Lord have mercy. This man about to lose everything. The words slipped out of Maya Williams before she even knew she’d said them.

Maya had paused, watching as he stared down at a stack of documents. His face was pale, his right hand trembling as he picked up a pen.
He hesitated, then pressed the pen to the page. He was about to sign something. A knockdown feeling twisted in Maya’s gut. Before she could process it, a harsh voice snapped behind her. What the hell are you doing here? She turned sharply to find Mr. Carver, her floor supervisor, barreling down the hallway.
