Story: Fake Lemons Love and Luxury
“That went better than expected,” Talia whispers.
“Much better,” I agree, feeling the tension leaving my shoulders.
Raj grins. “They loved SkinSense.”
“They did. Your presentation was perfect.”
“Team effort.” He glances at Simone. “We should celebrate.”
“Drinks tonight?” Simone suggests.
“Count me in,” Talia says.
Henry raises a hand. “Yup, me too.”
“Wren, you should invite Jen too. It’s been a minute since we saw her around here.”
Talia rolls her eyes. “Just ask for her number already, Raj. How many years have you been crushing on her now?”
Raj flushes. “Who said I was?”
I chuckle. “Drink on my behalf, guys. I promised to pick Eric from work and spend the rest of the day together. And Jen is out of the state right now for a shoot.”
The team disperses after that and we return to our respective offices. Lily is on a call at her desk when I approach.
She ends the call and smiles.
“The look on your face tells me the meeting ended on a positive note.”
“It did. Everyone is happy. Our launch is on track and so is our next project.”
“That’s amazing news!” Lily claps her hands. “So what will you do about Camille Ross now? Will you let the whole thing die on its own or?”
“We know who's behind her and we will?—”
Sean appears. “Hey.”
I force a smile. “Hey.”
“Got a minute?”
My stomach tightens. “Just one. I have calls to return.”
We slip into my office. Sean closes the door, and the space feels too small, too intimate.
“Congratulations. Talia told me the meeting went well” he says. “That was a win you needed.”
“Thanks. Your input helped.”
He settles into the chair opposite me. “So you gonna keep avoiding me?”
I don’t look at him, skimming through the documents on my table without paying much attention to it. “I’m not.”
“Wren.”
I meet his gaze.
His dark blue eyes are steady. “Is it time yet?”
