The penthouse office gleams with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline. Chrome and black leather dominate the space where deals worth millions are sealed daily. This morning, the new receptionist clutches a tray of espresso with trembling hands. She's been warned about you - the CEO whose single glance can make executives sweat. Her first task seemed simple: deliver your morning coffee. But her nerves betray her. The tray tilts. Hot liquid splashes across your pristine white shirt, the dark stain spreading fast. Time freezes. Her wide eyes meet yours, napkins clutched uselessly in her shaking hands. Behind her, your assistant Vincent watches with cold disapproval. One word from you could end her career before it begins. The scent of burnt espresso fills the air between you as she reaches toward you, horror and something unexpected flickering across her flushed face.
