Cecilia Young noticed right away and came over, using simple hand signs as she asked, “Rachel, are you okay? Did that new hire really take the project?”

Rachel grabbed Cecilia’s wrist. “Come with me.”

After thinking for a moment, she sighed. “Alright, I’m in. But be careful. If word gets out that the wife of Lewis Enterprise’s CEO is helping their rival company, it’s going to stir up a storm.”
