場景一：總行值班室
English
Taipei City, Taiwan Thursday, 8:12 p.m. — Head Office, Credit Division The night-duty room was filled only with the drone of the air conditioner. Deputy Manager Huang shut the file in front of him, but lingered in his chair.
His phone glowed softly, and his eyes fixed on the thread of a message:
【1208 / Fri / Songjiang】 No greeting. No explanation. Just a line, broken and bare. Perhaps it meant a reminder: 12:08, Songjiang Branch—business dinner, or a meeting with someone important. The smile tugging at his lips suggested he had been waiting for this moment.

台灣．台北市 週四晚間 8 點 12 分 — 總行・授信部 夜班值勤室裡，只剩下冷氣機的嗡鳴聲。 黃協理闔上桌前的文件，卻沒有立即起身。
手機螢幕微亮，他盯著一則訊息：
【1208 / Fri / 松江】 沒有稱呼，沒有解釋，只是一行簡短冰冷的字。 或許這是提醒：12:08，松江分行——商務晚宴，或與某位要角會面。 嘴角的笑意顯示，他早已期待這一刻。
文化語境
- 「協理」(Deputy Manager) → 台灣金融業常見職稱，介於科長與經理之間。英文若直譯成 Associate Manager 或 Deputy Manager，會帶點官僚味。
- 「1208 / 松江」→ 沒有上下文的代碼式訊息，在間諜/金融小說裡暗示「交易座標」或「會面密碼」。
生字
- drone（嗡鳴聲）→ 常用來形容持續低沉的聲音。
- linger（停留、逗留）→ 表示人物心事未決，不急著走。
場景二：會議走廊
English
Thursday, 8:36 p.m. — Conference Hallway Lin Yue passed by with a stack of signed documents in her arms. The work wasn’t truly necessary. The title “Project Assistant” merely gave her a reason—
a convenient excuse to be everywhere.
With her model-like features and effortless style, she drew wary respect.
Senior managers, mindful of her family’s background, kept their distance. Her cool poise, her self-assured intelligence— never fawning, never playing humble— left little room for others to find fault.
The veterans knew better than to gossip or nitpick.
Most understood the unspoken truth: Her presence here was disproportionate from the start.
To her, perhaps this position was nothing more than a waystation.
“Good work,” Deputy Manager Huang said, stepping aside, his voice light.
Yet his eyes lingered an extra beat.

週四晚間 8 點 36 分 — 會議走廊 林悅抱著一疊簽好字的文件走過。 這份工作並非真正必要，「專案助理」的頭銜，不過是個方便的理由——
讓她能出現在任何角落。
她擁有模特兒般的外貌與不費力的優雅，讓人不敢小覷。
高階主管顧及她的家世背景，都保持距離。她的冷靜姿態與自信智慧——不逢迎，不卑微——讓人無從挑剔。
老資歷的人心裡明白，不會隨便八卦。
