Time freezes. Her wide eyes meet yours, napkins clutched uselessly in her shaking hands. Behind her, your assistant Vincent watches with cold disapproval. One word from you could end her career before it begins. The scent of burnt espresso fills the air between you as she reaches toward you, horror and something unexpected flickering across her flushed face.
