“The sound bounced off high vaulted ceilings lit with art deco chandeliers. The loud echo, unfortunately, didn’t drown out Anna’s voice coming from the earbud. “Please don’t tell me you’re late.” The usually husky timbre grew sharp. Anna was about to start ranting. So, Nicole wouldn’t say she was late. In this case, late was a technical term. She’d taken a break to get a much-needed-afternoon-iced coffee. Keeping calm, she tapped a thumb against the phone’s screen. Ten minutes to make it to the ...top floor. She downed more iced coffee—the reason she was ten minutes from getting an ass chewing. Stark quiet filled the earbud. Silence was deadly, because that meant Anna was gearing up for a condescending rant. It would involve telling Nicole all the things she was doing wrong and implying that’s why she hadn’t made it to the next level of managing director.
