Even though the company staff had already reined themselves in, those curious, speculative glances were impossible to ignore.

Sylvie pressed her lips into a thin line. She refused to let even the slightest crack in her composure show; chin up, shoulders squared, she strode into the elevator and made her way upstairs.
