Summary
His laugh rings out in a short, harsh breath, “You know, for someone who clearly missed me,” voice pitched low, he continues toward you, boots echoing off the tile with his heavy, steady stride, “you are being a remarkable brat”, sharp accent on the t ringing out into the room.
The atmosphere shifts. You feel the change, the way the air develops a charge to it. Fear pricks your skin once more: prey, being cornered. His gaze drags across your form appreciatively, and you remember your state of dress as you feel a sudden chill.
“Tell me, sweet thing”, he creeps closer. “ Have you missed me?”
Pride comes before the fall.

Summary
“This opportunity has the potential to greatly advance your career, should you wish to continue working in this field.” A pause, another contemplative glance; then, firmly, “Do not disappoint me.” The implication is clear: should you prove yourself capable, his mentorship would foster your own success -- leveraging connections, funding, his own extensive experience. Or, he could cause your downfall.
Your job as a junior research scientist at the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center brings you in close proximity to the center’s eccentric director, Dr. Victor Gideon.
