“Pass it to me, Nancy. I’ll forward it to my brother later.”

After relinquishing the work to Humphrey, Nancy lapsed into a pensive quietude.

“Nancy, are you all right?” Noticing Nancy’s disconcerted demeanor, Humphrey waved a hand beforeher eyes.

Within the design quarters of the Thomas Group, the team reconvened after their lunch break.

A voice carried rumors.

“Did you catch wind of Mr. Thomas’ new assistant? He goes by Trenton Torres.”

“In the elevator, I spotted Trenton by Mr. Thomas’ side, and Derek was conspicuously absent.”

“Really? What about Derek? Where did he vanish to?”

A frown etched its way onto Millie’s features. That was quite a high fever. Likely a consequence ofgetting caught in the rain.

Unintentionally, Millie’s fists clenched.

“Where is he?”
