Capítulo 2010: Secret audit (1)

The door of the conference room was closed so Chloe knocked briefly before pushing the door open and peeking in. She saw two women in sharp black business suits standing at the far end of the long conference table. Both women had their hair up in a tight bun without a single strand out of place, and they had matching stern expressions while talking and pointing at the papers that were in front of them. They didn't seem to notice Chloe's presence.

Chloe cleared her throat to get their attention. "Excuse me, I…"

"Miss Chloe Long?", one of the women cut her off.

Chloe nodded.

"You are late.", the other woman said curtly and gestured for Chloe to come in.

Chloe closed the door behind her. "I apologize, I…"

"You are assigned to a special project to work under a new supervisor.", the first woman said.

Chloe's surprise was obvious. First, by this news, and second by the fact that both women were collecting the papers as if they are leaving.
