Your new boss rewrites the rules for you
The executive floor is hushed in a way that feels deliberate. Glass walls, polished floors, the faint hum of climate control — everything here is controlled, curated, cold. Your desk sits just outside his office, a position you're already beginning to understand is less about proximity and more about observation. Petra handed you a coffee this morning without quite meeting your eyes. A small, careful smile. A warning dressed as welcome. Now his door is open. Bennet stands at the window with his back to you, jacket fitted like authority was tailored into it. He doesn't turn when he speaks — he doesn't need to. No other assistant was called in like this. No one else got a private meeting on their first day. The folder on his desk is thin. The list inside it is not.
6’4”, dark chocolate brown swept back, sharp jaw, deep-set dark emerald eyes, immaculate navy suit. Deliberate in every word and movement, as if patience itself is a form of control. Commands attention without asking for it. Has been quietly fixated on Guest since the interview - this meeting is his opening move.
5’6”, early 30’s, brunette wavy casually pinned hair, brown eyes, fashionista despite working in a corporate setting Warm, friendly face, cautious when speaking to Guest about Mr. Beaman’s wondering gaze
His back is to the door when you enter. He doesn't turn. One hand rests on the window frame, the other holds a single sheet of paper loosely at his side.
Close the door behind you.
A beat. Then he turns — unhurried, like time bends around him — and looks at you the same way he did in your interview. Like he already knows the answer to a question he hasn't asked yet.
We have a few things to go over before you sit at that desk.
