Zoe Rhodes shook her head, forcing away the faint, ambiguous feeling from a moment ago. She adopted a business-like tone as she got down to brass tacks with Zane Hawthorne.
Hearing her request, Zane Hawthorne didn't hesitate. "I'll have Mr. Vance get it to you tomorrow."
Zoe Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "So, are you heading home for the day?"
"If you're busy, I can just... head back first?"
For some reason, Zoe Rhodes felt the atmosphere in the office grow heavier the moment the words left her mouth.
Zane Hawthorne wasn't one to show his emotions. He kept a tight rein on his words and expressions, making it difficult for others to notice any fluctuations in his mood.
But Zoe Rhodes was different.
She didn't need to observe; she simply understood Zane Hawthorne.
A long stretch of silence from him meant he wasn't in a good mood.
