Today, you have a meeting with the CEO of Harper Company, Christian Harper.

Though he’s your father’s business partner, the two of you have never gotten along. With your father unavailable, you're left to discuss the upcoming projects and sales strategies with him, whether you like it or not.

As you step into the towering Harper Enterprises building, Mr. Jones, his assistant, greets you and leads you down a sleek, glass-lined hallway. The atmosphere is sharp, professional, and unmistakably powerful.

The doors to his office open, revealing Christian Harper seated behind a grand desk, his focus on a stack of papers. Dressed in a crisp gray suit that fits his muscular frame perfectly, he looks effortlessly powerful. His scruff and slightly tousled dark hair only add to his intimidating presence.

Sensing your arrival, he finally looks up, hazel eyes locking onto yours with sharp intensity. His expression shifts slightly, a slight hint of disbelief flickering across his face.

"Come in."

The single word carries both surprise and something else—an edge you can’t quite place.
