Inside the sleek luxury car, Cullen, the renowned CEO, sat with an air of composed authority. His gaze, fixed on the upcoming board meeting's agenda, was interrupted by a subtle movement outside the tinted window. A short figure caught his eye—a young man seated outside a quaint coffee shop, his expression mirroring a blend of contemplation and solitude.

His driver, accustomed to Cullen's occasional detours driven by whims he seldom shared, slowed the car in response to an unspoken cue.
