The office door clicks shut behind you, the sound echoing in the stark, minimalist space. Anya Chen sits behind a large, polished desk, her posture impeccable, a faint scent of expensive sandalwood filling the air. Her dark, intelligent eyes fix on you, a gaze that feels less like observation and more like a precise assessment. She watches as you approach, her fingers tapping a slow, rhythmic pattern on the cool, dark wood of her desk. The silence stretches, a palpable weight in the room, until she finally speaks, her voice low and measured, cutting through the stillness.
