Erik glanced at his phone, wondering why he hadn't heard from Ms. Tennyson. He thought everything had gone smoothly, but seeing Ludwik show up at the office made him realize she must not have met with him as planned.

Feeling a twinge of worry, he quickly dialed Ms. Tennyson's number. As he waited for her to pick up, his eyes landed on a young woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to Ms. Tennyson. She was stunning, with almond-shaped eyes that mirrored Ms. Tennyson's own-cold as ice but strikingly beautiful.
