“Radcliffe Architecture, a firm out of Seabar, is bidding on the smart systems for the new factory. Their quote is three percent over our budget…”
Korbin slammed on the gas, the car shooting forward. He didn’t wait for the man to finish before snapping back, “Why are you calling me about something so trivial?”
The voice on the other end turned frantic and apologetic. “But Mr. Chapman, we ran a background check. The owner of Radcliffe Architecture is Mr. Caldwell’s father–in–law. We didn’t dare make that call on our own.”
“What?”
Korbin nearly jerked the steering wheel, quickly gripping it with both hands to steady the car.
His face hardened. “Are you absolutely sure about that?”
“One thousand percent. Radcliffe Architecture is well–known in Seabar. Rumor has it they had cash flow problems recently and the Caldwell family bailed them out, so the connection is real.

After all, missing a chance to build a bridge with the Caldwell Group would be a disaster–worth far more than a mere three percent margin.

With no time to settle in, Zara dove straight in, moving from one task to the next without a single break.
By the time she finally stopped, the workday was over.
She had been frozen in the same posture all day; as soon as she moved, a wave of soreness hit her back and waist, making her wince.

“Work is exhausting. No wonder everyone complains about it!”
Zara rolled her stiff shoulders as she packed up to leave. Checking her phone, she realized she had missed several calls.
Noah and Niamh had messaged to check in, asking how her first day went and if she was tired.
Zara sent a quick reply before noticing several missed calls from Darius and Willa.
“Why are Mom and Dad calling?”

Puzzled, Zara dialed them back. The call connected immediately. “Zara, are you okay? Why haven’t you been answering?”
Hearing the concern in Darius‘ voice, Zara smiled brightly. “Dad, I’m perfectly fine. It was my first day at work, and I got so busy! forgot to look at my phone.”
Darius sounded stunned. “Work?”
“I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet. I’ll explain later…”
