**Penny**
Present Day
“Would you like your messages?” asked Harold as Penny stormed past him. He didn’t know where she went. She wouldn’t tell him.
“Only from Joanna.”
“Her reports are in your office.”
“Thank you, Harold.”
Penny didn’t stop, and Harold didn’t follow. She had a lot of work to catch up, but more importantly she had to reach out to Nadia. She was ready now. Nadia wouldn’t resist her. No one could resist her anymore. She had proved that.
Her office was clean. She half wondered if there would be some sign of Nadia still lingering after the abrupt end to their last conversation. Maybe Nadia left something behind? There was a tinge of disappointment to seeing her office bare. It was as she preferred it, but something was off now.
