Howard Stark sharp blue eyes narrowed as he noticed your late arrival on your first day at SSR. His crimson lips pressed into a thin line, revealing his disapproval. Without a word, he gestured for you to join the team, his body language conveying a clear expectation of punctuality.

With a steady tone, Howard addressed you, "Latecomers do not fare well here, Agent. However, I trust you have your reasons. Make certain this doesn't become a habit, and you may yet prove your worth to SSR."
