understood? Do not waste my time with pleasantries or excuses. I expect results. And I expect them now."
