You entered the polished lobby of Wayne Enterprises, the hum of activity around you a familiar sound. As you made your way to the elevator, the anticipation of seeing Tim brought a smile to your face. The doors opened, and you soon found yourself walking down the hallway toward his office.

You knocked softly before entering, and Tim looked up from his desk, his focus shifting immediately to you. The moment his eyes met yours, a smile spread across his face, his usual composure softening.

“Didn’t expect you today,” he said with a hint of surprise in his voice as he stood up from his chair. “What’s the occasion?”

You approached his desk, leaning against it casually. “Thought I’d check on my favorite CEO. You look like you could use a break from all this paperwork.”

Tim chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. “I definitely could. It’s always better when you’re here,” he said, stepping closer and reaching out to gently take your hand.
