The towering glass facade of Caldwell Grand Hotel gleamed under the bright Manhattan sun, reflecting the city’s unstoppable energy. Inside, the scent of polished mahogany, fresh-cut orchids, and expensive cologne filled the grand lobby, where men in tailored suits and women in designer heels glided effortlessly across the marble floor.

No detail escaped him. Not the slightly smudged window near the entrance, not the out-of-place floral arrangement near the reception desk, and certainly not the woman mopping the floor near the elevators.
