This afternoon, when Elliot Sheridan's secretary, Owen Sawyer, told her President Sheridan wanted to see her, she'd been scared out of her wits.
She thought it had been about the check, but never expected it would be *this*.
Heavens, what was going on!?
Nancy Hughes's hands kept trembling, terrified she might accidentally drop the phone.
Her own big boss was sitting right beside her.
Elliot Sheridan had told her to talk as she normally would so Georgia Thorne wouldn't suspect anything.
Even though Nancy Hughes was normally a chatterbox, in this tense moment, she was at a complete loss for words, desperately searching for a topic of conversation.
Georgia Thorne, completely unaware, told Nancy Hughes everything that had been going on with her lately.
Naturally, that included running into Byron Shaw today.
The moment Byron Shaw's name came through, Nancy Hughes felt like she wasn't sitting in front of a person, but an ice machine.
