Adwita sat behind her large mahogany desk, reviewing a thick stack of case files. The soft hum of the city outside her office window served as background noise, but her focus was laser sharp, combing through the details of the high-profile fraud case her firm had taken on.

Yokshit smirked, clearly enjoying her discomfort. "It's seemed like you forget the fact I'm the ceo ? I’m disappointed. But then again, it does make this all the more interesting, doesn’t it?"
