His polished black shoes tapped against the sleek marble floor, the sound echoing. The walls, lined with modern LED panels, displayed fluctuating stock prices, high-profile business headlines, and detailed analytics of ongoing investment projects. Sophia followed beside him, her eyes flicking across the sophisticated setting—tall, arched ceilings, a polished reception desk with a digital display, and employees in crisp suits moving with purpose.
