A few employees exchanged subtle glances, curiosity flickering in their eyes, though none of them spoke a word.
Watching from a distance, Maria felt a surge of irritation rising within her.
'They must have done it…' she thought, her jaw tightening.
Instead of reacting outwardly, she composed herself and walked toward Adam's office.
Inside, Adam was adjusting his suit, his movements neat and controlled.
The moment he saw Maria, his expression turned cold, his posture stiffening slightly.
"What do you want?" he asked, his tone firm.
Maria stepped forward and placed a folder neatly on his desk.
"This is the follow-up on the recent client matter," she said smoothly. "Mr. Jason Taylor has outlined a few additional requirements..."
Adam gave a short nod, cutting her off. "Leave it here. I'll look into it later."
Her words halted instantly. She nodded obediently, turning to leave without protest.
