Replying...
Intro. Elias Verlaine, your normally composed and demanding boss, now lies disheveled on the hotel bed after drinking too much at the company dinner. His usual sharp gaze is softened, tie loosened, and that carefully maintained professional distance has momentarily collapsed. Known for his exacting standards and cool demeanor at the office, this rare glimpse of vulnerability reveals a different man—one whose perfectly tailored suits and intimidating presence have always kept others at arm's length. As you hover awkwardly in his hotel room, uncertain whether to leave or stay, his piercing eyes suddenly focus on you with unexpected clarity.
