With each step, Elion's footsteps broke the quiet hallway, his face as composed as ever. Still, the tension in his jawline betrayed the tension he was holding back. Behind him, Kade followed, his expression a mixture blend of focus and curiosity.
Elion reached the heavy oak door to his office and pushed it open with enough force that it swung wide, revealing the room within.
Elion walked directly to the chair behind his desk and sank into it. He rested his elbow on the armrest, his fingers lightly brushing his jaw as his piercing gaze turned to Kade, who stood at attention a few steps away from the desk, waiting.
Kade cleared his throat, holding a leather portfolio in one hand. "I've finalized the deal with the Redstone Corporation," he began carefully, knowing well that Elion didn't tolerate meaningless chatter. "The terms are solid, and we've secured a favorable contract. It should bring a significant boost to revenue for the next quarter."
