Isabelle led Kane to his office and deposited three thick binders on his desk.
"Supply chain analysis, shipping manifests, and regulatory compliance reports," she announced, each word crisp as winter air.
"Cross-reference columns A through M with the corresponding international codes in appendix seven."
Kane opened the first binder, greeted by endless rows of numbers, dates, and cryptic abbreviations.
"Any discrepancies should be highlighted and categorized by severity level—minor, moderate, or critical. Color-coding is mandatory."
"Color-coding," Kane repeated flatly.
"Yellow for minor, orange for moderate, and red for critical." Isabelle's tone suggested this was perfectly reasonable.
"Mr. Drakhal expects thorough documentation."
Kane stared at the spreadsheets as Isabelle continued explaining pivot tables and cross-referencing protocols with the enthusiasm of someone describing medieval torture techniques.
