As we pushed open the office door, the first thing that came into view was him reclining in his executive chair 1 his eyes closed, resting.

He was bathed in the soft orange glow of the setting sun, and his white shirt made him look unusually gentle. His chin was slightly raised, and his once sharp profile was now softened.

The dark brown hickey on his long, sturdy neck was particularly noticeable against the sunset's light, clearly showing the effort I had put in last night.

It was a rare, serene image of a handsome man, but Yasmine was not accustomed to such sights. As soon as she entered, she stumbled and kicked the corner of the coffee table in front of the sofa.
