Just then, there was a knock at the conference room door, and someone pushed it open from the outside.
Mr. Blake, still furious, was enraged by the interruption. He whipped his head around. "Who are you? Who let you in!" he demanded.
Felice's expression changed when she saw who it was. "Sunny? What are you doing here?"
Sunny peeked her head in, glancing from Felice to Mr. Blake before stepping inside. "Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Blake. I just... I have something to deliver. I'll leave right away."
The oppressive atmosphere in the room was palpable. She swallowed nervously and walked over to Victoria, whispering, "Victoria, a man just dropped this on my desk. He said I had to give it to you right away."
She handed a portfolio to Victoria.
A small smile played on Victoria's lips. "Perfect timing."
Sunny was confused. "What is it?"
Felice, who had been listening, frowned and grabbed Sunny's arm. "You've delivered it. Now get out!" she snapped impatiently.
Pulled unexpectedly, Sunny stumbled. Victoria reached out and steadied her, then shot a look at Felice.
Meeting Victoria's eyes, Felice felt a jolt of panic and looked away. She felt a sudden, inexplicable wave of panic and quickly looked away.
"Victoria..." Sunny said, looking worried.
Victoria gestured for Sunny to take her seat, patting her on the shoulder and mouthing the words, "It's fine."
"Victoria!" Mr. Blake roared. "What is the meaning of this? Are you completely ignoring me?!"
