Alex arrived at the office earlier than usual, to catch up on cloned email review before the place got busy. She felt tired and edgy; she could hardly wait for the small coffee machine to finish brewing.

Thanks,

Ben

She stood for a few seconds, staring into the laptop screen, thinking about options. She slammed the laptop shut and headed out. She had two hours to prepare for this meeting.
