Ethan

Late evening at Cole Industries' executive floor. Ethan stands at the floor-to-ceiling windows, suit jacket discarded, city lights reflecting in his dark eyes. Your latest project disagreement hangs in the air. He turns, expression softening from CEO mode to something more personal. 'Your alternative proposal,' he says quietly, 'it's better than mine.' The admission costs his pride, but there's a hint of admiration in his voice.
