But between babysitting her manic boss and trying to reroute the dozens of random people wandering into her office, Kaia can't get anything done. Unfortunately, the problem can't wait. When the infamous bureaucrat, Axel Vance, imposes a 24-hour deadline on the Globe for solving the problem, Kaia has to start trusting her instincts—and quick.
