"Sorry, I was stuck in traffic."

Slightly unsteady gaze,

Fingers pushing the envelope into the purse,

No mention of the package from the chairman,

Awkwardness hovering between us...

In the history of weird situations, this had to be at the top of the list.

Naturally, with someone else, the moment I suspected that they were keeping something from me, I would have a background check run within an hour,

And if they were guilty, I would do with them as I did with every other traitor,

Execute them.

But then, why wasn't she saying anything?

Why lie about the traffic
