“Mm. It's late. You should go to bed,” Charlotte reminded her.

“What about you?” Lupine asked with concern. “It's almost two in the morning. Aren't you going to bed? You need to go to the company early tomorrow morning.”

“I'll just read a few more documents...”

Charlotte's sentence was cut short when her phone began vibrating. She glanced at the screen and shot a look at Lupine.

“No.” Charlotte hadn't expected her call. “What is this about, Ms. Gold?”

“I have some questions,” Nancy stated hesitantly. “I don't know if I should pose them to you.”

“Go ahead,” Charlotte answered.

“I—” Nancy was about to speak when the line got cut off.

“Hello? Hello!” Charlotte said, but the call was hung up. Frowning, she wondered if she should call Nancy back but thought the better of it.
