As Nong settled into his desk, he noticed an air of tension lingering around the office, prickling his skin like static electricity. Mook approached him with a troubled expression, her brows knitted together in worry.

Nong, we need to talk, she said, her voice grave.

Nong’s heart skipped a beat, a chilly feeling settling in his stomach. Of course, Mook. What’s on your mind? he asked, trying to mask his apprehension.
