Zoe was indispensable, as usual, handling every chaotic moment with her ever-present clipboard and calm demeanor.

The door opened slightly, and as if on cue, Zoe's head popped in, clipboard in hand. "Sarah, the meeting room is ready. Do you need anything before we start?"

"Just a miracle," I replied dryly, though I couldn't hide the smirk tugging at my lips.

Zoe gave me one of her rare smiles. "We've survived worse. Remember the time the PowerPoint crashed mid-pitch?"

I groaned at the memory. "Don't remind me. I still have nightmares about that."
