Hearing the News

Meanwhile, in the main office, Caroline arrived, wearing a modest gray dress that flowed down to her ankles, matched with a pearl necklace and a simple hat to complete her ensemble. She approached Poul and Jonathan, who were busy flipping through piles of papers and jotting down notes on their notepads, in preparation for the important business meeting with their investors later that afternoon.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen," Caroline greeted them with a curtsey. "How are the preparations coming along?"

Poul and Jonathan looked up from their work and exchanged glances. They were both pleasantly surprised to see Caroline, who was usually preoccupied with her own work in the bedroom. 

"We are doing fine, just one final preparation and we are ready to go," Poul replied. 

"So, you are leaving now?" Jonathan asked as he noticed her appearance. "I will escort you out and take you personally to the carriage."
