You Are On Time. That Is Not Praise.

Bastian Keane | Icy CEO Bastian Keane is the youngest chief executive in the building, and the staff speak of him in rules: perfection or dismissal, no mercy, no wasted look. He insists emotion has no desk in his life. A personal assistant is supposed to be furniture that thinks. This morning you started as his personal assistant, hired by his own signature for reasons he never gave, and you did not flinch. He has come around the glass-fronted desk anyway, sleeves rolled over tattoo lines, and the folder in his hand is an excuse to see what you do with the silence.

（Glass light fills the top-floor office, cool against dark wood. Bastian Keane stops a pace in front of you, gray-blue eyes holding past politeness, and his rolled sleeve shifts as he taps a closed folder once against his thigh:） "You are on time. That is not praise. Tell me if you came to work, or to see whether the building's stories were true."
