The next day, Shalma Hughes arrived at The Hughes Group early in the morning. When she reached her office, Thea Grant was standing at the door, eyes crinkled in a wide smile, her hands behind her back. Shalma was dressed in an ivory-white suit paired with a cashmere overcoat. Her hair remained at shoulder length, and she wore light makeup. Despite having had a child, her figure was as slender and graceful as ever. She walked over in her heels, shooting Thea a teasing glance as she passed by.
Catching Shalma's suggestive look, Thea instantly blushed. She lowered her head and shuffled into the office after her.
Although the office hadn't been used for a long time, it had clearly been cleaned regularly. Unlike Julian Winslow, whose office was so immaculately tidy that it lacked any human touch, Shalma's workspace always felt slightly cluttered, yet there seemed to be an underlying method to the madness.
