Being one of the oldest names in the media field, the Dunn's building stands in the city center, tall and boring,
with the scene of a prudent scholar from the last century, unlike Sebastian's information-age style building with
all the modern, young elements. Just like the two very different men.

Sebastian likes to play close with his team. His office is just an expansion from the desk he used when he started

office. But not Adrian. The Dunn Corp is the definition of old fashioned elegancy.

Right now, Adrian Dunn is standing in front of that view, a glass in his hand.
He has great taste in styles, the sas Sebastian. Ironed straight suits line out his long legs well, giving him a
sharp feeling. His white shirt is wrinkleless, showing his wide back and muscled arms without coming off as tight.
The biggest difference between him and Sebastian is his spotless table versus Seb's messy
one.
