Adrian was contemplating Ollivander's threat as Max was reflecting on Adrian's words from yesterday; their thoughts did not ever cross.

She got ready in the morning and dressed up, looking a little different from her regular appearance, with her perfect skin and long hair, which she typically ties up but let loose and styled with a little volume today because she was feeling better and had promised Max she would go to work.
People have stopped wearing shirts and span skirts to the office while Amanda still wears that style; perhaps it will look sexy, attractive, and stand out if the style is worn by a more daring woman, for example, opening two buttons on the top shirt or a span skirt that is given a slit to the middle of the thigh, but an Amanda will not. She also wears minimal makeup today and fits her face. No one says Amanda is ugly; it's just her.
"I'm not sure what I did today, but I'll try to feel better. I don't think this is me, though."
