The atmosphere inside the conference hall was suffocating, and Mia had to step out just to breathe.

She still couldn’t wrap her head around it–how someone as cold and distant as Tinley could possibly give birth to someone as sweet and warm as Yvonne.

If Yvonne didn’t inherit Tinley’s beauty, Mia would’ve seriously suspected they weren’t biologically related.

A single raindrop landed squarely on Mia’s forehead, snapping her out of her spiraling thoughts.

She looked up at the gloomy sky and muttered, “Rain already? That was fast.”

She wondered if Yvonne’s beloved ants had found their way home before the storm hit.

With a sigh, she dusted herself off and started heading back toward the meeting hall. But just as she reached the entrance, a familiar voice called out behind her.

She turned and saw Selly, arms full of documents and bouncing with energy.

They were both there to meet Tinley–but clearly in very different emotional states.

“What are you doing?” Selly called playfully. “I saw you standing outside for like two whole minutes. You haven’t even gone in!”

Mia looked like she was about to cry. “I made a dumb decision. Now I’m scared she’s going to kill me.”

Selly gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder—but her words lacked any real comfort.

“Don’t worry. Tinley doesn’t yell. She’s actually been in a good mood lately… super gentle.”

Mia stared at her. “Are we talking about the same Tinley?”

The closer she got to the room, the more terrified she felt. Facing a boss was nerve–wracking enough–but this was her boss’s boss, wrapped in every ominous rumor imaginable. A coworker had even tried to spook her that morning. It worked.

Still smiling, Selly looped her arm through Mia’s and chirped, “Come on, we’ll go in together.”

Inside, the meeting had already shifted to discussing the previous night’s internet fiasco.
