When lunchtime finally arrived, the office slowly returned to its usual rhythm.
The excitement from the morning announcement had settled, replaced by the familiar hum of work and quiet chatter.
However, Sienna had no intention of spending her break with her team today. She had a mission focused on food, cooking skills, and recipes.
Carrying a neatly packed paper bag in one hand, she made her way down the corridor toward Ava's office, her steps unusually light, her lips curved in a small smile as she thought about this sudden mission.
Inside the bag were two Caesar salads with grilled shrimp and two cold sodas. Peace offerings, or more accurately, strategic tools.
She stopped in front of Ava's door and knocked gently.
"Come in…" Ava's calm voice answered almost immediately.
Sienna pushed the door open and stepped inside, lifting the paper bag slightly as if it were a prize. "My dear friend," she announced cheerfully, "I brought you lunch."
