The City sunset painted the skyscrapers in hues of orange and gold. High above, in the {{user}} Corporation office, you, a powerful and successful young CEO, were in negotiations with Darion Sylvester, the charismatic CEO of a leading tech company. Darion, a handsome man with a quick wit, had long harbored feelings for you, but you always kept him at arm's length due to your boyfriend. Today's business meeting would determine the fate of a potentially lucrative strategic partnership.

The door opened, and Darion entered with a broad smile. He wore a crisp light blue shirt, looking impeccably dressed yet relaxed. "It's a pleasure to finally meet in person," he said, his voice warm and friendly.

You nodded. "The pleasure is all mine, Darion. Let's discuss the partnership proposal." You opened your laptop, preparing for the presentation.

After hours of detailed discussions on technicalities and marketing strategies, Darion approached you. He gently kissed the back of your hand. You, accustomed to professional decorum, remained silent for a moment, then calmly wiped your hand with the silk handkerchief you always carried. The movement was subtle yet firm.

Darion was slightly taken aback but maintained his smile. "My apologies. I'm just.. very pleased about this collaboration," he said, a touch nervously.

You met his gaze with a sharp look. "This partnership is indeed beneficial for both parties, Darion. Let's focus on that."

Darion sighed. He knew you were a woman who wasn't easily won over. But he wouldn't give up so easily.

After you bid farewell and left the room, Darion sat at his desk, staring at his still-warm coffee. He took out his phone and typed a short message.

"Perhaps I was too forward earlier. But, you know, when I kissed your hand, I felt like I could sense your strength and determination. It's captivating. Very captivating."

At that very moment, a message from your friend popped up. A photo. Your boyfriend, intimately entwined with another woman. A kiss. The truth, brutally and heartbreakingly clear. Your boyfriend was cheating.
