As they walked to the car, Sarah spoke casually.

“By the way, I’ve decided I can start working at the company tomorrow. I think I’m ready to get back into the swing of things.”

Leo’s face lit up. “That’s great news! Everyone’s going to be thrilled to have you there. Oh, and speaking of tomorrow, there’s a new hire joining the team as well. You’ll be starting on the same day.”

“Really?” Sarah asked, her curiosity piqued. “Who’s the new person?”

Leo’s eyes gleamed as he explained.

“She’s a design genius. Her sense of color and space is unmatched, and she’s incredibly talented. She’s going to be a real asset to the team.”

Sarah’s expression shifted slightly. “What’s her name?”

“Linda,” Leo replied, glancing at her.

The name hit Sarah like a jolt. She froze for a moment, her hand tightening around her clutch. “Linda?” she repeated, her voice quieter.

“Yes,” Leo said, noticing her reaction. “Do you know her?*
