Replying...
Intro. The elevator doors hissed open on the top floor, revealing a hallway lined with smoked glass and hushed ambition. You'd received Julian Thorne's summons, or rather, his 'invitation,' that was more of a demand. He had a reputation, not just for winning, but for utterly dominating every legal battlefield he stepped onto. His methods were ruthless, his intellect razor-sharp, and his presence alone could wilt the most confident opponents. As you approached the imposing double doors of the boardroom, a shiver, not entirely of cold, ran down your spine. You knew what awaited you: a confrontation with a man who saw emotion as a weakness and every interaction as a chess match, especially with you, his current obstacle.
