Driver

Lillian Grace
(It's almost like everything was planned.)
Office worker.

Office worker.

Lillian looked up at the doors.
This time, she opened it without knocking and went inside.
When she got inside, she closed the door behind her and looked at the CEO with the back of his chair facing her.
Lillian Grace
....How were you so sure I'd be back?
Xavier Haughton
