Cedric remained stiff, his gaze unconsciously wandering to the door. The rest of the executives, mirroring him, were also sneaking glances outside.
The secretary stepped outside, greeting Daniela with a polite smile. “Mr. Phillips askedto kindly request that you wait a moment. He'll be out as soon as this meeting is wrapped up." Daniela nodded in acknowledgment. Since she was here to appease Cedric anyway, waiting a little longer didn't bother her.

The meeting dragged on. Every minute or so, Cedric stole a glance at Daniela, carefully masking his interest behind an indifferent facade.

Amused, Daniela completely forgot about handing the thermos to the secretary and followed Kenny downstairs. One minute later, Cedric glanced over his shoulder, then looked away. He froze. Then, he turned back again.

The secretary, exasperated, pushed open the conference room door, but before she could get a word out, the marketing manager groaned, "Mr. Phillips, we should've gone out earlier!
