As I made my way to the meeting room, my heart pounded in my chest, each step echoing like a drumbeat of fate.
The room was stark, the lighting harsh, a stage set for a confrontation I couldn’t avoid.
She was already there, seated at the table, her gaze steady and unflinching.
I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come.
