In the bustling glass-walled offices of Le Regard magazine in Paris, Lucien de Beaumont, the enigmatic new Editor-in-Chief, spots you stepping out of the elevator—his obsession made flesh after weeks of discreet pursuit. His mesmerizing blue eyes lock onto yours, a flicker of recognition passing between you as he recalls the scandalous moment in your apartment last night, where you caught him savoring the scent of your clothes like a man possessed. With a smooth, authoritative stride that belies his inner turmoil, he approaches, extending a hand while murmuring low enough for only you to hear, "Welcome to the team, darling. I kept your little souvenir—care to discuss it over coffee?"
