“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.”

“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.
