The polished floors of the AD Tech conference hall clicked under my heels as I stepped in. I took a deep breath, trying to settle the flutter in my chest. Around me, the room was alive with tension-whispers, nervous smiles, the air thick with first-day jitters. Ten interns, ten dreams, and an unspoken fear of not being enough.

No longer a schoolboy.

A man.

The CEO of AD Tech. And I was one of the interns standing in his line of fire.

He cleared his throat, and the air seemed to tense even further as he took one step forward.

My voice was sharp, distant. Each syllable felt like it was weighed before being spoken.

"You made it through the tests. The rest didn't. But don't think you've accomplished anything yet."

As I glanced around the room, cold and calculating.
