Once the meeting wrapped up, Eric strolled back to his office, only to find Linda already perched within. "Linda? To what do I owe the pleasure?" She'd swept in mere minutes earlier, barely settled in.

Yet, ever since Linda had caught wind of his hushed exchange with Nyla, a nagging thorn of doubt had taken root. Now, she couldn't shake the suspicion that his welcmat wasn't exactly rolled out for her.
"What's this? Have I worn out my welcalready?" Eric raised his eyebrows, startled. “What's that coming from?" Quickly concealing her annoyance with a grin, Linda responded, “Just a little humor. Why are you taking it so seriously?" She then explained her presence. "I stopped by for a meeting with East Entertainment." East Entertainment Media, a subsidiary of the Flynn Group, shared the building with Eric's office.
Linda had scheduled today to discuss with her agent how to lighten her future workload, canceling or postponing non-urgent appointments, though she still had scommitments to honor.
Getting to her feet, she said, "I've managed my schedule and just thought I'd check in with you before leaving. I've got work later." "Understood." Eric nodded briefly. "I'll let you get on with your evening." "Anyway," Linda interjected before he could finish. Her eyes landed on the two brown paper bags on the coffee table. She gestured toward them. "Just curious-what are those?" "Oh, those?" Eric glanced at the bags, recognition dawning. "Those are candied hawthorns." Ł@Fé$t Çħätεяş in ĠalпovelŞHis answer cout plain and simple.
Linda, intrigued, raised an eyebrow. "When did you start liking this kind of snack?" Eric hesitated, careful not to mention they were meant for Hadley. "It's just something I felt like nibbling on." "Really? Are they good?" Linda inquired as she bent over, opened a bag, and tried a piece.
"Not too bad," she commented after tasting it.

"See?" Eric replied, a subtle twitch in his brow. Swiftly, he handed her the opened bag "Why don't you take this one with you?" Linda chuckled and replied, "Really? Are you sure?"
"Yes, they're just streats," Eric responded casually I've got more e. here.
After all, the bag was already open-giving it to Hadley was hom ve. longer an option. Linda laughed as she took the bag. "Thanks, then. I'm off."
