But Drew was not ready to back down. He crossed his arms and continued, “I just think it is clear who got the job. If you see her resume, you will understand. I worry about the future of this studio if we allow these kinds of shortcuts.”

He sat at a large desk in a quiet room. flipping through thick documents.
His eyes moved slowly over each page as he tried to absorb the details.
The long hours of reviewing made his head feel heavy, and he began to rub his forehead with tired fingers.

Cody explained, “I think Megan was a little nervous about making moonwort tea for you for the first time. Perhaps the fire was not under control, and it changed the flavor. His voice was soft and understanding.
Arnold frowned. He leaned back in his chair and said slowly. “Megan? Where is Nora? Let her make it for me.”
