(Sophie’s POV)
The morning started like any other, calm and routine. But by mid-morning, chaos struck — the kind that shook confidence, rattled nerves, and forced you to confront fears you didn’t know were still alive.
An urgent call came from one of the key investors on our current project. Something had gone wrong — a miscommunication, a lost file, a missed email — I wasn’t sure which. What I did know was that if we didn’t act fast, the project, my reputation, and the trust I was trying to rebuild would crumble.
Immediate Response
I grabbed my laptop and sprinted to the office, heart racing. The conference room was empty, save for Cassian and Adrian, both already reviewing contingency plans.
Cassian looked up as I entered, calm as ever. “Sophie, breathe. We’ll handle this together.”
