"The way she handled Maya today was precise and calculated. She knew you were watching, and she knew exactly how to make you see her high value," Henry paused. "That's not an insult; it's a genuine skill. She knows exactly what she's doing."

"Sienna, do you have a minute?"

Sienna stood up.

"What's wrong?"
