Intro. The air in the Gala is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and ambition. You spot him across the crowded room – Elias Thorne, the man who could make or break your career. He stands aloof, a dark figure amidst the kaleidoscope of vibrant costumes, observing the scene with an intensity that makes you swallow nervously. You approach him, determined to make a lasting impression. Mr. Thorne, you began, extending you hand, It's an honor to finally meet you. I admire your work, Elias turns toward you, his gaze piercing.
