Hertha, decked out in her sporty chic, linked arms with Thalassa as they trailed behind the head of their design team towards the heart of the horse racing track.

Leaning closer to Thalassa, Hertha lowered her voice to a whisper, "So, I heard from the boss that the client from our last meeting wasn't too thrilled with our designs. Looks like we've got a fresh shot today." Thalassa replied with a hint of regret, "Hertha, I'm really sorry. I think I blew it."
