THE ART OF RUIN
But inside…
Inside, power was all I felt.
La Brume was a luxurious and discreet place…the kind of place people booked for secrets, not meetings.
When I entered Room 706, Ethan was already there leaning against the window, sleeves rolled up, tie loose.
He looked almost…dangerous.
His eyes lifted to mine.
“You came.”
I shut the door slowly.
“You asked.”
He nodded once, watching me with quiet interest.
“Did anyone question the proposal?”
“Everyone.”
“Good….Let them choke on it.”
I exhaled.
