A chuckle rumbled in Mark’s chest, a sound he couldn’t quite control. He leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking under his weight. "Well, well, well," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the laptop screen. He reread the email, savoring each word.

He swiveled around in his chair, gazing out at the city skyline. It was his. His words. His ideas. He felt the weight of his own brilliance.
