TG Tower Conference Level.
Recruitment Suite
9:15 AM
The recruitment suite on the twelfth floor looked nothing like the rest of the building. The walls were soft gray instead of the usual glass, and the lighting was warm rather than clinical. Hana requested this setup the night before. She wanted a neutral room, a space that did not overwhelm applicants or remind them that TG Tower represented a corporate empire. Today was about choosing someone capable of running a national foundation, not someone intimidated by the environment.
She stood near the edge of the table reviewing the final shortlist. Five names. Five backgrounds. Five different approaches to leadership.
