The ignominious defeat sustained today dealt a devastating blow to her morale.
To compound her chagrin, her tenure within the Thomas Group would terminate, leaving her bereft of her mantle as Chief Designer. Such ignominy !
Humphrey’s gaze clouded, uncertain how to soothe Nancy’s distress.
Deep within, he too was beset by disquiet.
