I drop my shoulders as 1 prepare for battle. “Are you here to see me?”.
“What do you think?” she snapsay she marches past me down the hall and into my office.
Who is that?” Marci whispers.
Just give me ten minutes I practically run to my office to find a siting calmly at my desk. Her dark hair is she’s wearing a black fitted dress, nude stilettos with a matching nude Chanel hig. Her back is ramrod sight and elegance
