Zara arrived at Carter Realty the next morning dressed in a sharp navy-blue pantsuit, white blouse, and matching white heels.
Even though it was early, she wore sunglasses, giving her the perfect CEO look—cool, confident, and ready to take on the day.
But as she stepped into the lobby, something felt off.
A number of staff involved in the Skyline District Project were hanging around, chatting in groups. And they were all dressed casually.
Zara blinked. Jeans. Hoodies. Even slippers. One even held a small suitcase.
While she tried to make sense of it, the elevator doors slid open, and out walked Ace and Gina—hand in hand, both dressed in casual outfits.
That was so unlike them.
"What the..." she muttered.
Before she could process more, a hand yanked her back and pulled her outside the building.
They didn't stop until they reached the side of the building.
"Zara, what are you wearing?" Nadia asked, fuming, adjusting her hat.
