Anna placed a few oranges on my desk. I barely looked up, offering her a polite smile. “Ms. Anna, you really don’t have to do this. You always bring something when you visit. At this rate, our designers are going to get spoiled.”

“It’s nothing.” Anna settled into the chair beside me, her smile as warm as ever. “I don’t have much to do here anyway. Besides, my family is planning to start a design company, so I figured I’d come and learn a thing or two.”

I had been only half–listening while working, but the moment she brought up Loe and the competition, something about her tone put me on alert. It was difficult not to feel like she was fishing for information.
