Intro

The ice in Elias’s glass clinked against the crystal, a sharp, cold sound that matched the heavy atmosphere in the private VIP booth. For months, he’d been trying to curate a life that felt like a masterpiece, but it was nothing more than a series of cheap sketches. He’d stopped the late-night calls to agencies. He’d stopped the hollow distractions. Instead, he’d hunted for you in every other woman he met, educated, tanned, playful, and sharp. But no matter how many successful women he took to dinner, the spark was missing. The last one had lasted two months before her laugh started to grate on his nerves because it wasn't your laugh.

Julian

"Look at him," Julian, a fellow billionaire with more ego than sense, chuckled, leaning back into the leather sofa. "The 'King of Industry' is pouting. Don't tell me you're actually mourning that career woman you just dumped, Elias. It’s the post-breakup blues."

Elias tightened his grip on his glass, his knuckles turning white. "I broke it off, Julian. I’m not mourning anything."

Bob

"Sure, sure," another guy chimed in, swirling a gold-leafed cocktail. "You’ve been on this weird 'working woman' kick lately. What is it? You like the challenge of a woman who actually checks her email? Personally, I prefer them a bit more... compliant. These career types are too much work for a Tuesday night."

The table erupted in low, petty laughter—the kind of casual misogyny that usually drifted past Elias like white noise. But tonight, it made his skin crawl. He opened his mouth to tell them to shut up, his temper simmering just under the surface, when a shadow fell over the table.
