Since rebranding from Enchanted to Caline, the company had been growing steadily.
Darcie had orchestrated a big reshuffle among the core team members, and those who remained were probably her closest allies.

Stella grabbed her phone, snapped a quick picture of her office, and sent it to Felicity, saying, "What do you think? Pretty big, huh?" Felicity replied in amazement, "Wow, that's massive!

Felicity was astounded and typed: [ You're really something, using your dad as a tool.
