The suspension notice went out to the entire company group chat at the same time. Kaia had just pulled into the parking garage when her phone started buzzing nonstop.

Warren: [What’s going on? Why did HR just announce your suspension in the main group?]

Vanessa: [Are you okay? Are you at the office? Did you see the group message?]

Kaia checked her phone for a while.

[I’m in the parking garage. I’ll be up in a minute.] She chose to respond only to Vanessa’s message.
