Tonight, she didn’t want to share that luxury.
She was seated at her desk with an air of authority--not that she needed to settle herself in like a school principal.
Her fingers were laced together on her desk and she was smiling, as per usual, when she summoned Adorea to her.
“Hello,” she greeted, almost pleasantly. “Adorea. I don’t think we’ve had the opportunity to get to know each other. A shame it’s under these circumstances. Have a seat.”
