Yunying stepped out of Jinxing's office with her usual poise, the sound of her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. The moment she appeared in the hallway, the atmosphere shifted. Conversations dimmed, eyes turned, and every secretary within sight straightened their posture as though they'd just remembered how to breathe properly.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Qian!"
The first greeting came almost in chorus. Heads dipped respectfully, voices polite but tinged with something new — caution.
