Stopped.

By the time I got to the office building, I had already mentally solved half the retail case.

My assistant was already waiting.

Tablet in hand.

She walked beside me as we moved toward my office.

“Good.”

Then I ended the call after what feels like a lifetime.

And I turned around.

In the chair across my desk.

Calm.

Composed.
