How could Oliver Bloom be here, and when did he meet Howard?
Elise Don had a bizarre sense of crisis, reminding herself that Oliver Bloom might have some secrets he's hiding from her.
On one hand, she hoped it was just her paranoia, but then she remembered how, two years ago, Oliver Bloom had been the same, outwardly kind and accommodating, while secretly trying to control her.
That suffocating feeling struck again.
In front of the elevator, Howard and Oliver Bloom shook hands once more, as if reaching some kind of agreement.
Soon, a secretary came to inform Elise Don, "The boss is waiting for you in the office."
Elise Don began to feel increasingly uneasy.
She knocked on the door and entered.
Howard was in a good mood, cleaning his desk. He hadn't visited in a year, and a bit of dust had gathered on the edges of the ornaments.
"What did you want to see me about, Elise?"
"I want to talk about what was announced on the runway yesterday," Elise Don said.
