After a full day of meetings, I was utterly drained.
Ivanna noticed my exhaustion and cautiously suggested, “Chlo, I should take you home. You need torest and clear your mind. Tomorrow’s press conference, though well–organized, may still presentunforeseen challenges. You don’t look well.”
Lauren kept signaling her with her eyes, urging her to stop.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed. ‘I’m fine. I’ll get some rest after the press conference.”

full of curiosity.
“What’s going on? Is there something I don’t know?”
Ivanna looked at me, her expression uncomfortable. She swiftly attempted to change the subject. “Oh,let’s not get sidetracked. Are you heading home or not? It’s getting late.”
