Tara walked up and smiled gently. “You’re an assistant in the CEO’s office, right? Was it Taya?”
I tried to calm my pounding heart, lowered my head, and nodded. “Yes, that’s right, Ms. Thorin.”
“Nice to meet you, Taya.” Tara looked at the time on her watch. “I’m going to hold a board meeting in half an hour. Can you make me a coffee and bring it to my office? I need a little pick-me-up.”
