My mouth started immediately salivating at the thought of being in that

caffeinated safe haven on Madison Avenue.

Muffling a groan, I wrote back.

Lina: I’d love to, but I’m stuck at work.

Three dots jumped on the screen.

Rosie: You sure? I saved you a seat.

Before I could type back a reply, another text came through.

Rosie: I got the last brownie, but I’ll share. Only if you get here quickly. I’m

not made of steel.

I sighed. Definitely better than the reality of working extra time on a

Wednesday evening but …

Lina: I can’t. I’m working on the Open Day stuff I told you about. I’m

deleting that photo, BTW. Too tempting.

Rosie: Oh no. You didn’t tell me more than the fact that you were stuck with

it. When’s it taking place?

Lina: Right after I’m back from Spain. *bride emoji* *skull emoji*

Rosie: I still don’t get why you have to do it. Aren’t you swamped with work?

Yep. That was exactly what I should have been doing, the job I was paid

to do. Not organizing an open-doors day that served as an excuse to show

around a bunch of suits that I’d have to feed, babysit, and be extra nice to.

Whatever the hell that meant. But complaining wouldn’t get me anywhere.

Lina: *unamused emoji* It is what it is.
