Nora choked on her words and could only smile awkwardly.

As she struggled to find the right explanation for Kaia, casual chatter from passing employees drifted in from outside.

“Hey, did you guys see that? Is the woman in Mr. Graves‘ office his fiancée? So sweet–Mr. Graves is making coffee for her himself!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, that’s Mr. Graves‘ sister! You new guys may not know this, but Mr. Graves is well–known for doting on
