Confused, his secretary glanced at Cedric. "Mr. Phillips, there's no rush at the office today. It's been a while since you've been home. Wouldn't it be better to start there and deal with work tomorrow?" Clenching his knees, Cedric replied tersely, "There's an urgent meeting I must attend.” The secretary opened his mouth to object, but the tense air in the car stopped him.
Just then, Daniela's phone vibrated.
It was a text from Russell.
"Daniela, there's a big new assignment."" Disinterested, Daniela was about to ignore it when another alert popped up.

Russell responded, "Anonymous. It wasn't routed through HQ but a subsidiary. Alita wants to know if we should accept.
"Proceed," Daniela responded.

Cedric pressed his lips together, showing a rare sight of timidity-the secretary had never seen him like this before.
Cedric didn't particularly wish to avoid going home; his greater fear was that Daniela might confront him with a divorce agreement, a scenahe felt unprepared to face.
At the airport, his first impulse was to flee upon seeing Daniela, yet he couldn't stand the thought of leaving.
When Daniela glanced his way, Cedric tentatively suggested, Maybe we should head hfirst?"
Putting away her phone, Daniela to replied, "Weren't you supposed return to your office? I'm free now; I could join you." Cedric's face betrayed a tumult of emotions. Daniela asked, “Is there a problem? Shouldn't I calong?"
"Yes, of course, you should come," Cedric quickly responded, kisdice eager. "I'd be glad for your company." Silence fell as Daniela returned her attention to her phone.
