As her words fell, they had already arrived at the company, Virgil pulled the car to the side and turned off the ignition.
Moira didn’t get out immediately. Instead, she kept her gaze fixed on him, waiting for his response.
She had said what she did to reassure him, but now that the confession was out, there was a part of her that was secretly hoping for his reaction.

A woman shouted, “If it was just a little more expensive, I’d let it slide, but this is over 7 thousand dollars more! No one’s n you guys are really gouging us.

“A problem? Just look at this quote you gave my daughter is this reasonable? The middle–aged woman fumed, slamming the papers in her hands Into Moira’s face.
With a sharp smack, the papers hit her face, stinging, before scattering all over the floor.
A faint red mark appeared on Moira’s cheek. She said nothing, simply bent down and started picking up the scattered papers. The quotes had been calculated by the finance department, and Moira had double–checked them herself–there was no issue.
