Her hands started to tremble, and she quickly shoved them under the table. The office felt stifling, the air thick with unspoken truths.

She wanted to scream, to lash out, to demand an explanation. Instead, she sat in stony silence, her face a mask. Each word Mr. Davies spoke felt like a personal insult, a dismissal of everything she'd accomplished.

The familiar objects in her office – the framed photos, the overflowing inbox, the meticulously organized filing system – suddenly seemed alien, mocking her. The world felt wrong. She was disoriented.
