“These are the new proposals we received while you were away,” Naomi said, placing them gently on her desk. “Some of them might need your approval.”
Georgia nodded, flipping the first page. “Alright. Let’s start with this one.”
Naomi relaxed a little, seeing her boss so calm, as if nothing was wrong. Only Georgia knew the weight pressing quietly at the back of her mind, that note, those words, but she didn’t let it show.
