“I don’t want to disrupt your workflow,” Maggie replied with a gentle smile.
“You’re not disrupting anything,” Rosalynn assured her.
“Indeed, let’s continue our conversation,” Karina chimed in.
“Alright.

“Did you hear about Sanford’s engagement, Maggie?” Rosalynn inquired, seamlessly transitioning to personal matters after wrapping their professional discussion.
