Nora stiffened slightly, but her expression remained neutral.

Megan continued oblivious to the tension her words created.

Megan chuckled, lowering her voice slightly as if sharing a secret. “Well, maybe she isn’t the most capable, but she’s certainly lucky. The project’s progress has been slow, but Arnold felt bad for her. So, he personally went to her company last night to help out.”
