    Summary

    “You’re 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?!"

    “Pregnant, Mycroft. Pregnant.” Anthea Hughes, his long-suffering assistant and second-in-command, said in a tone of utter bemusement.

    “My replacement.” Anthea slid a worryingly thin dossier across the desk.

    “I suppose she comes highly recommended?”

    “Not really.” Anthea sniffed. “She’s inexperienced, poor, and a bit annoying, to be honest.”
