    She powered up herptop and dived back into her work.


    Before long, it was time to clock out. Malvina dashed out the door quickly.


    She raced downstairs—she had ns to meet Heidi at the café below the office.


    When she got there, Heidi was already seated.


    “So, you wanted to discuss Yvonne? Go ahead.” Malvina cut to the chase, offering no warmth.


    “That role should have been yours after I left. Don’t you want to reim what belongs to you from Yvonne?” Heidi took a sip of her coffee, grinning as she spoke.


    The proposal was undoubtedly appealing to Malvina.


    But no matter how enticing it seemed, Malvina realized that she needed to tread carefully.


    She sipped her coffee and questioned, “What specifically do you want me to do? And why should I put my faith in you?”


    Heidi offered a slight smile. “Because I’m on Miss Tucker’s team. You know who supports her—I don’t have to spell it out for you. For now, there’s nothing you need to do. Just keep tabs on Yvonne for me and let me know of anything significant.”

    Another alert sounded on her phone. “Do you need me toe and fetch you?”


    She quickly pocketed her phone and briskly made her way to the vehicle.


    The idea of being spotted with Norton was troubling—if her colleagues saw them, exining their association would be challenging.


    Once inside, she positioned herself next to Norton.


    He moved closer to her, prompting her to reflexively push him back. “What are you doing?”


    Norton moved closer again. “What’s making you so nervous?” His voice was gentle, ending with a teasing inflection that made her shiver slightly.
