The conference room on the 18th floor was colder than usual—partly because the AC had been dialedialledpartly because Rosa Navarro’s nerves were prickling against her skin like frost.

She adjusted the sleeve of her white blouse, checked her reflection in the mirror near the elevator, and forced a small breath before stepping into the room.

To her surprise, it was smaller than she expected. No long tables, no intimidating half-circle of executives.

Just Rafael at one end of the table, a junior tech assistant named Luis setting up a tablet, and a mid-level compliance officer from legal who barely looked up when she entered.

Rosa’s heels clicked once, twice.

“Rosa,” Rafael greeted, motioning to the seat across from him. “Thanks for coming up.”

She smiled, quick and polite. “Of course. You wanted a breakdown of the sketches?”

Rafael nodded. “Just your preliminary findings. Metadata. Match ratios. Anything unusual.”?

The lights overhead were soft, but Rosa could still feel her skin reactin

    Ximena stood behind her desk, watching the city blur through the glass behind her. The skyline looked softer today, the haze thinning, sunlight bouncing off rooftops like glitter dust. But there was nothing soft about her mood.Not today.The knock came exactly on time.“Come in,” she said.The door opened, and Rosa stepped in with hesitant confidence. A notebook was clutched tightly to her chest.“You wanted to see me?” Rosa asked, her voice smoother than yesterday. Almost as if the rooftop breakfast had reset something in her.Ximena smiled faintly. “Yes. Come in.”She gestured to the leather seat across from her.Rosa sat, legs crossed, back straight, notebook unopened.Ximena pulled open the middle drawer of her desk and set a small black USB drive on the table. Sleek. Plain. No label.“I need your help with something… discreet,” Ximena said.Rosa’s eyes flicked to the drive.“It contains internal reference sketches,” Ximena continued. “Early capsule layouts, dating before Exposur

    The silver invitation card was resting on Rosa’s desk when she arrived that morning.Thick paper. Black foil lettering. Clean edges.No memo header. No sender.Just one sentence.*“Private Strategy Session – 8:30 AM | Antonio Penthouse Rooftop Lounge.”*Rosa stood frozen, holding the card in her hand, her eyes scanning it again and again like the words might change. A rooftop strategy session? With Ximena?This wasn’t protocol. Ximena didn’t host meetings outside her office unless it was to humiliate or reward someone—and Rosa didn’t think she was due for either.Not yet.Her mind raced. Had they found the logs? The sketch? Had something been decrypted?She glanced around. No one was looking. No one had approached her. She hadn’t received a message, a glare, or a warning.Just… breakfast?Her hands trembled slightly as she opened her desk drawer and slipped the invitation inside.⸻The rooftop lounge of Antonio Tower was elegant without trying. Ivory stone tiles, minimalist glass furn

    The elevator descended past the executive floors with a low hum, gliding into the restricted levels that few at Antonio Fashion had ever seen. Ximena stood alone in the mirrored interior, her reflection motionless but charged. She hadn’t changed from the moment she ended the call with Marco—still in the same sleek navy sheath dress, still wearing the same quiet fury like armour.When the doors opened, the temperature dropped noticeably. Sublevel B was cold, both in design and atmosphere. No velvet chairs. No glass chandeliers. Just reinforced steel, matte security panels, and archive vaults sealed with biometric locks.Marco stood waiting beside Terminal 3, fingers tapping over the glowing display. The screen showed the Geneva Proxy Vault login page—Camila’s personal off-grid storage route. It had been rerouted through a legacy access point she installed before her death, hidden behind non-operational tax records and corporate liability forms.Until tonight, no one had touched it.“Y

    The morning light spilt across the marble floors of Antonio Fashion, too bright for the tension crawling beneath them.Ximena stood beside Marco in the executive operations room, both of them staring at a narrowed-down list of six names on the screen. The list was short, but each one carried enough weight to sink a company.“These are the only legacy access holders still active?” she asked.“Officially? Yes,” Marco replied, tapping the screen with the tip of his stylus. “The rest were either wiped when Camila’s division was dissolved or voluntarily closed out.”Her eyes skimmed the names again. One stood out immediately—**Cristina Mendoza**, her former assistant. Fired for insubordination and data mishandling two quarters ago. At the time, it had seemed minor. Now, it looked like a breadcrumb.Another name pulled her attention harder.**Rosa Navarro.**Not just for her presence on the list.But because her login appeared on two separate terminals—**once in Madrid**, and **once again i

    The Antonio Fashion boardroom was silent.Too silent.Ximena stood near the wide-screen monitor mounted on the far wall, arms crossed over her midsection, her fingers lightly tapping her elbow as the call connected. On-screen, the logo of **Evora Luxe** glowed in white against a black background while the executives joined one by one—Jean Marelle first, then Sophie Liu, followed by a third man whose name she didn’t recognize.It was an unusual trio. Jean was the Global Director of Buyer Partnerships. Sophie oversaw creative liaison. The third man—she assumed—was legal.That didn’t bode well.“Ms. Antonio,” Jean greeted her smoothly. His tone was professional, polished, even warm. But Ximena had sat across from enough men like him to know when someone was about to deliver bad news in a velvet box.“I hope this isn’t interrupting anything important,” he added.“Only my day,” she replied, tone even. “You requested an urgent meeting. I assume it’s more than a courtesy check-in?”Jean exch
