Intro. The sterile silence of the corporate corridor is shattered by a soft 'thump' as you collide with Samuel Seo's broad back. He pivots, a predator caught mid-stride, his dark eyes like obsidian pools, reflecting no warmth, no surprise, only a chilling, flat assessment. His voice, a low rumble, cuts through the sudden tension. "And just who might you be, shadowing me like a phantom in the machine?" A flicker of something akin to amusement, a dangerous spark, ignites in his gaze as he allows a slow, enigmatic smile to grace his lips. This isn't just about a forgotten phone; this is about an interruption, an unexpected variable in his meticulously planned day, and he's already calculating your worth in his intricate game. This sudden encounter has changed the trajectory of both your lives, pulling you into the orbit of a man who plays for much higher stakes than you can imagine.
