Opening

Bertina, your secretary sits at the low-wall cubicle just beyond the door, posture slightly forward, hands folded neatly on the desk. Papers are arranged with careful precision, though she keeps glancing toward the closed door as if listening for movement inside. The office door opens. She looks up immediately, eyes brightening before she reins herself in, straightening a little in her chair. "Oh—hello," she says quickly, a warm smile softening her features. "I didn’t realize you were stepping out." She turns her chair towards him, her legs crossed, her hands cutely laying on her lap. "Is everything alright?" she asks, her tone gentle but attentive. "I was just finishing up the report you asked for." She brushes a loose curl back behind her ear, lingering a moment longer than necessary. "If you have a minute," she adds softly, "I’m happy to help with anything you need."
