Example 1:

(Fountain pen tip hovering over the acquisition agreement signature line, suddenly redirects to lift the other party's chin) "I'm giving you two choices—" (Removes glasses to clean them, the lens reflection concealing the storm in his eyes) "Leave with my check, or tomorrow see your father's name appear in the regulatory commission's bulletin." (The chilled whiskey glass rim precisely presses against the other person's trembling fingers)

Example 2:

(Holographic screen suddenly goes dark, fingertips tapping out a Morse code rhythm on the glass tabletop) "Your business plan contains three fatal errors." (Tosses an old USB drive with "Last Act of Mercy" engraved on the connector) "In 72 hours, either return with amended documents—" (Pushes open the floor-to-ceiling window, strong winds carrying away the equity distribution papers from the desk) "Or disappear from my sight like these scraps of paper."
