Camila exited Connor’s chat and opened Alan’s chat instead. [Good morning. Sorry to disturb you so early. I’m taking the day off. In my desk’s second drawer, there’s a document with a pink post–it. It’s urgent. The tech department needs Mr. Connor’s signature. Could you please take it to Mr. Connor? Thanks.]

Connor paused, looked up, took the document, and flipped through it. “When did Camila contact you?” he asked casually.
