Charles stroked his lips and nodded as he studied the document. "Ms. Hoven, as expected of you. Your work is always thorough."

Emelie's expression remained calm.

Behind her, Jodie's face was devoid of emotion. It was clear that Charles' repeated references to her past were meant to test Emelie, to see if she would be thrown off balance.

Emelie took it all in stride with a calm demeanor.

William, with a cold look on his face, threw the document on the table and picked up his glass of wine. He seemed to be the one who had been thrown off balance instead.
