... interaction in the elevator this morning was an interesting one for sure. Olivia was positive she had seen Nora scanning her body up and down when she thought Olivia wasn’t looking. And then in the meeting, before the phone incident, Olivia couldn’t keep her eyes off Nora. And the way she blushed the most enticing shade of deep red when Olivia locked eyes with her… There was something there, right? She hadn’t just imagined it?
Whitney narrowed her eyes as she looked back at her friend. “Yeah…Nora.What about her?” Whitney asked skeptically. Olivia should have known that she couldn’t get anything past her best friend.
Olivia, unwilling to let down her facade, ignored Whitney’s suspicious response to her question and stuck to her pretense. “I was just wondering,” she said with an impressively casual shrug of her shoulders. “She does good work. I’ve been thinking about bringing her on to the Indigo account. I think she’d be a good fit.”
Indigo Lights was one of Lexand’s newest clients. They were a small, local cannabis distributor that was looking to expand their reach across the entire state, meaning online campaigns and possible billboard and magazine ads. Nora was young and talented, a little quirky even. She would fit right in with the eclectic start-up.

“Okay.” Whitney raised her hands in surrender, although she clearly didn’t buy for a second that Olivia wasn’t crushing on the young graphic artist. “I agree, I think she’d do a great job with Indigo.” After a moment, Whitney added, “...Just be careful, Liv.”
“There’s nothing to be careful of.”Liar!
“I trust you,” Whitney said in all sincerity. She looked down at her phone, noticing the time. “Oh, I’ve got to go! I have a meeting with accounting in ten.” She rose from her seat, gathering the trash leftover from their lunch.
“See you later!” Whitney called over her shoulder as she sauntered out the door.
“Bye!” Olivia said back as she hopped up from the table, making her way back to her desk.
Olivia lowered herself into her chair and opened her laptop. She hesitated, her fingers hovering over the keys for a few seconds as she contemplated her next move. She let out a sigh as she started typing and, almost immediately, Nora ...
