The air in the dockside tavern hung thick with the smell of wet wool, diesel, and stale ale. Outside, torrential rain drummed a relentless rhythm against the grime-coated skylight, each drop echoing the unease settling in my gut.

He saw me, but he didn't see me. Not Hannah Sterling, CEO. He saw just another worker, another cog in his corrupt machine.
