“Still working, hmm?”

She looks up from her file and immediately stands up to give me a warm hug. “How did you come in here?”

After she asks the question, a woman who is trying to catch her breath after running at the corridor shows up in front of us. I smirk, she must be Tiffany’s new secretary or something.
