“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 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.
