She emerged from the elevator in professional attire with a pair of glasses on her face, and she presented a composed and capable demeanor.

Karina took note of everything as they walked.

She closed a folder and handed it to Karina, saying “Go to the meeting room first.”

“Yes, Ms. Walker.” Karina took the folder and left.

Natalie strode toward her office, and her assistants returned to their respective positions.

Looking at her drinking without any defense, he chuckled, “That’s the cup I’ve used.”
