Ellison’s phone rang. William was calling.

She felt her mouth go dry and reached for a white bottle sitting on Ellison’s desk. Without thinking, she twisted off the cap and took a swig.

After a sip of water, she looked at him, still trying to hold her ground.

Joycelyn, a bit jealous, moved quickly–too quickly for Ellison to stop her before it was too late.
